Pro.HUB™

Rugged, Versatile Whisker.Hub™ for Industrial Applications

The Pro.Hub™ is designed for long-term, outdoor installations. It can be configured with multiple power options including 8-48V DC, 85-240V AC, and PoE: it can even be configured with internal batteries for solar powered applications.

Connectivity Options

This hub is designed to be very reliable, it can be configured with primary and secondary connections to the cloud (Ethernet, Cellular or WiFi). When two connections are configured, the hub will automatically failover to the secondary connection when the primary connection fails. If both connections are lost, the hub will buffer messages internally until the connection is restored.

Internal I/O

The Pro.Hub™ is perfect for automation applications because it can be configured with internal I/O including analog (0-10V, 4-20mA), opto-isolated digital input, O.C. digital output, ModbusTCP, Modbus RS-485 (RTU), and Canbus.

Specifications

Temperature: -20°C to +85 °C
Connectivity: Ethernet, Cellular or WiFi
Power Supply: 8-48V DC, 85-240V AC, Power over Ethernet, or Solar
Range: 1 mile (10 foot elevation), 5 miles (40 foot elevation), line of sight, open field
Analog I/O: Up to 4 analog inputs configured for 0-10V DC or 4-20mA
Digital I/O: Up to 2 opto-isolated digital inputs and (4) 50V, 3A O.C. digital outputs
I/O buses: ModbusTCP, ModbusRTU (RS-485), Canbus

Whisker.Block™ Products

The Whisker.Hub™ is a key component of the Whisker.io™ Platform; it's job is to act a gateway between a broadbrand connection to the cloud and the low data rate, long range wireless network of Whisker.Blocks™ and Whisker.Tags™.

They are very flexible and can be configured with a variety of power, connectivity, and I/O options, ensuring that there is a perfect Whisker.Hub™ for any application.

Whisker.Engine™

Low cost Whisker.Engine™ for OEM applications

The Whisker.Engine™ is the heart of the Whisker.io™ platform and is the core of every Whisker.Block™ and Whisker.Hub™. It is a small, very low power, long range RF module designed specifically for battery powered, wireless IoT applications. It combines the LoRa™ radio modulation technology with our own IoT protocol to provide unprecedented range (1-40miles) and battery life (up to 20 years).

Direct Sensor Interface

The engine comes pre-programmed with a number of drivers for a variety of digital and analog sensors. It comes standard with 2 analog and 2 digital inputs and can be expanded via the I2C bus with a variety of port I/O expandors, precision A/D converters, and digital sensors. Finally, the module has a UART interface that can be used for local and remote configuration, transparent serial communications, and as a communication hub for IoT applications.

Specifications

Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
Modulation: LoRa™
Security: AES
Power Supply: 1.8-3.6V DC
Power Usage: <40µA average (5 minute update)
Range: >1 mile (10 foot elevation), open field, line of sight
