(% 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

(% 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.

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.

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

154

155

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

156

157

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

158

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

159

161

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

162

163

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

377

378

379

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

380

381

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

403

404

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

405

406

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

407

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

408

409

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

410

411

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

412

413

These commands are to configure:

414

415

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

416

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

417

418

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]]

424

425

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

== 3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time ==

433

434

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

435

436

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

442

443

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

444

445

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

446

447

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

469

470

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

471

472

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

473

474

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

475

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

476

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

477

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

478

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

479

* 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.

480

* 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.

485

486

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

487

488

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

489

490

491

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

492

493

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

**Then the following parameters should be:**

498

499

* Address_Code range: A1

500

* Query_Length: 8

501

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

502

* Read_Length: 8

503

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

504

* has_CRC: 1

505

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

506

507

**So the input command is:**

508

509

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

510

511

512

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