TYNESS-MODULAR-LORAWAN

TyNess system main board for connecting up to 2 additional cards. Compatible LoRa® and LoRaWAN™.
Operating with external power supply or an external battery pack.

TYNESS-MODULAR-4G

Same as the above version, with the 4G module providing direct communication with a WEB platform (e.g. ewattchcloud.fr or a third party platform) without using a gateway.
The integrated LoRa® module also allows it to play the role of a hub and to communicate with up to 20 LoRa® wireless sensors from the Swatch product line.

Mounting options

Fixing magnet

The TYNESS-FIX-AIMANT kit contains 2 round magnets, two solid metal washers and 2 fixing bolts (Torx T8 imprint).

It makes it possible to fix the TYNESS on every on any magnetic surface or, for the non-magnetic surfaces, on the washers provided. In this specific case, the washers must be fixed to the surface (for example, using a double-sided adhesive).

Installation :

1. Remove the solid washers from the magnet by sliding them sideways
2. Position the magnets in the slots provided for this purpose on the back of the case. The face containing the entry cone must be visible.
3. Insert the screw into the magnet and screw.
4. To use the metal washers, place them on the magnets, add the adhesive on them and position the Tyness case. Once the adhesive holds, remove the case.

DIN rail mounting

The TYNESS-FIX-RAIL contains 2 parts: a base and a movable and adjustable strip.
It is used to fix the Tyness horizontally or vertically on a DIN rail. On horizontal position, it allows to position the Tyness at two heights per position.

The Tyness can be removed from the DIN rail by manipulating the movable strip with a classic screw-driver.
The TYNESS-FIX-RAIL comes with 2 mounting screws

Installation :

1. Place the support in the chosen position (horizontal or vertical) and at the required height
2. If needed, adjust the strip height
3. Screw the 2 screws.

Strip setting :

Depending on the positioning of the FIX-RAIL, the strip must be adjusted to remain accessible.

If the upper part of the strip protrudes from the TYNESS (for example with a TYNESS in a low position), it can be cut off using cutting pliers.

Power mode

The Tyness can be powered using one several different modes:
– External power using a power pack (see TYNESS-ALIM-BLOC-5V) or a DIN rail power supply (see ALIM-RAIL-5V)
– Option : External case containing a 3.6V lithium battery operation, refer to the battery icon next to the extension boards in the product catalog. (see TYNESS-OPT-PACK-PILE)

Warning : not all extension boards are compatible with the use of a battery as power supply. Refer to each extension board documentation.

External power supply

The power supply voltage must deliver 5V DC and provide a minimum current of 1A, or 2.5A if using the Tyness with the 4G option
It is very important to respect the polarity indicated on the printed circuit when connecting the power supply.

Power wiring example

TYNESS-OPT-PACK-PILE :
External case containing a 3.6V lithium battery – 19Ah.
The option includes sensor adaptation for battery operation.
Batteries are available at the link below for supply:
https://www.tme.eu/fr/en/details/eve-er14505_s/batteries/eve-battery-co/eve-er14505-std-3-6v-2-7ah/

TYNESS-OPT-ANT-EXT :
Each TYNESS reference is available on request with an external antenna connector (ANTMAGNSUP).
Antenna not supplied.

TYNESS-OPT-WATERPROOF :

Each TYNESS reference is available on request with a waterproof case.

The TYNESS-FIX-RAIL periodically sends its sensor measurements via a LoRaWAN™ radio link.
In order to configure the Tyness sensor on a LoRaWAN™ network, you must have the unique EUID identification code, indicated on each product, as well as the two AppEUI and AppKey codes supplied with the sensors at the time they were ordered.

You can also find all the keys and identifiers using the TyNess configuration software. See “CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE“.

Various communication parameters can also be modified using the configuration software, such as ADR validation, or the periodic reJOIN procedure.

Payloads descriptions

The Tyness sensor transmits its data in raw format on different public and private LoRaWAN™ networks.
The following section explains how to decode these received frames (PayLoad)

Periodic frames

The periodic frames contain the data measured by the Tyness sensor.

Example of a periodic transmitted frame (HEXADECIMAL):

Explanation of the frame structure :

Periodic frames (continued)

The frame described above can also be transmitted in 2 batches, if the channels are not synchronized.
This gives the following frames:

About the Object Type byte:

The object Type byte indicates the type of measurement performed by the sensor (see following table). It also contains 2 bits providing additional information:

Table of Object Type bytes:

Sample frame with channels and errors

The following frame comes from a TyNess with a rogowski card on socket 0 and a PT100 card on socket 1, and only one PT100 probe connected on channel 2:

Status frame

The status frames contain additional information about the sensors (battery level, firmware version, etc.)
