Product catalog summary

Preface
The document addresses the challenges faced by system integrators in wireless integration of field devices due to differing protocols and the complexities of sensor deployment in older buildings. Aecl offers a solution with devices using LoRa Modbus RTU communication for optimal wireless integration.

Introduction
LoRa Modbus RTU communication utilizes Semtech RF technology for long-range, interference-resistant communication. It supports the Modbus RTU protocol, facilitating integration with existing devices. This technology is applied in smart buildings, logistics, and agriculture for cost-effective, long-range, low-data transmission solutions.

Main Applications
A. Wireless Air Quality Monitoring
Deploying a private LoRa network for indoor air quality monitoring requires Aecl LoRa sensors and the AUS-401 LoRa gateway. The system allows real-time data access in Modbus RTU format.
B. Wireless Device Control
Aecl's smart plug enables wireless automation control via the AUS-401 gateway, allowing users to manage devices like ventilation fans based on air quality data.
C. Wireless Integration of Existing Facilities
The AUS-405 RS485/RS232 to LoRa converter integrates existing devices into the IoT network, simplifying field device integration and reducing costs.

Aecl LoRa Devices
The document lists various Aecl LoRa devices, including the AUS-401 LoRa Master Gateway, AUS-405 RS485/RS232 to LoRa Converter, and a range of transmitters for measuring air quality parameters like CO2, PM2.5, temperature, humidity, and more. Each device is designed for specific wireless measurement and control applications.

I. Preface When it comes to the wireless integration of field devices, most system integrators will encounter the challenge of different protocols between facilities and systems. Besides, in the renovation case of the old building, the fixed distribution of pipes and cables makes the sensor deployment more complex and increases the installation cost as well. With regard to these difficulties, Aecl develops the devices with the LoRa Modbus RTU communication to provide an optimal wireless solution. II. Introduction The LoRa Modbus RTU communication is based on Semtech RF technology which features...

AUS-401 Gateway The AUS-401 master gateway is able to wirelessly collect the data from maximum 32 units of Aecl air quality transmitters and send the data via RS485 or RS232 interface to the system or PLC. The data format is in standard industrial protocol Modbus RTU. || Features of LoRa Modbus RTU communication || LoRa Communication distance: 2~5 KM. (The communication length is for outdoor open space and would be varied based on the length of the antenna and the application environment.) The data is fully encrypted with high security. The LoRa signal strength could be directly checked by user’s...

Figure 2: Instructure of LoRa control C. Wireless integration of the existing facilities To provide a more convenient way to integrate the existing devices to the IoT network, Aecl designs the AUS-405 RS485/ RS232 to LoRa converter as the media for integrating the existing devices such as flow meter, electric meter, water meter and etc. As shown in Fig. 3, the AUS-405 converter is able to collect the data from the existing facilities via RS485 or RS232 interface and send the data to the AUS-401 master gateway via wireless LoRa communication. Each AUS-405 could connect with 32 units of facilities....
