(% style="color:blue" %)** Wiring:**

51

52

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

53

54

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

55

56

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

57

58

59

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

62

63

64

(% style="color:red" %) ** Notice 1:**

65

66

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

67

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

68

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

69

70

(% style="color:red" %)** Notice 2:**

71

72

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

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

77

* 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? ==

83

84

(((

85

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.

)))

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

92

93

94

(% style="color:red" %)**Notice:**

95

96

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

97

1. User can send a downlink command to WSC1-L to do a re-scan on the available sensors.

== 2.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network ==

102

103

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.

104

105

[[image:1656042612899-422.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:

111

112

113

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

114

115

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

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

151

152

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

153

154

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

155

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

156

157

158

=== 2.4.1 Uplink FPORT~=5, Device Status ===

159

160

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

(((

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

== 2.5 Show data on Application Server ==

329

330

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:

331

332

333

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

334

335

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 2**(%%): Configure your Application to forward data to Datacake you will need to add integration. Go to TTN V3 Console ~-~-> Applications ~-~-> Integrations ~-~-> Add Integrations.

= 3. Configure WSC1-L via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink =

357

358

Use can configure WSC1-L via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink.

359

360

* AT Command Connection: See [[FAQ>>||anchor="H7.FAQ"]].

361

* LoRaWAN Downlink instruction for different platforms: [[Use Note for Server>>doc:Main.WebHome]](IoT LoRaWAN Server)

362

363

There are two kinds of commands to configure WSC1-L, they are:

364

365

* (% style="color:#4472c4" %)**General Commands**.

366

367

These commands are to configure:

368

369

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

370

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

371

372

They are same for all Dragino Device which support DLWS-005 LoRaWAN Stack((% style="color:red" %)Note~*~*)(%%). These commands can be found on the wiki: [[End Device Downlink Command>>doc:Main.End Device AT Commands and Downlink Command.WebHome]]

373

374

(% style="color:red" %)Note~*~*: Please check early user manual if you don’t have v1.8.0 firmware.

375

376

377

* (% style="color:#4472c4" %)**Commands special design for WSC1-L**

378

379

These commands only valid for WSC1-L, as below:

== 3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time ==

384

385

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

386

387

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT Command: AT+TDC**

388

389

[[image:image-20220624142619-8.png]]

390

391

392

(% style="color:#037691" %)**Downlink Command: 0x01**

393

394

Format: Command Code (0x01) followed by 3 bytes time value.

395

396

If the downlink payload=0100003C, it means set the END Node’s Transmit Interval to 0x00003C=60(S), while type code is 01.

397

398

* Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0100001E ~/~/ Set Transmit Interval (TDC) = 30 seconds

399

* Example 2: Downlink Payload: 0100003C ~/~/ Set Transmit Interval (TDC) = 60 seconds

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

405

406

Feature: In emergency mode, WSC1-L will uplink data every 1 minute.

407

408

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT Command:**

409

410

[[image:image-20220624142956-9.png]]

(% style="color:#037691" %)**Downlink Command:**

414

415

* 0xE101 Same as: AT+ALARMMOD=1

416

* 0xE100 Same as: AT+ALARMMOD=0

== 3.3 Add or Delete RS485 Sensor ==

422

423

Feature: User can add or delete 3^^rd^^ party sensor as long they are RS485/Modbus interface,baud rate support 9600.Maximum can add 4 sensors.

424

425

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT Command: **

426

427

(% style="color:blue" %)**AT+DYSENSOR=Type_Code, Query_Length, Query_Command , Read_Length , Valid_Data ,has_CRC,timeout**

428

429

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

430

* Query_Length: RS485 Query frame length, Value cannot be greater than 10

431

* Query_Command: RS485 Query frame data to be sent to sensor, cannot be larger than 10 bytes

432

* Read_Length: RS485 response frame length supposed to receive. Max can receive

433

* Valid_Data: valid data from RS485 Response, Valid Data will be added to Payload and upload via LoRaWAN.

434

* has_CRC: RS485 Response crc check (0: no verification required 1: verification required). If CRC=1 and CRC error, valid data will be set to 0.

435

* timeout: RS485 receive timeout (uint:ms). Device will close receive window after timeout

**Example:**

User need to change external sensor use the type code as address code.

442

443

With a 485 sensor, after correctly changing the address code to A1, the RS485 query frame is shown in the following table:

444

445

[[image:image-20220624143553-10.png]]

446

447

448

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

449

450

[[image:image-20220624143618-11.png]]

451

452

453

**Then the following parameters should be:**

454

455

* Address_Code range: A1

456

* Query_Length: 8

457

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

458

* Read_Length: 8

459

* Valid_Data: 24 (Indicates that the data length is 2 bytes, starting from the 4th byte)

460

* has_CRC: 1

461

* timeout: 1500 (Fill in the test according to the actual situation)

462

463

464

**So the input command is:**

465

466

AT+DYSENSOR=A1,8,A103000000019CAA,8,24,1,1500

467

468

469

In every sampling. WSC1-L will auto append the sensor segment as per this structure and uplink.
