Wireless Control Cabinet · Y953 LoRa System

LoRa Control for Distributed Equipment Cabinets

Y953 links a controller to one or more wireless control cabinets through LoRa. It is designed for greenhouses, aquaculture, pump stations and farmland where external networks are unavailable or control cables are difficult to install.

  • Independent LoRa link
  • Up to 10 km direct range in open conditions
  • One-to-many cabinet control
  • Repeaters available by project

The base system provides local LoRa control. Cross-site Internet access requires an additional uplink configuration.

System components

Y953 Controller, Wireless Cabinets and Optional Equipment

The controller and one or more wireless cabinets make the base system. Add repeaters or solar power when required by distance, obstacles or site power conditions.

The Y953T controller sends commands, summarizes circuit state and indicates communication status. The Y953 cabinet executes circuit control at the equipment site. The Y953B repeater forwards the LoRa signal. Solar power is available for sites without convenient mains power.

Model note: Y953-1-L is a one-circuit LoRa cabinet and Y953-4-L is a four-circuit LoRa cabinet. Controller, repeater and enclosure details are listed in the project documents.

How it works

Controller command, cabinet action and circuit indication.

The base loop runs between the controller, the LoRa link and the wireless cabinet. It does not require an external network or cloud platform.

02Independent LoRa linkTransmit across the site without 4G or Wi-Fi.

Circuit light

Connected circuit state

The corresponding controller light means the associated cabinet circuit is connected.

One-to-many

Aggregated indication

When several cabinets are connected, any cabinet with that circuit connected can light the same controller indicator.

Circuit indication

Load feedback requires additional monitoring

The indicator confirms the circuit state, not the actual operation of a pump, fan or other load.

Lost link

Keep state, keep local control

After a link loss, the cabinet keeps its previous circuit state and can still be operated locally.

Distance and relay

Direct and Repeater-Assisted LoRa Links

Direct transmission can reach up to 10 km in unobstructed conditions. Add one or more Y953B repeaters for long distances or hills, buildings and other obstacles. The site review determines the route, placement and expected coverage.

Solar power

Optional Solar Power for Sites Without Mains Supply

Y953 can be paired with a solar power system when mains power is unavailable or impractical.

Solar system design: PV power, battery capacity, autonomy and low-battery behavior are specified for the site load and operating conditions.

Suitable sites

Bring distributed equipment into one local wireless control path.

Y953 is for sites where control cables are difficult, external networks are unavailable or equipment is distributed. Loads, circuits and installation conditions are confirmed during selection.

01

Pump stations and farmland

The control point and pump station are far apart, and installing a long control cable is difficult.

02

Greenhouses and aquaculture

Multiple houses, barns or aquaculture units are distributed across a site and need one controller to coordinate one or more cabinets.

03

Mountainous or obstructed sites

Use a repeater when hills, buildings or other obstacles prevent a direct link.

04

Sites without convenient power

Review the solar power option when the equipment point does not have stable mains power.

Selection requirements

Distance, obstacles and load details determine the network.

Controller and cabinet locations, radio conditions, loads and power requirements determine the repeater and solar-power configuration.

01

Controller location

Where is the control point, and must one controller connect to multiple cabinets?

02

Straight-line distance

Measure the distance between the controller and the most remote cabinet.

03

Obstacles

Record hills, buildings, trees and terrain changes, along with possible repeater locations.

04

Cabinet count

List the number, distribution and circuit count of each wireless control cabinet.

05

Controlled loads

List pumps, fans, lighting, valves and other loads, including power and starting method.

06

Power conditions

Confirm power, antenna and mounting conditions for controllers, cabinets and repeaters.

07

Feedback requirement

Decide whether circuit-connection state is enough, or actual load operation must be verified.

08

Platform requirement

State whether cross-site phone management, history or cloud integration is required.

FAQ

External networks, range, repeaters and lost-link behavior.

Can Y953 work without 4G, Wi-Fi or wired Internet?

Yes. Y953 establishes an independent LoRa link between the controller and wireless cabinets. Basic control does not depend on 4G, Wi-Fi or wired Internet.

How far can LoRa transmit, and does 10 km apply to every site?

10 km is the maximum direct distance in an unobstructed environment, not an engineering coverage promise. Terrain, buildings, antennas, mounting height and interference determine the usable range, which should be confirmed by a site plan or communication test.

What if a hill or building blocks the path?

Add one or more Y953B repeaters at suitable positions to forward the LoRa signal. Quantity, placement and routing need a site-based plan.

Can multiple repeaters be used?

Yes. One or more Y953B repeaters can be used for long distances or multiple obstacles. The quantity, route and total coverage are confirmed for the site.

How many wireless cabinets can one controller operate?

One controller can operate one or more wireless cabinets. The practical cabinet count depends on the site layout, radio path and control requirements.

What does a circuit light on the controller mean?

It means that the corresponding circuit of an associated cabinet is connected. In a one-to-many system, any cabinet with that circuit connected can light the controller indicator. It does not prove that the load is actually running or identify a specific cabinet.

What happens after the LoRa link is lost?

The cabinet keeps its circuit state from before the link was lost. Staff can still switch circuits manually at the cabinet.

Is solar power standard?

No. The solar power system is an option for sites without convenient mains power. The supplied equipment and configuration are confirmed per project.

Does Y953 have to connect to a cloud platform?

No. Basic site control uses LoRa between the controller and cabinets. Cross-site phone management, history and cloud integration need a separate uplink configuration.

How is Y953 different from Y951?

Y953 uses a local LoRa link between a controller and cabinets and does not require Internet or cloud service for basic control. Y951 is designed for connected remote management through 4G, Wi-Fi or RJ45.
