LP-C01 Industrial Wireless Switch

The LP-C01 Module is an encrypted wireless “LoRa” communication receiver unit that can communicate with up to 128 LP-M01 remote Input Modules. The LP-C01 converts encrypted LoRa status information from LP-M01 modules to Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU via its RJ45 Ethernet and serial EIA-485 ports for any SCADA or Control System client.

LP-C01 LoRa wireless technology implements secure 128-bit encryption with embedded alarm signals that can be monitored and alarmed via the Modbus client. With a very low power consumption and a wireless communication range between an LP-C01 and an LP-M01 of up to 1 mile, it would significantly reduce material, design, and labor costs when compared to a traditional hard-wired solution.

Product Details

Features and Benefits

Flexible Monitoring Application

Without the need for new cables, digging trenches, oradding conduit. The encrypted communications provide a secure and reliable communication.

High Dependability

Debounce support in both software and hardware. Communications monitoring will alarm for low battery, interrupted communication, or any device malfunction. Rugged case suitable for tough environments.

Easy Integration

The LP-M03 and LP-C01 work together using the Modbus TCP/RTU protocol to extend the monitoring and control capabilities of remote l/O for PLC /Automation controllers.

Improved Safety & Data Transfer Reliability

Secured and encrypted wireless communications. Replace control wiring to outside cabinets with wireless antenna, eliminating unnecessary outages or the need to gothrough existing paths with dangerous voltage levels.

Savings on Capital Cost Investments

Reduce project costs and time using wireless communication instead of traditional wired applications. No trench, conduit, or raceway requirements, less laborfor design, documentation, installation, testing andmaintenance.

Transfer Switch System

Create a wireless version of pilot signals for any remote monitoring and control. The transfer switch system at M01+ reads an input and with the M03 module it quickly asserts the designated output to emulate, mirror, or momentary pulse.

LoRa Wireless Transmission Mode

The LP-C01 wirelessly controls LP-M01/2/3/4 modules via Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU for any SCADA or Control System client. Each LP-C01 will support up to 128 LP-M01/2/3/4 Modules.

LP-C01 can be configured in transparent mode, where one C01 is the Master, and the other C01 controllers are Slaves connected to RTU or PLC.
