MaxLong Technology SLC485-S Lora Converter

Product Information

Specifications

  • Communication technology: LoRa 862~932 MHz pass through mode or Modbus (non-LoRa WAN protocol)
  • Transmission mode: Multi-end points form a broadcast network according to the frequency band, and only one end point can send signals at a time (similar to the traditional Walkie-talkie design), only suitable for one Master+n Slaves applications.
  • Communication Flow: Maximum load 255 bytes per packet data.
  • Converter conversion Interface: RS232/485.
  • Measured communication distance: height 100cm measured 2 km at both ends, transmission success rate is about 90%.

Product Usage Instructions

Installation

  1. Choose a suitable location for the SLC485-S converter.
  2. Ensure that the power supply is within the specified voltage range (+5~24VDC).
  3. Connect the RS232/RS485 devices to the appropriate interfaces on the converter.
  4. If using the Micro USB power source, connect the Micro USB cable to the converter.
  5. Securely mount the SLC485-S converter in its designated location.

Configuration

  1. Ensure that the power supply is connected and turned on.
  2. Access the SLC485-S configuration interface through a web browser on a connected device.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the desired settings, such as communication mode and baud rate.
  4. Save the configuration changes and restart the converter if prompted.

Operation

The SLC485-S converter operates automatically once it is installed and configured.

Maintenance

To maintain the SLC485-S converter, follow these steps:

  1. Regularly inspect the converter for any physical damage or loose connections.
  2. Clean the converter using a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris.
  3. If any issues arise, refer to the user manual for troubleshooting steps or contact technical support for assistance.

Antenna

The SLC485-S converter is available in both indoor and outdoor models. Complete indoor and outdoor antennas are provided with the converter.

Communication Flow

The SLC485-S converter supports a maximum load of 255 bytes per packet data. It converts the communication interface from RS232 to RS485 or vice versa.

Communication Technology

The SLC485-S converter supports LoRa 862~932 MHz pass-through mode or Modbus (non-LoRa WAN protocol) communication technology.

FAQ

Q: What is the maximum communication distance of the SLC485-S converter?

A: The SLC485-S converter can achieve a communication distance of up to 2 km at both ends when the height is 100cm. However, the transmission success rate is approximately 90%.

Q: Can the SLC485-S converter be used for multiple endpoints?

A: Yes, the SLC485-S converter can form a broadcast network with multiple endpoints. However, only one endpoint can send signals at a time, making it suitable for one Master+n Slaves applications.
