Planet LN1152 IoT LoRaWAN controller, RS-232/RS-485, DI/DO, relay and analog input, IP30, -40/+70C

Indoor control unit (controller) for LoRa node, which serves for data collection from multiple sensors. It contains various input-output interfaces, including analog inputs, digital inputs, relay outputs and serial ports, which simplify deployment and replacement in LoRaWAN networks. In addition, LN1152 can execute various conditions and actions without network.
Thanks to its industrial design and metal enclosure with IP30 protection rating, LN1152 has wide application in indoor applications, such as smart industry, building automation, etc.

Communication interfaces:

• 1x digital input, 1x digital output, 1x RS-232, 1x RS-485
• microUSB configuration (PC software)

The LN1152 LoRaWAN control unit with built-in numerous industrial interfaces connects to all types of sensors, meters and other devices. Through the LoRaWAN network, it also bridges Modbus data between serial and Ethernet networks. LN1152 supports LoRaWAN Class C protocol to be fully compatible with standard LoRaWAN gateways, including the PLANET LCG-300 series (LCG-300W). It is ideal for large-scale deployment of IoT applications, such as building automation projects, smart metering, HVAC systems, etc. Thanks to multiple interfaces, this LoRaWAN controller can perfectly help modernize legacy assets into IoT-enabled form.

LoRa is one of the wireless network protocols used in the Internet of Things – IoT world.
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is another low-power wireless network protocol designed for affordable and secure bidirectional communication in the Internet of Things. It uses sub-1 GHz band and the transmission speed is from 0.3 kb/s to 50 kb/s.
Communication between end devices and gateways is distributed across different frequency bands and transmission rates. The choice of data rate is a compromise between communication range and message length. Individual communication streams with different transmission rates do not interfere with each other (due to spread spectrum technology) and create a set of "virtual" channels to increase gateway capacity.
To maximize end device battery life and overall network capacity, the LoRaWAN network server manages the data rate and RF output for each end device individually, through an Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) system.

LoRaWAN distinguishes several device classes:
Class A – end devices support bidirectional communication (each uplink is followed by two receive windows)
Class B – in addition to the "forced" downlink of Class A, devices of this class open additional receive windows at scheduled times
Class C – receive windows are open almost continuously and close only during transmission
