SDI-12-LB -- SDI-12 to LoRaWAN Converter User Manual

SDI-12 (Serial Digital Interface at 1200 baud) is an asynchronous [[serial communications>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_communication]] protocol for intelligent sensors that monitor environment data. SDI-12 protocol is widely used in Agriculture sensor and Weather Station sensors.

27

28

**SDI-12-LB** has SDI-12 interface and support 12v output to power external SDI-12 sensor. It can get the environment data from SDI-12 sensor and sends out the data via LoRaWAN wireless protocol.

29

30

The LoRa wireless technology used in **SDI-12-LB** allows device to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption.

31

32

**SDI-12-LB** is powered by **8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**, it is designed for long term use up to 5 years.

33

34

Each **SDI-12-LB** is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registrations, register these keys to local LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

1. Configure SDI-12 to connect to LoRaWAN network

178

11. How it works

179

180

The SDI-12-LB is configured as **LoRaWAN OTAA Class A** mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, you need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and activate the SDI-12-LB. It will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value. The default uplink interval is 20 minutes.

1.

11. Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)

185

186

Following is an example for how to join the [[TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network>>url:https://console.cloud.thethings.network/]]. Below is the network structure; we use the [[LPS8v2>>url:https://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/228-lps8v2.html]] as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example.

190

191

192

The LPS8V2 is already set to connected to [[TTN network >>url:https://console.cloud.thethings.network/]], so what we need to now is configure the TTN server.

193

194

195

**Step 1**: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from SDI-12-LB.

196

197

Each SDI-12-LB is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

198

199

111. Define periodically SDI-12 commands and uplink.

440

441

AT+COMMANDx & AT+DATACUTx

442

443

User can define max 15 SDI-12 Commands (AT+COMMAND1 ~~ AT+COMMANDF). On each uplink period (TDC time, default 20 minutes), SDI-12-LB will send these SDI-12 commands and wait for return from SDI-12 sensors. SDI-12-LB will then combine these returns and uplink via LoRaWAN.

* ** AT Command:**

**AT+COMMANDx=var1,var2,var3,var4.**

449

450

var1: SDI-12 command , for example: 0RC0!

451

452

var2: Wait timeout for return. (unit: second)

453

454

var3: Whether to send //addrD0!// to get return after var2 timeout. 0: Don’t Send //addrD0!//; 1: Send //addrD0!//.

455

456

var4: validation check for return. If return invalid, SDI-12-LB will resend this command. Max 2 retries.

457

458

0 No validation check;

459

460

1 Check if return chars are printable char(0x20 ~~ 0x7E);

461

462

2 Check if there is return from SDI-12 sensor

463

464

3 Check if return pass CRC check ( SDI-12 command var1 must include CRC request);

465

466

467

Each AT+COMMANDx is followed by a **AT+DATACUT** command. AT+DATACUT command is used to take the useful string from the SDI-12 sensor so the final payload will have the minimum length to uplink.

468

469

470

**AT+DATACUTx** : This command defines how to handle the return from AT+COMMANDx, max return length is 100 bytes.

|(((

AT+DATACUTx=a,b,c

a: length for the return of AT+COMMAND

476

477

b:1: grab valid value by byte, max 6 bytes. 2: grab valid value by bytes section, max 3 sections.

478

479

c: define the position for valid value.

480

)))

481

482

For example, if return from AT+COMMAND1 is “013METER TER12 112T12-00024895” ,. Below AT+DATACUT1 will get different result to combine payload:

483

484

485

|AT+DATACUT1 value|Final Result to combine Payload

486

|34,1,1+2+3|0D 00 01 30 31 33

487

|34,2,1~~8+12~~16|0D 00 01 30 31 33 4D 45 54 45 52 54 45 52 31 32

489

490

* ** Downlink Payload:**

491

492

**0xAF** downlink command can be used to set AT+COMMANDx or AT+DATACUTx.

493

494

495

**Note : if user use AT+COMMANDx to add a new command, he also need to send AT+DATACUTx downlink.**

496

497

498

Format: ** AF MM NN LL XX XX XX XX YY**

Where:

* MM: the AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT to be set. Value from 01 ~~ 0F,

503

* NN: 1: set the AT+DATACUT value ; 2: set the AT+DATACUT value.

504

* LL: The length of AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command

505

* XX XX XX XX: AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command

506

* YY: If YY=0, RS485-LN will execute the downlink command without uplink; if YY=1, RS485-LN will execute an uplink after got this command.

Example:

**AF 03 01 07 30 4D 43 21 01 01 01 00**: Same as AT+COMMAND3=**0MC!**,** 1**,** 1**,** 1**

511

512

**AF 03 02 06 10 01 05 06 09 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**16**,**1**,**5+6+9+10**

513

514

**AF 03 02 06 0B 02 05 07 08 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**11**,**2**,**5~~7+8~~10**

515

516

517

**Clear SDI12 Command**

518

519

The AT+COMMANDx and AT+DATACUTx settings are stored in special location, user can use below command to clear them.

* ** AT Command:**

**~ AT+CMDEAR=mm,nn** mm: start position of erase ,nn: stop position of erase

525

526

527

Etc. AT+CMDEAR=1,10 means erase AT+COMMAND1/AT+DATACUT1 to AT+COMMAND10/AT+DATACUT10

528

529

530

* ** Downlink Payload:**

531

532

**~ 0x09 aa bb** same as AT+CMDEAR=aa,bb

**command combination**

538

539

Below shows a screen shot how the results combines together to a uplink payload.

540

541

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image029.png]]

542

543

544

If user don’t want to use DATACUT for some command, he simply want to uplink all returns. AT+ALLDATAMOD can be set to 1.

545

546

**AT+ALLDATAMOD** will simply get all return and don’t do CRC check as result for SDI-12 command. AT+DATACUTx command has higher priority, if AT+DATACUTx has been set, AT+ALLDATAMOD will be ignore for this SDI-12 command.

547

548

549

For example: as below photo, AT+ALLDATAMOD=1, but AT+DATACUT1 has been set, AT+DATACUT1 will be still effect the result.

11. Uplink Payload

Uplink payloads have two types:

608

609

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

610

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

611

612

The application server should parse the correct value based on FPORT settings.

111. Device Payload, FPORT=5

618

619

Include device configure status. Once SDI-12-LB Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server.

620

621

622

Users can also use the downlink command(0x26 01) to ask SDI-12-LB to resend this uplink.

1. Battery & how to replace

1227

11. Battery Type

1228

1229

SDI-12-LB is equipped with a [[8500mAH ER26500 Li-SOCI2 battery>>url:https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=datasheet/Battery/ER26500/]]. The battery is un-rechargeable battery with low discharge rate targeting for 8~~10 years use. This type of battery is commonly used in IoT target for long-term running, such as water meter.

1230

1231

1232

The discharge curve is not linear so can’t simply use percentage to show the battery level. Below is the battery performance.

11. Power Consumption Analyze

1253

1254

Dragino Battery powered product are all runs in Low Power mode. We have an update battery calculator which base on the measurement of the real device. User can use this calculator to check the battery life and calculate the battery life if want to use different transmit interval.

1255

1256

1257

Instruction to use as below:

1258

1259

1260

Step 1: Downlink the up-to-date DRAGINO_Battery_Life_Prediction_Table.xlsx from:

111. Battery Note

The Li-SICO battery is designed for small current / long period application. It is not good to use a high current, short period transmit method. The recommended minimum period for use of this battery is 5 minutes. If you use a shorter period time to transmit LoRa, then the battery life may be decreased.

You can change the battery in the SDI-12-LB.The type of battery is not limited as long as the output is between 3v to 3.6v. On the main board, there is a diode (D1) between the battery and the main circuit. If you need to use a battery with less than 3.3v, please remove the D1 and shortcut the two pads of it so there won’t be voltage drop between battery and main board.
