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.

26

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

31

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.

32

33

34

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

35

36

37

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

192

11. How it works

193

194

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.

111. Define periodically SDI-12 commands and uplink.

455

456

AT+COMMANDx & AT+DATACUTx

457

458

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.**

464

465

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

466

467

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

468

469

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

470

471

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

472

473

0 No validation check;

474

475

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

476

477

2 Check if there is return from SDI-12 sensor

478

479

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

480

481

482

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.

483

484

485

**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

491

492

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

493

494

c: define the position for valid value.

)))

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

499

500

501

|AT+DATACUT1 value|Final Result to combine Payload

502

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

503

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

|34,2,1~~34|0D 00 01 30 31 33 4D 45 54 45 52 20 20 20 54 45 52 31 32 20 31 31 32 54 31 32 2D 30 30 30 32 34 38 39 35 0D 0A

* ** Downlink Payload:**

509

510

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

511

512

513

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

514

515

516

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,

521

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

522

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

523

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

524

* 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**

529

530

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

531

532

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

533

534

535

**Clear SDI12 Command**

536

537

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

543

544

545

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

546

547

548

* ** Downlink Payload:**

549

550

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

**command combination**

556

557

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

558

559

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

560

561

562

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.

563

564

**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.

565

566

567

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

568

569

570

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image030.png]]

571

572

573

If AT+ALLDATAMOD=1, **FX,X** will be added in the payload, FX specify which command is used and X specify the length of return. for example in above screen, F1 05 means the return is from AT+COMMAND1 and the return is 5 bytes.

**Compose Uplink**

**AT+DATAUP=0**

Compose the uplink payload with value returns in sequence and send with A SIGNLE UPLINK.

582

583

Final Payload is Battery Info+PAYVER + VALID Value from RETURN1 + Valid Value from RETURN2 + … + RETURNx

584

585

Where PAYVER is defined by AT+PAYVER, below is an example screen shot.

**AT+DATAUP=1**

Compose the uplink payload with value returns in sequence and send with Multiply UPLINKs.

Final Payload is

**Battery Info+PAYVER + PAYLOAD COUNT + PAYLOAD# + DATA**

598

599

1. Battery Info (2 bytes): Battery voltage

600

1. PAYVER (1 byte): Defined by AT+PAYVER

601

1. PAYLOAD COUNT (1 byte): Total how many uplinks of this sampling.

602

1. PAYLOAD# (1 byte): Number of this uplink. (from 0,1,2,3…,to PAYLOAD COUNT)

603

1. DATA: Valid value: max 6 bytes(US915 version here, Notice*!) for each uplink so each uplink <= 11 bytes. For the last uplink, DATA will might less than 6 bytes

**Notice: the Max bytes is according to the max support bytes in different Frequency Bands for lowest SF. As below:**

609

610

~* For AU915/AS923 bands, if UplinkDwell time=0, max 51 bytes for each uplink ( so 51 -5 = 46 max valid date)

611

612

* For AU915/AS923 bands, if UplinkDwell time=1, max 11 bytes for each uplink ( so 11 -5 = 6 max valid date).

613

614

* For US915 band, max 11 bytes for each uplink ( so 11 -5 = 6 max valid date).

615

616

~* For all other bands: max 51 bytes for each uplink ( so 51 -5 = 46 max valid date).

617

618

*** When AT+DATAUP=1, the maximum number of segments is 15, and the maximum total number of bytes is 1500;**

619

620

**~ When AT+DATAUP=1 and AT+ADR=0, the maximum number of bytes of each payload is determined by the DR value.**

11. Uplink Payload

Uplink payloads have two types:

627

628

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

629

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

630

631

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

111. Device Payload, FPORT=5

637

638

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

639

640

641

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

1. Battery & how to replace

1267

11. Battery Type

1268

1269

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.

1270

1271

1272

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

1273

1274

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image036.png]]

1275

1276

1277

Minimum Working Voltage for the SDI-12-LB:

1278

1279

SDI-12-LB: 2.45v ~~ 3.6v

1.

11. Replace Battery

Any battery with range 2.45 ~~ 3.6v can be a replacement. We recommend to use Li-SOCl2 Battery.

1286

1287

And make sure the positive and negative pins match.

1.

11. Power Consumption Analyze

1293

1294

1295

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.

1296

1297

1298

Instruction to use as below:

1299

1300

1301

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

1302

1303

[[https:~~/~~/www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_End_Node/Battery_Analyze/>>url:https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_End_Node/Battery_Analyze/]]

1304

1305

1306

Step 2: Open it and choose

* Product Model

* Uplink Interval

* Working Mode

And the Life expectation in difference case will be shown on the right.

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.

1.

11.

111. Replace the battery

1343

1344

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.

1345

1346

1347

The default battery pack of SDI-12-LB includes a ER26500 plus super capacitor. If user can’t find this pack locally, they can find ER26500 or equivalence, which will also work in most case. The SPC can enlarge the battery life for high frequency use (update period below 5 minutes)
