(% 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:

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

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.

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

157

158

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

159

160

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

161

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

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

166

167

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

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:

370

371

372

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

373

374

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

396

397

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

398

399

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

400

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

401

402

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

403

404

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

405

406

These commands are to configure:

407

408

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

409

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

410

411

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]]

412

414

415

416

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

417

418

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

== 3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time ==

426

427

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

428

429

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

430

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

432

433

434

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

435

436

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

437

438

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

439

440

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

441

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

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

446

447

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

448

449

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

== 3.3 Add or Delete RS485 Sensor ==

462

463

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.

464

465

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

466

467

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

468

469

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

470

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

471

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

472

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

473

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

474

* 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.

475

* 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.

480

481

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

482

483

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

484

485

486

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

487

488

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

**Then the following parameters should be:**

493

494

* Address_Code range: A1

495

* Query_Length: 8

496

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

497

* Read_Length: 8

498

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

499

* has_CRC: 1

500

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

501

502

**So the input command is:**

503

504

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

505

506

507

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