Feature-rich Sensor Hub for Connecting Sensors
PLANET LN501 is an outdoor LoRa node controller used for data acquisition from multiple sensors. It contains different I/O interfaces such as analog inputs, digital inputs, digital outputs, serial ports and so on to simplify the deployment and replacement of LoRaWAN networks. The LN501 can be easily and quickly configured by NFC or wired USB port. For outdoor applications, it provides solar or built-in battery power supply and is equipped with IP67-rated enclosure and M12 connectors to protect itself from water and dust in harsh environments.
LoRaWAN-based Controller with Rich Industrial Interfaces
The LN501 is LoRaWAN compatible and is with built-in multiple industrial interfaces to connect to all types of sensors, meters and other appliances. It also bridges Modbus data between serial and Ethernet network via LoRaWAN. The LN501 supports LoRaWAN class A and C protocol to be in full compatibility with standard LoRaWAN gateways including PLANET LCG-300 series.
The LN501 is ideal for large-scale IoT application deployments, such as projects for building automation, smart metering, HVAC system, etc. With multiple interfaces, PLANET LN501 can perfectly help retrofit legacy assets into IoT enablement.
