LM100 | LC144 AIDO

The LM100/LC144-AIDO utilizes the latest Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technology to establish Modbus/RTU communication for long-distance, wide-coverage, and low-power wireless IoT applications. The LC144-AIDO supports multiple analog input and output types, including voltage and current measuring, Hi/ Low logical sensing, Dry Relay output, Transistor On/Off and one RS-485 port for Modbus RTU slave communication. A single LM100 RS-485 Modbus RTU master can connect up to 250 LC144-AIDO LoRa end nodes for two-way communication, enabling field analog signals to be transmitted from LC144-AIDO devices and controlled centrally by LM100. The LoRa wireless range can reach 3–6 km, depending on the environment. The LM100/LC144-AIDO offers excellent flexibility for various wireless IoT applications, such as environmental sensing, and meter reading for Smart City deployments including smart lighting, smart farming, and environmental monitoring.
