RAK Wireless WisBlock 4-20mA Interface Module
Overview
The RAK5801 is a WisBlock interface that expands the WisBlock system with two current measurement inputs. The current is converted into a voltage that can be read by the analog input pins of the WisBlock Core module. A ready-to-use SW library and tutorial make it easy to connect any sensor that uses a 4-20mA current output.
The RAK5801 supports two 4-20mA interfaces and has a 12V power output to power sensors. In addition, an I2C interface connection is available on the crimp terminal.
In combination with the RAK4631 WisBlock Core, RAK5801 provides your solution with an interface to industrial sensors and actuators that support the 4-20mA interface. This module is the bridge between such sensors and LoRaWan® communication, LoRa® point-to-point connections or BLE.
The RAK5801 is ideal for battery-powered applications because of its low power consumption. In addition, the WisBlock system allows the module to be switched off completely to further reduce the system's power consumption.
