ATOM DTU NB

SKU:K059

Description

ATOM DTU NB is a programmable data transmission unit (DTU) that integrates NB-IoT communication functions. The built-in SIM7020G module covers most of the Cat-NB frequency bands and integrates the SMA external antenna interface to improve the communication quality and signal stability of the device. Unlike the DTU, which generally only has the function of data transparent transmission, the ATOM DTU series adopts a more open architecture design. The controller ATOM LITE can modify the program at will according to the actual business, and the whole machine reserves a variety of interfaces (RS485, I2C, custom interface) for users to expand, which is convenient for the rapid access of sensors and actuators. The self-contained guide rail clamping structure is perfectly embedded in various industrial control sites. ATOM DTU NB is very suitable for various low-latency, low-throughput application scenarios (such as remote control, asset tracking, remote monitoring, remote medical treatment, shared bicycles, etc.).

MQTT

MQTT connect server port client id username password keep alive

  • Configure MQTT client information and start the connection.

MQTT disconnect

  • Disconnect MQTT connection

MQTT subscribe topic QoS

  • Subscribe to the topic and configure the QoS level, return value: True (subscription success)/False (subscription failure)

MQTT subscribe callback topic msg

  • Subscription message callback function, when a new subscription message is received, this function will be automatically called and the topic name and data content will be passed

MQTT unsubscribe topic

RS485

RS485 write a line

  • Write a row of data to the RS485 bus

RS485 write

  • Write data to RS485 bus

RS485 write raw data create list with

  • Write raw data in the form of a list, the default input is decimal, if you need to input hexadecimal data, you need to add 0x prefix, such as 0xff.

RS485 read all

  • Read all data in the serial port buffer

RS485 read characters

  • Read N Byte

RS485 read line

  • Read a line of data in the serial port buffer
