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

The LoRaWAN Control Terminal (868MHz) functions as a comprehensive Industrial IoT (IIoT) node designed to bridge the gap between physical field devices and remote cloud platforms. Operating on the 868MHz band (suitable for Europe and other ITU Region 1 areas), this wireless controller simplifies complex telemetry projects by integrating data acquisition, logic processing, and device actuation into a single, DIN-rail mountable unit. It is specifically engineered for scenarios such as smart agriculture, building automation, and industrial monitoring, where reliable long-range communication and autonomous offline operation are critical. By combining versatile interfaces with standard LoRaWAN connectivity, this Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) offers a streamlined, cost-effective alternative to complex PLC and radio setups, allowing for rapid deployment in environments requiring both sensing and control.

Stable Long-Range

Communication Built upon the standard LoRaWAN protocol, the wireless node offers exceptional compatibility with both private gateways and public network infrastructure like The Things Network (TTN). By utilizing the 868MHz frequency, the device achieves deep signal penetration and long-distance coverage. This connectivity ensures reliable data upload from remote locations—such as agricultural parks or sprawling industrial complexes—with transmission ranges reaching up to 4km in open environments, effectively solving the coverage limitations of traditional Wi-Fi or wired cabling.

Hybrid Interface for Acquisition and Control

Unlike standard sensors that only transmit data, this IoT controller is equipped with a versatile interface array to handle both "Read" and "Write" operations:

Edge Logic and Offline Autonomy

A defining feature of this smart terminal is its ability to execute control rules locally. Through a visual configuration interface, logical conditions can be preset (e.g., "If moisture < 20%, turn on relay"). This capability allows for device linkage and automatic alarm triggering without constant cloud interaction. Crucially, the unit supports offline operation, meaning that if the LoRaWAN network connection is lost, the controller continues to execute its preset logic commands, ensuring the safety and stability of the local application is never compromised.
