WisBlock 4-20mA Interface Module (RAK5801)

Product Description

RAK5801 is a WisBlock IO which extends 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 makes it easy to connect any sensor that is using a 4-20mA current output.

RAK5801 supports two 4-20mA interfaces and has a 12V power output to supply sensors. In addition, an I2C interface connection is available on the crimping terminal.

RAK5801 combined with the RAK4631 WisBlock Core gives your solution an interface to industrial sensors and actuators that supports the 4-20mA interface. This module is the bridge between such sensors and LoRaWan® communication, LoRa® point to point connections or BLE.

RAK5801 is ideal for battery-powered applications because of its low power consumption. In addition, the WisBlock system allows to power down the module complete to reduce the power consumption of the system even more.
