Description

The Dragino RS485-NB is an industrial-grade RS485/UART to NB-IoT Converter engineered to bridge the gap between traditional wired sensors and modern cellular IoT platforms. By providing a direct-to-cloud connection via NB-IoT, it eliminates the need for expensive local gateways. This converter is highly versatile, supporting RS485 Modbus, 3.3v/5v UART TTL, and interrupt sensors. Housed in a rugged IP67-rated enclosure and offering multiple high-capacity power options, it is a practical solution for remote industrial automation, smart agriculture, and utility monitoring.

Smart Power & Configuration

Efficient Sensor Power Features built-in 3.3v and 5v controllable outputs, allowing the device to power external sensors only during readings to maximize battery life.
Seamless Maintenance Supports Bluetooth (BLE) for effortless smartphone configuration and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates for remote firmware management.

Power Configuration Options

Available in three distinct power variants to meet your specific field longevity requirements:

  • Model NB: 8500mAh Non-Rechargeable battery for standard wireless operation.
  • Model NB2: 19000mAh Non-Rechargeable battery for maximum service intervals.
  • Model NS: 3000mAh Rechargeable Solar-powered battery for perpetual field use.

Professional Usage Scenarios

• Industrial Automation: Monitor PLC data and machine status from remote workshops without local network infrastructure.
• Smart City Utilities: Connect RS485-enabled water or energy meters to central management systems via cellular NB-IoT.
• Agriculture Tech: Interface with weather stations or soil moisture probes in remote fields where Wi-Fi or LoRaWAN are unavailable.
