enginko MCF-LW06CNT LoRaWAN Interface

DESCRIPTION

MCF-LW06CNT is a LoRaWAN™ interface with one optoisolated digital input that can be used to count pulses or to measure a frequency, up to 2KHz, from 5V to 36V. This allows to read any devices with pulse output interface or measure frequency or speed, like a tachometer.

MCF-LW06CNT is available with DIN rail option as follow:

CONNECTION OF THE DEVICE

Connection as stand-alone device:

Power can also be supplied by USB.

Connection with DIN rail option:

Input:

Power supply:

Input characteristics:

Dip switches:

• dip1 ON/OFF = hardware filter 100Hz/1KHz
• dip2 ON/OFF = Internal polarization to 5V
• dip3 ON/OFF = Internal polarization to 3V

Avoid dip2 and dip3 ON at the same time.

LORAWAN™ ACTIVATION

The device supports the following activations on a LoRaWAN ™ network:

• NONE: sensor not activated
• OTAA: needs settings of appkey and appEUI
• OTAA MCF88: Over the air activation according to mcf88 specifications
• ABP: needs settings of NwkSkey, AppSkey, DevAddr

The device exits factory activated with NONE mode. The devEUI of the device is shown on the product label. MCF-LW06CNT is a Class A LoRaWAN ™ device.

DEVICE CONFIGURATION

The activation parameters and the device settings can be read and modified via USB using the appropriate “LoRaWEB” desktop application (https://iot.mcf88.cloud/LoRaWeb/#/configuration):

INSTALLATION

• The magnetic antenna must be positioned on a metal body. It should preferably be vertical and at least 30 cm away from other metal bodies.
• The installation must take place in a place where the LoRaWAN ™ signal coverage is good (SF=7 optimal, SF=12 weak).
• Use the provided clip to hold the antenna connector in place, as in the pictures:
