RAK Wireless WisBlock 4-20mA Interface Module

overview

The RAK5801 is a WisBlock interface that extends the WisBlock system with two current measurement inputs. The current is converted to 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 connector is available on the crimp terminal.

Combined 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 due to its low power consumption. In addition, the WisBlock system allows the module to be switched off completely to further reduce system power consumption.
