How It Works
The UCT LoRaWAN I/O Controller connects field devices and industrial control equipment to a LoRaWAN network. Input signals from sensors, switches, or equipment are collected by the controller, while output commands can be sent to operate connected relays, pumps, valves, or other compatible devices.
The collected data is transmitted through a LoRaWAN Gateway to the selected LoRaWAN Network Server and IoT platform, where users can monitor device status, configure alerts, analyze data, and execute remote control commands.
Multi-I/O Connectivity
Supports digital inputs and outputs for flexible monitoring and control of industrial field devices.
Remote Monitoring & Control
Monitor device status and remotely command connected relays, valves, motors, or other compatible devices.
Bidirectional Communication
Supports both uplink and downlink communication for monitoring and control.
Seamless IoT Integration
Easily integrates with LoRaWAN network servers, IoT platforms, SCADA, and analytics tools.
Industrial-Grade Design
Designed for reliable operation in demanding industrial and outdoor environments.
Count Every Pulse. Monitor Every Event.
Built-in Digital Input Counter for Smart Monitoring & Automation
UCT 4DI 4DO LoRaWAN Converter can use its digital inputs to capture and count pulse-based signals from connected field devices. Count events locally at the device, transmit the accumulated data over LoRaWAN, and monitor the values remotely through IoT platform or dashboard.
Accurate Pulse Counting
Capture digital pulses from meters, sensors, and machines for reliable event and consumption monitoring.
Accumulated Count
Maintain cumulative counts to track total usage, production cycles, machine events, or other repetitive operations.
Remote Data Transmission
Send counter data wirelessly through LoRaWAN for long-range monitoring without extensive communication cabling.
Smart Monitoring & Analytics
Visualize counter values, trends, and historical data through the connected IoT platform or dashboard.
OUTPUT CONTROL
Control Remotely. Automate Instantly.
The 4 digital outputs enable remote relay control through the IoT platform, allowing connected equipment and devices to be switched or automated based on counts and events.
Control Actions
Remote ON / OFF
Control connected devices remotely from any location via the cloud platform.
Counter-Based Control
Trigger output actions automatically based on specific count values or input events.
