WisNode Bridge Serial
CH-7431
The CH-7431 is a bi-directional RS485 to LoRaWAN bridge. As a LoRaWAN end-node it is ready to be connected to a LoRaWAN gateway like the CH-7249.
Modular Components
The CH-7431 is built with WisBlock modules. This enables future extension or hardware upgrades with a simple plug-and-play technology.
WisBlock Components:
- WisBlock Base RAK5005 – base board
- WisBlock Core RAK4201- low-power STM32L071 MCU
and SX1272 LoRa transceiver - WisBlock IO RAK5802 – RS485 Modbus to LoRa bridge
Peripheral and Power Supply Connectors
Reliable screw terminal interface makes it simple to connect the power supply and the RS485 devices to the CH-7431.
For the devices set-up a computer can be connectecd throught the standard USB Micro connector.
Durable Enclosure
The RS485 bridge comes in an industrial-grade IP31 enclosure. Several mounting points give flexibility when deploying the modules.
