(% 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.

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

73

74

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

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

79

* 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? ==

87

88

(((

89

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.

102

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

103

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

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

160

161

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

162

163

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

164

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

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

170

171

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

366

367

368

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

369

370

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

392

393

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

394

395

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

396

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

397

398

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

399

400

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

401

402

These commands are to configure:

403

404

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

405

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

406

407

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]]

408

409

410

411

412

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

413

414

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

== 3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time ==

422

423

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

424

425

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

426

427

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

428

429

430

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

431

432

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

433

434

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

435

436

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

437

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

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

443

444

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

445

446

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

447

== 3.3 Add or Delete RS485 Sensor ==

460

461

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.

462

463

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

464

465

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

466

467

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

468

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

469

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

470

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

471

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

472

* 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.

473

* 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.

478

479

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

480

481

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

482

483

484

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

485

486

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

**Then the following parameters should be:**

491

492

* Address_Code range: A1

493

* Query_Length: 8

494

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

495

* Read_Length: 8

496

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

497

* has_CRC: 1

498

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

499

500

**So the input command is:**

501

502

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

503

504

505

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