60

61

62

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

63

64

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

65

66

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

67

68

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

69

70

71

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

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

79

80

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

81

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

82

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

83

84

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

85

86

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

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

91

* 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.

92

* Cabinet.

93

94

== 2.2 How it works? ==

95

96

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.

97

98

99

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

100

101

[[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.

107

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.

108

109

== 2.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network ==

110

111

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.

112

113

114

[[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:

119

120

121

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

122

123

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

124

125

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image006.png]]

126

127

128

User can enter these keys in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screen shot:

129

130

Add APP EUI in the application.

150

151

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image010.png]]

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 2**(%%): Power on WSC1-L, it will start to join TTN server. After join success, it will start to upload sensor data to TTN V3 and user can see in the panel.

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

165

166

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

167

168

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

169

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

170

171

=== 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

176

177

178

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

280

281

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

282

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.

387

388

* 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

== 2.5 Show data on Application Server ==

418

419

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:

420

421

422

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

423

424

(% 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.

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

530

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

531

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

532

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

533

* 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.

534

* 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.

539

540

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

541

542

543

|0xA1|0x03|0x00|0x00|0x00|0x01|0x9C|0xAA

544

| | | | | | | |

545

546

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

547

548

549

|0xA1|0x03|0x00|0x02|0x00|0x0A|0x7C|0xAD

550

| | | | | | | |

551

552

Then the following parameters should be:

553

554

* Address_Code range: A1

555

* Query_Length: 8

556

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

557

* Read_Length: 8

558

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

559

* has_CRC: 1

560

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

561

562

So the input command is:

563

564

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

565

566

567

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

WSS-01 RS485 Rain Gauge is used in meteorology and hydrology to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation (mainly rainfall) over an area.

772

773

774

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

775

776

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

777

778

779

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

780

781

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

782

783

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

784

785

786

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

787

788

to screw up and adjust the bottom horizontally.

789

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

1114

1115

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.

1116

1117

1118

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

1119

1120

1121

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

1122

1123

1124

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

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

1171

1172

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.

1173

1174

1175

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.
