4.2 LoRaWAN Settings LoRaWAN settings is used for configuring the transmission parameters in LoRaWAN® network. Step 1: Go to “LoRaWAN -> Basic” of ToolBox software or “Setting->LoRaWAN Settings” for ToolBox APP to configure join type, App EUI, App Key and other information. You can also keep all settings by default. Parameters Device EUI App EUI Application Port Working Mode Join Type Description Unique ID of the device which can also be found on the label. Default App EUI is 24E124C0002A001.
packets to check connection status every 30 mins; If no reply after specific packets, the device will re-join. Reporting interval > 30 mins: device will send specific mounts of LoRaMAC packets every to check connection status every reporting interval; If no reply after specific packets, the device will re-join. ADR Mode Allow network server to adjust datarate of the device. Tx Power Based on LoRaWAN® regional parameter document. Note: 1) Please contact sales for device EUI list if there are many units.
Note: For -868M model, default frequency is EU868; For -915M model, default frequency is AU915. 4.3 Interface Settings UC50x series support data collection by multiple interfaces including GPIOs, analog inputs and serial ports. Besides, it can also power the terminal devices by power output interfaces. Basic settings are as follows: Step 1: Go to “General->Basic” of ToolBox software or “Setting->General Settings” page to change the reporting interval.
Interface 1/2 3V3 Output Change Password Enable 3.3V power output. After enabled, the power output will supply power continuously. Change the password for ToolBox APP or software to read/write this device. Step 2: Go to corresponding pages to change GPIO, analog input or serial port settings as following chapters. 4.3.1 RS485 Settings Step 1: Connect RS485 device to RS485 port on interface 1. If you need UC50x to power this device, please connect the power cable to 5V/9V/12V power output on interface 1.
Stop Bit 1 bit/2 bit are available. Parity None, Odd and Oven are available. Execution Interval The execution interval between each Modbus command. The maximum response time that the UC50x waits for the reply to the Max Resp Time command. If it does not get a response after the max response time, it is determined that the command has timed out. Set the maximum retry times after device fails to read data from RS485 Max Retry Time terminal devices.
Step 4: For ToolBox software, click “Fetch” to check if UC50x can read correct data from terminal devices. You can also click “Fetch” on the top of list to fetch all channel data. Note: Please do not click “Fetch” frequently since response time to reply is differ for every terminal device. For ToolBox APP, a. Tap every Modbus channel, click “Collect” and attach smart phone to device to make device collect data. b. Click “Fetch” and attach smart phone to make APP read the data.
4.3.2 RS232 Settings Step 1: Connect RS232 device to RS232 port on interface 1. If you need UC50x to power this device, please connect the power cable to 5V/9V/12V power output on interface 1. Step 2: Go to “General -> Serial” of ToolBox software or “Setting->Serial Setting” to enable RS232 and configure serial port settings. Serial port settings should the same as RS232 terminal devices.
Step 3: Select GPIO type according to your requirements. Digital Input: detect high or low status of devices; Digital Output: Send voltage signal to trigger devices; Counter: pulse counter. Digital Input: Step 4: Select initial status of digital input. If pull up is selected, falling edge will be triggered; If pull down is selected, rising edge will be triggered. Step 5: Click “Fetch” to check current status of digital input.
Pulse Counter: Step 4: Select initial status of digital input. If pull up is selected, falling edge will be triggered and increase 1; if pull down is selected, rising edge will be triggered and increase 1. Parameters Description Digital Input Initial status of counter. Pull Down: Increase 1 when detecting rising edge Pull Up/None: Increase 1 when detecting falling edge Digital Filter It’s recommended to enable when pulse period is greater than 250us.
Step 3: Select analog input type according to analog device type. Note: Ensure DIP switches has changed before changing “Analog Input Signal Type” to 0-10V. Step 4: Enable “Interface 2(Pin 1) 5V/9V/12V” and configure “Power Output Time Before Collect”, UC50x will power the analog devices for a period of time before collecting data. Note: When you use power output to power analog devices, it only supplies power when reporting interval is coming.
