4–20 mA / Analog to LoRaWAN
Industrial transmitters for pressure, level, flow and temperature typically output 4–20 mA. Analog-to-LoRaWAN converters read and scale these signals and send engineering values wirelessly.
- What problem do we solve?
- Transmitters in tanks, pits, pipelines and rooftops are often far from the nearest controller.
- How do we solve it?
- MatrixAI engineers the 4–20 mA / 0–10 V → LoRaWAN conversion — device audit, converter selection, mapping, decoding and commissioning.
- What technologies do we use?
- 4–20 mA, LoRaWAN, network server codecs, MQTT / REST
- What can we integrate?
- IoT platforms, BMS, CAFM, SCADA, billing and cloud services

FAQ
4–20 mA integration questions
Can the converter power the transmitter?
Many analog converters provide switched sensor excitation. Power budget is calculated during design to confirm battery life.
