Milesight IoT LoRaWAN controller UC501 - multi-regione, 2 DI, 2 DO, 2 AI, RS485

The Milesight IoT UC501 is a versatile LoRaWAN controller designed for industrial IoT applications. It supports multi-region frequency plans (EU868, US915, AU915, AS923) and offers Class A and Class C operation. With 2 digital inputs, 2 relay outputs, 2 analog inputs (0-10V/4-20mA), and an RS485 interface for Modbus RTU, it enables seamless integration of sensors and actuators. The controller features a USB Type-C configuration port, internal LoRaWAN antenna, and LED indicators for power, LoRaWAN status, and I/O status. Its rugged enclosure (PC+ABS) with IP30 rating and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) makes it suitable for harsh environments. Power input is 9-24 VDC with low power consumption (<1 W). Mounting options include wall and DIN rail. Certifications: CE, FCC, RoHS.

Advantages

Multi-region LoRaWAN support ensures global deployment flexibility. The combination of digital and analog I/O with RS485 allows connection to a wide range of field devices. Low power consumption and wide temperature range enable reliable operation in remote or outdoor locations. Easy configuration via USB Type-C and support for MQTT and Modbus RTU simplify system integration.
