1.2 Overview
Feature-rich Sensor Hub for Connecting Sensors
PLANET LN501 and LN1152 are LoRa node controllers used for data acquisition from multiple sensors.
They contain different I/O interfaces such as analog inputs, digital inputs, digital outputs, serial ports
and so on to simplify the deployment and replacement of LoRaWAN networks.
 LN501: It can be easily and quickly configured by NFC or wired USB port. For outdoor applications,
it provides solar or built-in battery power supply and is equipped with IP67-rated enclosure and
M12 connectors to protect itself from water and dust in harsh environments.
 LN1152: It can trigger multiple conditions and actions without a network. With its industrial design
and IP30 metal case, the LN1152 is widely used in indoor applications like smart industries,
building automation, etc.
LoRaWAN-based Controller with Rich Industrial Interfaces
The LoRa Node Controller with built-in multiple industrial interfaces connects to all types of sensors,
meters and other appliances. It also bridges Modbus data between serial and Ethernet network via
LoRaWAN. The LN501 and LN1152 support LoRaWAN class C protocol to be in full compatibility with
standard LoRaWAN gateways including PLANET LCG-300 series. It is ideal for large-scale IoT
application deployments, such as projects for building automation, smart metering, HVAC system, etc.
With multiple interfaces, LoRaWAN Controller can perfectly help retrofit legacy assets into IoT
enablement.
