Build remote monitoring and control systems around a single DIN-rail RTU for EU868 LoRaWAN networks. This 868MHz control terminal is designed for industrial IoT, smart agriculture, building automation and environmental monitoring where long-range wireless telemetry and local device control are needed.
It brings data acquisition, logic processing and actuation into one enclosure. Field devices can connect via RS485 Modbus RTU, a 0-10V analogue input, two optocoupler-isolated digital inputs and a normally open relay output for switching actuators such as pumps, valves, alarms or lighting.
Local rules can be configured through a visual interface so the unit can keep running preset logic even if the LoRaWAN network connection is lost. It is intended for use with private LoRaWAN gateways or public networks such as The Things Network (TTN), and DFRobot provides a product wiki for configuration support.
Features:
- Stable Long-Range Communication: Standard LoRaWAN connectivity for private gateways and public infrastructure such as The Things Network (TTN).
- 868MHz operation: Suitable for Europe and other ITU Region 1 areas.
- Open-environment range: Transmission ranges reaching up to 4km in open environments.
- Collection: RS485 interface for Modbus RTU sensors, 0-10V analogue input and two optocoupler-isolated digital inputs.
- Control: Built-in Relay Output (24VDC/220VAC 3A) for switching pumps, valves, alarms or lighting systems.
- Edge Logic and Offline Autonomy: Preset local logic rules through a visual configuration interface, such as moisture-based relay control.
- Offline operation: Continues executing preset logic commands if the LoRaWAN network connection is lost.
- Seamless Integration with RS485 Sensors: Pre-validated with a wide range of DFRobot industrial RS485 sensors.
- Smart Agriculture: Supports systems using soil temperature and moisture, EC, pH and NPK sensors.
- Weather Monitoring: Supports ultrasonic weather stations, wind speed/direction and rain gauge monitoring.
- Water Quality: Supports dissolved oxygen sensors for freshwater/seawater applications.
- Environmental: Supports solar radiation, UV and ambient light sensors.
- DIN-rail mountable: Designed as a DIN-rail mountable unit for field installations.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DIN
- DIN means data in, the pin where this display receives data from the controller. Connecting DIN to the correct SPI data output pin is needed for the screen to receive pixel and command information.
- DIN rail
- DIN rail is a standard metal mounting rail used inside industrial electrical cabinets. DIN rail mounting matters because it lets the controller be installed neatly alongside power supplies, relays, and other automation hardware.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- Modbus
- Modbus is an industrial communication protocol used by many meters, sensors, PLCs, and automation devices. Modbus support matters because it can make the controller easier to integrate with existing industrial equipment.
- Modbus RTU
- Modbus RTU is a version of Modbus commonly used over RS485 serial wiring. It matters if you need to connect the controller to industrial sensors, meters, or drives that use serial Modbus rather than Ethernet.
- pH
- A measure of how acidic or alkaline a liquid is, on a scale where 7 is neutral. For a water monitoring kit, pH tells you about water chemistry and whether the included probe matches the range and accuracy your project needs.
- RS485
- RS485 is a robust wired serial communication standard often used in factories, farms, and buildings where cables may be long or electrically noisy. It matters because it lets this controller connect to industrial sensors, meters, and control equipment over longer distances than typical hobby serial wiring.
