(% 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

71

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

72

73

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

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

78

* 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? ==

86

87

(((

88

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.

95

96

97

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

98

99

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

100

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 ==

107

108

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.

109

110

111

[[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:

116

117

118

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

119

120

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

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

156

157

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

158

159

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

160

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

161

162

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

163

164

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 ==

333

334

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:

335

336

337

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

338

339

(% 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 =

361

362

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

363

364

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

365

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

366

367

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

368

369

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

370

371

These commands are to configure:

372

373

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

374

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

375

376

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]]

377

378

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

379

380

381

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

382

383

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

== 3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time ==

391

392

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

393

394

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

395

396

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

397

398

399

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

400

401

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

402

403

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

404

405

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

406

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

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

413

414

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

415

416

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

417

418

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

419

420

421

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

422

423

* 0xE101 Same as: AT+ALARMMOD=1

424

* 0xE100 Same as: AT+ALARMMOD=0

== 3.3 Add or Delete RS485 Sensor ==

431

432

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.

433

434

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

435

436

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

437

438

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

439

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

440

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

441

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

442

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

443

* 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.

444

* 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.

449

450

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

451

452

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

453

454

455

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

456

457

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

**Then the following parameters should be:**

462

463

* Address_Code range: A1

464

* Query_Length: 8

465

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

466

* Read_Length: 8

467

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

468

* has_CRC: 1

469

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

470

471

472

**So the input command is:**

473

474

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

475

476

477

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