RS485W-CS - Solar Powered RS485-Modbus/UART to NB-IoT/LTE-M Converter
Product description
The Dragino RS485W-CS is a RS485/UART to NB-IoT/LTE-M Converter for Internet of Things solutions. User can connect RS485 or UART sensor to RS485W-CS converter, and configure RS485W-CS to periodically read sensor data and upload via NB-IoT or LTE-M network to IoT server.
RS485W-CS can interface to RS485-Modbus sensors, 3.3v/5v/12v UART sensor or interrupt sensor. RS485W-CS provides a 3.3v output, a 5v output and a 12v output to power external sensors. These output voltages are controllable to minimize the total system power consumption.
You can use various IoT Servers and different uplink methods including MQTT, MQTTs, UDP, TCP and CoAP.
The sensor node uses Quectel BG95-NGFF Multi-band LTE Cat M1/Cat NB2 module with GPS which can be used in most European countries. It has a card slot for an NB-IoT/LTE-M SIM card.
This device supports BLE for easy configuration and wireless OTA to update the firmware.
RS485W-CS is powered by a rechargeable battery and a solar cell for continuous use. It has an external antenna and an IP66 enclosure with a waterproof M12 cable hole for an external sensor.
