Dragino LoRaWAN Weather Station User Manual

Dragino LoRaWAN weather station series products are designed for measuring atmospheric conditions to provide information for weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate. They consist of a main process device (WSC1-L) and various sensors.

23

24

25

The sensors include various type such as: Rain Gauge, Temperature/Humidity/Pressure sensor, Wind Speed/direction sensor, Illumination sensor, CO2 sensor, Rain/Snow sensor, PM2.5/10 sensor, PAR(Photosynthetically Available Radiation) sensor, Total Solar Radiation sensor and so on.

26

27

28

Main process device WSC1-L is an outdoor LoRaWAN RS485 end node. It is powered by external 12v solar power and have a built-in li-on backup battery. WSC1-L reads value from various sensors and upload these sensor data to IoT server via LoRaWAN wireless protocol.

29

30

31

WSC1-L is full compatible with LoRaWAN Class C protocol, it can work with standard LoRaWAN gateway.

== 2.1 Installation ==

39

40

Below is an installation example for the weather station. Field installation example can be found at [[Appendix I: Field Installation Photo.>>path:#Installation_Photo]]

41

42

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.png]]

**Wiring:**

~1. WSC1-L and sensors all powered by solar power via MPPT

47

48

2. WSC1-L and sensors connect to each other via RS485/Modbus.

49

50

3. WSC1-L read value from each sensor and send uplink via LoRaWAN

51

52

53

WSC1-L is shipped with a RS485 converter board, for the easy connection to different sensors and WSC1-L. Below is a connection photo:

54

55

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image003.png]]

Notice 1:

* All weather sensors and WSC1-L are powered by MPPT solar recharge controller. MPPT is connected to solar panel and storage battery.

63

* WSC1-L has an extra 1000mAh back up battery. So it can work even solar panel and storage battery Fails.

64

* Weather sensors won’t work if solar panel and storage battery fails.

Notice 2:

Due to shipment and importation limitation, user is better to purchase below parts locally:

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

73

* Mounting Kit includes pole and mast assembly. Each weather sensor has it’s own mounting assembly, user can check the sensor section in this manual.

* Cabinet.

== 2.2 How it works? ==

80

81

Each WSC1-L is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use WSC1-L in a LoRaWAN network, user needs to input the OTAA keys in LoRaWAN network server. After finish installation as above. Create WSC1-L in your LoRaWAN server and Power on WSC1-L , it can join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit sensor data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.

82

83

84

Open WSC1-L and put the yellow jumper as below position to power on WSC1-L.

85

86

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image004.png]]

Notice:

1. WSC1-L will auto scan available weather sensors when power on or reboot.

92

1. User can send a downlink command( 增加下发命令的连接) to WSC1-L to do a re-scan on the available sensors.

== 2.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network ==

97

98

This section shows an example for how to join the TTN V3 LoRaWAN IoT server. Usages with other LoRaWAN IoT servers are of similar procedure.

101

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image005.png]]

Assume the DLOS8 is already set to connect to [[TTN V3 network >>url:https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/]]. We need to add the WSC1-L device in TTN V3:

106

107

108

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1**(%%): Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from WSC1-L.

109

110

Each WSC1-L is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

152

153

Uplink payloads include two types: Valid Sensor Value and other status / control command.

154

155

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

156

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

=== 2.4.1 Uplink FPORT ===

5, Device Status ===

Uplink the device configures with FPORT=5. Once WSC1-L Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server. After first uplink, WSC1-L will uplink Device Status every 12 hours

167

168

169

User can also use downlink command(0x2301) to ask WSC1-L to resend this uplink

=== 2.4.2 Uplink FPORT=2, Real time sensor value ===

267

WSC1-L will send this uplink after Device Config uplink once join LoRaWAN network successfully. And it will periodically send this uplink. Default interval is 20 minutes and [[can be changed>>||anchor="H"]].

269

270

Uplink uses FPORT=2 and every 20 minutes send one uplink by default.

271

272

273

The upload length is dynamic, depends on what type of weather sensors are connected. The uplink payload is combined with sensor segments. As below:

When sending this payload to LoRaWAN server. WSC1-L will send this in one uplink or several uplinks according to LoRaWAN spec requirement. For example, total length of Payload is 54 bytes.

376

377

* When WSC1-L sending in US915 frequency DR0 data rate. Because this data rate has limitation of 11 bytes payload for each uplink. The payload will be split into below packets and uplink. Uplink 1: 01 03 00 14 02 02 03 02 C9 03

407

408

Application platform provides a human friendly interface to show the sensor data, once we have sensor data in TTN V3, we can use Datacake to connect to TTN V3 and see the data in Datacake. Below are the steps:

409

410

411

**(% style="color:blue" %)Step 1**(%%): Be sure that your device is programmed and properly connected to the LoRaWAN network.

412

413

These commands are to configure:

448

449

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

450

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

451

789

WSS-01 uses a tipping bucket to detect rainfall. The tipping bucket use 3D streamline

790

791

shape to make sure it works smoothly and is easy to clean.

792

793

794

WSS-01 is designed to support the Dragino Weather station solution.

795

796

Users only need to connect WSS-01 RS485 interface to WSC1-L. The weather station main

797

798

processor WSC1-L can detect and upload the rainfall to the IoT Server via wireless LoRaWAN protocol

799

800

801

The tipping bucket of WSS-01 is adjusted to the best angle. When installation, user only needs

802

803

to screw up and adjust the bottom horizontally.

804

== 6.6 Total Solar Radiation sensor ~-~- WSS-06 ==

1161

1162

WSS-06 is Total Radiation Sensor can be used to measure the total solar radiation in the spectral range of 0.3 to 3 μm (300 to 3000 nm). If the sensor face is down, the reflected radiation can be measured, and the shading ring can also be used to measure the scattered radiation.

1163

1164

1165

The core device of the radiation sensor is a high-precision photosensitive element, which has good stability and high precision; at the same time, a precision-machined PTTE radiation cover is installed outside the sensing element, which effectively prevents environmental factors from affecting its performance

1166

1167

1168

WSS-06 is designed to support the Dragino Weather station solution.

1169

1170

1171

Users only need to connect WSS-06 RS485 interface to WSC1-L. The weather station main

1172

1173

processor WSC1-L can detect and upload Total Solar Radiation to the IoT Server via wireless LoRaWAN protocol.

== 6.7 PAR (Photosynthetically Available Radiation) ~-~- WSS-07 ==

1226

1227

WSS-07 photosynthetically active radiation sensor is mainly used to measure the photosynthetically active radiation of natural light in the wavelength range of 400-700nm.

1228

1229

1230

WSS-07 use precision optical detectors and has an optical filter of 400-700nm, when natural light is irradiated, a voltage signal proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation is generated, and its luminous flux density is proportional to the cosine of the direct angle of the incident light.

WSS-07 is designed to support the Dragino Weather station solution.
