Abstract

Purpose: Three types of LPWA LoRa module were investigated as candidate smart sensor systems in a smart factory. A long-distance communication success test was conducted to determine which module type best satisfied functional safety requirements.BRMethods: The three types of LoRa communication module considered in this paper were 1. sLory, 2. RYLR890 using UART interface and 3. P2P UART communication module RAK811. A communication success field demonstration test was performed at 3.24 km in the city center and in a flat area (Ansan-si).BRResults: The RYLR890 module type achieved communication success up to 3 km. However, the communication success rate from departure to arrival was unstable. The RAK811 achieved communication up to 2 km and the field test demonstrated that the transmission/reception performance was stable from departure to arrival.BRConclusion: Three types of LoRa module were selected for LPWA and the world
