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.

= 2. Configure SDI-12 to connect to LoRaWAN network =

174

175

== 2.1 How it works ==

176

177

178

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.

179

180

181

== 2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA) ==

182

183

184

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.

185

187

[[image:image-20230201090528-5.png||height="465" width="1111"]]

188

189

190

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.

191

192

193

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

194

195

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

196

197

198

== 2.3 SDI-12 Related Commands ==

242

243

244

User need to configure SDI-12-LB to communicate with SDI-12 sensors otherwise the uplink payload will only include a few bytes.

245

246

247

=== 2.3.1 Basic SDI-12 debug command ===

248

249

250

User can run some basic SDI-12 command to debug the connection to the SDI-12 sensor. These commands can be sent via AT Command or LoRaWAN downlink command.

251

252

If SDI-12 sensor return value after get these commands, //SDI-12-LB// will uplink the return on FPORT=100, otherwise, if there is no response from SDI-12 sensor. //SDI-12-LB// will uplink NULL (0x 4E 55 4C 4C) to server.

111. Define periodically SDI-12 commands and uplink.

438

439

AT+COMMANDx & AT+DATACUTx

440

441

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.**

447

448

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

449

450

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

451

452

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

453

454

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

455

456

0 No validation check;

457

458

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

459

460

2 Check if there is return from SDI-12 sensor

461

462

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

463

464

465

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.

466

467

468

**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

474

475

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

476

477

c: define the position for valid value.

478

)))

479

480

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

481

482

483

|AT+DATACUT1 value|Final Result to combine Payload

484

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

485

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

487

488

* ** Downlink Payload:**

489

490

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

491

492

493

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

494

495

496

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,

501

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

502

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

503

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

504

* 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**

509

510

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

511

512

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

513

514

515

**Clear SDI12 Command**

516

517

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

523

524

525

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

526

527

528

* ** Downlink Payload:**

529

530

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

**command combination**

536

537

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

538

539

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

540

541

542

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.

543

544

**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.

545

546

547

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:

606

607

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

608

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

609

610

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

11.

111. Device Payload, FPORT=5

616

617

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

618

619

620

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

11. Battery Type

1226

1227

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.

1228

1229

1230

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

1251

1252

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.

1253

1254

1255

Instruction to use as below:

1256

1257

1258

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.
