1 Overview

The LM LoRa Master Controller and LC LoRa End-Node utilizes the latest Low Power Wide Area

(LPWA) technology to build Modbus/RTU communication for long-distance, wide-coverage, and low

power consumption wireless IoT applications.

Multiple analog inputs and outputs are supported in AP144-LC, such as voltage inputs and outputs,

current inputs and outputs, PWM output and one RS-485 port for Modbus RTU slave. One AP100-

LM RS485 Modbus RTU can connect to 250pcs AP144-LC LoRa end nodes for two-way

communications where field site analog signals are sent from AP144-LC and controlled by AP100-

LM.

The AP140-LR support LoRaWAN protocol, and also utilizes LPWA technology to build one-way, long-

distance communication coverage with LoRa WAN Cloud Gateway for filed RS-485 RTU slave device

connect with IoT Cloud Service.

Although the radio transmission technology is same, the AP100-LM, AP200-LMand AP144-LC are

utilized proprietary protocol based on LoRa MAC and different with AP140-LR standard LoRa WAN

protocol.

The LoRa wireless distance can reach up to 3-6KM distance depending on the environment.

The AP100-LM/AP144-LC offers great flexibility in wireless IoT applications, such as LED light control,

environment sensors and meters reading for Smart City Applications such as Lighting, Smart Farming,

Smart Environment Monitor, etc.

4 Hardware Installation

4.1 DIN Rail Installation

The AP100-LM/AP200-LM, AP144-LC and AP140-LR support DIN Rail installation, insert the upper

end of the DIN-Rail clip into the back of the DIN-Rail track from its upper side and lightly push the

bottom of the DIN-Rail clip into the track. The DIN Rail should comply with DIN EN50022 standard.

Using wrong DIN rail may cause unsafe installation.

4.2 Power Wiring

The system power input range supports DC 10~30V. It is recommended apply AC/DC Switching type

power supply with DC 24V/1.5A output for the main power source.

The Following diagram shows how to wiring the power system from AC/DC Switching Power Supply

During the power wiring, please turn-off the AC power input, and make sure the Earth Ground is

well connected with Switching Power Supply module, LoRa Device and Earth Grounding System for

noise immunity.

4.3 Analog Input Wiring

The AP144-LC and AP140-LR support 2 Types of Analog Input, 4~20mA and 0~10V with 3‰ accuracy.

The Analog Input function is available for AP144-LC and AP140-LR. About the definition of channel

type, please refer to Table 3-1, Chapter-3.

Both of AP144-LC and AP140-LR adopted 12bits A/D converter with 3‰ accuracy for the industrial
