DFRobot LoRaWAN Control Terminal (EU 868MHz, 4km Range, RS485)

The LoRaWAN Control Terminal, operating on the 868MHz band, serves as a robust Industrial IoT node, effectively connecting physical devices to cloud platforms. Engineered for long-range communication, it integrates data acquisition and device control in a convenient DIN-rail mountable format, suitable for applications such as smart agriculture and building automation.

With a standard LoRaWAN protocol, this device ensures compatibility with both private and public network infrastructures, allowing transmission ranges up to 4km in open environments. It provides reliable data transfer from remote locations, surpassing the limitations of traditional Wi-Fi or cable systems.

The terminal features a hybrid interface, capable of both data collection and device control. It supports RS485 for Modbus RTU sensors, 0-10V analog input, and digital inputs, seamlessly integrating various peripherals. The built-in relay output (24VDC/220VAC 3A) enables direct actuator operation, facilitating efficient system automation based on local or remote commands.

Equipped with edge logic capabilities, this terminal executes preset control rules locally. It ensures continuous operation even without a network connection, maintaining application stability and safety with automatic alarms and device linkage independent of cloud interaction.

Easily integrate with RS485 sensors across diverse applications:

• Smart Agriculture: Soil Temperature, Moisture, EC, pH, NPK sensors.
• Weather Monitoring: Ultrasonic Weather Stations, Rain Gauge.
• Water Quality: Freshwater/Seawater Dissolved Oxygen sensors.
• Environmental Monitoring: Solar Radiation, UV, Ambient Light sensors.

Part of the DFRobot LoRaWAN series, this terminal emphasizes simplified development and efficient deployment, offering a comprehensive solution for low-power wide-area network needs. With multi-interface designs for extensive data management and source control, it supports seamless offline operation, ensuring persistently stable application environments.
