1. The Challenge of Traditional Circuit Breakers
In many real-world projects, circuit breakers already support data output, but:
- Data cannot be accessed remotely
- Parameters are isolated across systems
- Fault detection relies on manual inspection
- Upgrading systems is costly
The issue is not the device itself, but the lack of a scalable connectivity solution.
2. Solution Architecture
The LoRaWAN-based integration enables fast deployment:
SZWB1L → RS-485 → KC11 → EdgeBus → LoRaWAN → ThinkLink
This architecture allows seamless upgrade without replacing existing infrastructure.
