4 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
This part describes the SI-11 communication protocol with LoRaWAN
®
network.
In fields consisting of several bytes, the little endian byte order is used
VEGA SI-11 PULSE COUNTER TRANSMITS THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF PACKETS

The counter has internal clock and calendar; time and date are factory set. When sending
a packet with the current readings, the device uses the data taken at the nearest time, which is
multiple to the interval according to data collection period:
1 hour period: the readings of the beginning of the current hour are sent;
6 hours period: 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 readings are sent;
12 hours period: 00:00, 12:00 readings are sent;
24 hours period: the readings of 00:00 of the current day are sent.
