Pressing ACT between 1s < time < 3sSend an uplink

If sensor has already attached to NB-IoT network, sensor will send an uplink packet, blue led will blink once.
Meanwhile, BLE module will be active and user can connect via BLE to configure device.

Pressing ACT for more than 3sActive Device

Green led will fast blink 5 times, device will enter OTA mode for 3 seconds. And then start to  attach NB-IoT network.
Green led will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after joined in network.
Once sensor is active, BLE module will be active and user can connect via BLE to configure device, no matter if device attach NB-IoT network or not

Fast press ACT 5 times.Deactivate Device

Red led will solid on for 5 seconds. Means device is in Deep Sleep Mode.

2.  Use LTC2-NB/NS to communicate with IoT Server

2.1  Send data to IoT server via NB-IoT network

 

The LTC2-NB/NS is equipped with a NB-IoT module, the pre-loaded firmware in LTC2-NB/NS will get environment data from sensors and send the value to local NB-IoT network via the NB-IoT module.  The NB-IoT network will forward this value to IoT server via the protocol defined by LTC2-NB/NS.

Below shows the network structure:

image-20241224134932-2.png

There are two version: -GE and -1T version of LTC2-NB/NS.

GE Version: This version doesn't include SIM card or point to any IoT server. User needs to use AT Commands to configure below two steps to set LTC2-NB/NS send data to IoT server.

  • Install NB-IoT SIM card and configure APN. See instruction of Attach Network.

Below shows result of different server as a glance.

3. Configure LTC2-NB/NS

3.1 Configure Methods

LTC2-NB/NS supports below configure method:

​​​3.2  Serial Access Password

After the Bluetooth or UART connection is successful, use the Serial Access Password to enter the AT command window.

The label on the box of the node will print the initial password: AT+PIN=xxxxxx, and directly use the six-digit password to access the AT instruction window.

By default, Sensor will send uplinks every 2 hours.

User can use below commands to change the uplink interval.

AT Command: AT+TDC       

Example: AT+TDC=7200   // Set Update Interval to 7200 seconds

Downlink Commands: 0x01

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

Example:     12 hours= 43200 seconds     43200(D)=0xA8C0(H)

                    Downlink Payload: 01 00 A8 C0          // AT+TDC=43200, Set Update Interval to 12 hours.

Note: User can also push the button for more than 1 second to activate an uplink.

3.5 Set the receiving time

Feature: Extend the receiving time

AT Command: AT+RXDL

Example: AT+RXDL=1000   // Set the receiving time delay to 1000ms

Downlink Commands: 0x03

Format: Command Code (0x03) followed by 3 bytes.

Example:  Downlink Payload: 03 00 03 E8     // AT+RXDL=1000

3.6 Reset

Feature: Trig a reset of the MCU.

AT Command: ATZ

Downlink Commands: 0x04FF

3.7 Trigger an uplink by external interrupt

LTC2-NB/NS has an external trigger interrupt function. Users can use the PB15 pin to trigger the upload of data packets.

AT command:

  • AT+INTMOD         // Set the trigger interrupt mode
  • AT+INTMOD=0    // Disable Interrupt
  • AT+INTMOD=1    // Trigger by rising and falling edge
  • AT+INTMOD=2    // Trigger by falling edge
  • AT+INTMOD=3    // Trigger by rising edge

Downlink Commands: 0x06

Format: Command Code (0x06) followed by 3 bytes.

Example1:  Downlink Payload: 06 00 00 01    // AT+INTMOD=1

Example2:  Downlink Payload: 06 00 00 03    // AT+INTMOD=3

3.8 Set the QoS level

This command is used to set the QoS level of MQTT.

AT command:

  • AT+MQOS=xx   // 0~2

Downlink command: 0x07

Format: Command Code (0x07) followed by 1 byte.

Ex1: Downlink payload: 0x0700   // AT+MQOS=0

Ex2: Downlink payload: 0x0701   // AT+MQOS=1

3.9 Clock logging

Sometimes when we deploy lots of end nodes in field. We want all sensors sample data at the same time, and upload these data together for analyze. In such case, we can use clock loging feature.

We can use this command to set the start time of data recording and the time interval to meet the requirements of the specific collection time of data.

AT command: AT+CLOCKLOG=a,b,c,d

a: 0: Disable Clock logging.   1: Enable Clock Logging

b: Specify First sampling start second: range (0 ~ 3599, 65535)         //  Note: If parameter b is set to 65535, the log period starts after the node accesses the network and sends packets.

c: Specify the sampling interval: range (0 ~ 255 minutes)

d: How many entries should be uplink on every TDC (max 32)

Note: To disable clock recording, set the following parameters: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,0,0

image-20240315141254-1.png

Example:

AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,1,5

After the node sends the first packet, data is recorded to the memory at intervals of 1 minute. For each TDC uplink, the uplink load will include: battery information + the last 5 memory records (payload + timestamp).

image-20241226135420-7.png

Note: Users need to synchronize the server time before configuring this command. If the server time is not synchronized before this command is configured, the command takes effect only after the node is reset.

Downlink command: 0x08

Format: Command Code (0x08) followed by 5 bytes.

  • Example 1: Downlink Payload: 08 01 FFFF 0F 08              // Set SHT record time: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,15,8
  • Example 2: Downlink Payload: 08 01 04B0 0F 08             // Set SHT record time: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,1200,15,8

Note: When entering the downlink payload, there must be no Spaces between bytes.

3.10 Set the TLS mode

Refer to this link (MQTT Connection to send data to Tago.io)to use the TLS mode.

AT Command: AT+TLSMOD

Example 1:  AT+TLSMOD=0,0   // Disable TLS Mode.

Example 2:  AT+TLSMOD=1,0   // No authentication

3.23 Domain name resolution settings

Feature: Set dynamic domain name resolution IP.

AT command: AT+BKDNS

Command ExampleFunction/ParametersResponse/Explanation

AT+BKDNS=?

Get current Settings

0,0,NULL  (default)
OK

 

AT+BKDNS=a,b,c

 

a: Enable/Disable dynamic domain name resolution.

1: Disable dynamic domain name update. The ip address will be saved after the domain name is resolved, if the next domain name resolution fails, the last saved ip address will be used.
2: Enable dynamic domain name update. The ip address will be saved after domain name resolution, if the next domain name resolution fails, the last saved ip address will be used, and the domain name resolution will be updated regularly according to the time set by the customer.
b: Set the time to update the domain name resolution at regular intervals.

Unit: hour

 

c: Set the IP address manually.

The format is the same as AT+SERVADDR.

 If domain name resolution fails, this ip address will be used directly, if domain name resolution succeeds, parameter c will be updated to the successfully resolved IP address.

Example:

  • AT+BKDNS=1,0        // Dynamic domain name resolution is disabled.
  • AT+BKDNS=2,1        // The dynamic domain name resolution function is enabled and the automatic update time is set to 1 hour.
  • AT+BKDNS=2,4,3.69.98.183,1883      // The dynamic domain name resolution function is enabled and the automatic update time is set to 4 hour, and manually set the ip address, if the domain name failed to resolve, it will directly use this ip to communicate. When the next domain name resolution is successful, it will be updated to the ip address of the successful resolution.
