1. Overview ​

Y503-2220-L connects digital signals, analog sensors, and RS485 equipment to a LoRaWAN network. It provides two digital inputs, two switched voltage outputs, and two analog inputs: one 0–10 V input and one 4–20 mA input.

The RTU sends data through a LoRaWAN gateway to a local or remote Network Server and application. It supports OTAA or ABP activation and Class A or Class C operation.

2. Model and Signal Configuration ​

The four digits in Y503-2220-L represent DI / DO / AI / AO channel counts: 2 / 2 / 2 / 0. The third digit counts the dedicated AV and AI inputs together; the final 0 indicates no analog output.

SignalQuantityFunction
DI1, DI22Dry-contact or powered digital input, up to DC 28 V
DO1, DO22Switched voltage outputs; on-state voltage follows the RTU supply
AV10–10 V measurement
AI14–20 mA measurement
AO0No analog output

AV and AI are separate, fixed-function terminals. The product does not provide two selectable voltage/current inputs. DO1 and DO2 supply switched voltage; they are not voltage-free relay contacts or analog outputs.

3. Key Features ​

  • Reports digital states, voltage, current, and RS485 data through LoRaWAN.
  • Supports periodic acquisition, heartbeat reporting, and input/output state-change reporting.
  • Supports RS485 polling tasks and transparent serial transport, including Modbus RTU data.
  • Supports remote output commands, timed control, and pulse output on compatible firmware.
  • Supports local input-to-output rules and remote parameter configuration on compatible firmware.
  • Provides isolated RS485 with built-in 15 kV ESD protection.

Confirm the configuration tool, payload definition, and control behavior for the delivered firmware before enabling timed, pulse, or local-rule functions.

4. Technical Specifications ​

4.1 LoRaWAN Radio ​

ParameterSpecification
ProtocolLoRaWAN 1.0.3
ActivationOTAA / ABP
Device classesClass A / Class C
Frequency plansEU433, CN470, EU868, AU915, US915, AS923
Transmit power-1 to 22 dBm, subject to the regional configuration
Bandwidth125 kHz
Spreading factorSF7–SF12
Nominal radio data ratesApproximately 5.5 / 3.1 / 1.8 / 1.0 / 0.6 / 0.3 kbps
Receiver sensitivity-135 dBm at SF12, 125 kHz bandwidth

Specify the AS923 sub-plan when ordering. Nominal radio data rate is not application throughput; airtime, payload size, reporting interval, retries, and regional limits determine usable capacity.

4.2 Digital Inputs and Outputs ​

ParameterSpecification
DI count2, with a shared COM terminal
DI signal typesDry contact and powered contact; NPN/PNP wiring depends on the COM connection
Maximum DI voltageDC 28 V
DO count2 switched voltage outputs
DO on-state voltageFollows the applied RTU supply voltage
DO current limit1 A stated maximum; confirm the per-channel and combined limit for the intended load
Adapter requirementUse a 2 A adapter when the connected output load exceeds 200 mA

The available rating does not establish that both outputs can supply 1 A simultaneously. Size the supply for the RTU and combined load, including starting current. Use an interposing device where the load exceeds the confirmed output rating, and suppress inductive transients.

4.3 Analog Inputs ​

ParameterAV terminalAI terminal
Channel count11
Input range0–10 V4–20 mA
Stated maximum input10.7 V22 mA
Accuracy±0.5% of full scale±0.5% of full scale
Resolution0.001 V0.001 mA

Use each terminal only for its specified signal. The stated maximum is not a normal operating target. Resolution describes the reported step size, not measurement accuracy.

4.4 RS485 ​

ParameterSpecification
Interface1 isolated RS485, A/B
ESD protection15 kV
Baud rates1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 bps
Data / stop bits8 / 1 or 2
ParityNone, odd, or even
Initial serial setting9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
OperationScheduled polling and transparent transport, as configured

Match the equipment's serial settings, protocol, address, and command format. Application decoding requires the correct payload definition and register map.

4.5 Power and Environment ​

ParameterSpecification
SupplyDC 9–28 V
Reference adapterDC 12 V / 1 A; use a larger supply where required by the output load
Stated maximum working current0.5 A for the RTU; budget controlled loads separately
Stated average power≤0.5 W; load and operating conditions affect total consumption
Operating temperature-40 to 85 °C
Storage temperature-50 to 95 °C

7. Deployment and Ordering ​

Field signals / RS485 equipment → Y503-2220-L → LoRaWAN gateway → Network Server → Application

A Y501-L or Y511-L gateway can provide the radio path when its regional plan and channels match the RTU. The Network Server can run remotely or on a gateway with the ordered local NS/AS option. It manages activation, sessions, and downlink scheduling; the application decodes measurements and creates commands.

Before ordering, specify:

  • Regional plan, channel group, and AS923 sub-plan where applicable.
  • Class A or Class C operation and the required reporting interval.
  • DI sensor type and COM wiring; DO load voltage, current, and starting current.
  • One voltage-input sensor and/or one current-input sensor.
  • RS485 protocol, baud rate, device addresses, and polling commands.
  • Firmware, configuration tool, uplink decoder, downlink command definition, and output behavior after startup or communication loss.

LoRaWAN downlinks have timing and capacity limits. Verify response time and output state with the actual installation before enabling unattended control.
