1. Product Introduction 1.1 Overview UC300 is an IoT controller used for remote control and data acquisition from multiple sensors. It contains different I/O interfaces such as analog inputs, digital inputs, relay outputs, serial ports and so on, which support remote device data transmission and control via LoRaWAN®, 3G/4G networks or SMS. Besides, UC300 supports multiple trigger conditions and actions which works autonomously even when the network drops. 1.

Digital Input Is continued for: the DI changed status should last for some time. Set lockout time: after the lockout time, UC300 will detect if DI status matches the condition.
Counter When pulse counter reaches a specific value. This only works when DI works as counter mode. When the value reaches any threshold. Is continued for: the analog value should last for some time. Channel/4-20m A/0-10V/PT100 Set lockout time: after the lockout time, UC300 device will detect if analog value matches the condition. 0 means this IF condition will only be detected once.
via SMS 4.5 LoRa D2D Settings (LoRaWAN Version Only) LoRa D2D protocol is developed by Milesight and used for setting up transmission among Milesight devices without gateway. When the LoRa D2D setting is enabled, UC300 can work as a LoRa D2D controller to send control commands to other devices or work as a LoRa D2D agent to receive commands to trigger the DO or RS485 devices. 1.
the LoRa D2D agent device. The command should be a 2-byte hexadecimal number. When UC300 receives a LoRa D2D command, it can work as a LoRa D2D agent to trigger the DO or send Modbus command to RS485 terminal devices.
Note: When this feature is enabled and the command is triggered, the device will not send data to LoRaWAN® network server. 4.6 Maintenance 4.6.1 Upgrade UC300 supports upgrade locally via ToolBox software. 1. Download firmware from www.milesight-iot.com to your PC. 2. Go to “Maintenance -> Upgrade”, click “Browse” to import firmware and upgrade the device.
