(% 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

372

373

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:

374

375

376

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

377

378

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

400

401

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

402

403

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

404

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

405

406

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

407

408

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

409

410

These commands are to configure:

411

412

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

413

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

414

415

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]]

416

417

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

418

419

420

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

421

422

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

== 3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time ==

430

431

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

432

433

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

434

435

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

436

437

438

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

439

440

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

441

442

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

443

444

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

445

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

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

451

452

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

453

454

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

455

456

== 3.3 Add or Delete RS485 Sensor ==

468

469

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.

470

471

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

472

473

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

474

475

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

476

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

477

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

478

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

479

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

480

* 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.

481

* 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.

486

487

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

488

489

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

490

491

492

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

493

494

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

**Then the following parameters should be:**

499

500

* Address_Code range: A1

501

* Query_Length: 8

502

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

503

* Read_Length: 8

504

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

505

* has_CRC: 1

506

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

507

508

**So the input command is:**

509

510

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

511

512

513

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