Technische Beschreibung
The RV50X is an industrial 4G LTE cellular gateway. It requires at least one mini-SIM (2FF) card supplied by your cellular carrier and a suitable 12 or 24 Vdc nominal power source. The RV50X has an RS-232 serial port that can be used for serial server, serial client, and PPP host services. This port is commonly connected to a data logger RS-232 serial port. Additionally, it has an Ethernet port, as well as a host of Ethernet and IP services related to routing, port forwarding, VPN, and more. The RV50X has three antenna connectors to be used for primary and diversity antennas and GPS, although the unit can operate with only the primary cellular antenna connected.
Internet Connectivity
The RV50X provides Internet connectivity to any Campbell Scientific data loggers located within range of a compatible cellular network. Armed with Internet connectivity, a data logger can remotely connect to Campbell Scientific software on a PC, mobile device, and the cloud. The RV50X can also enable many data loggers to communicate using other Internet protocols, such as Modbus, DNP3, email, and web (HTTP).
Device Intelligence
The RV50X is powered by the Sierra Wireless ALEOS embedded operating system. This allows the RV50X to provide highly reliable connectivity and remote device management independent of the device it is connected to. The numerous embedded services include IP serial server and client, local PPP host, dynamic DNS client, routing, VPN, and more.
Establishing Cellular Service
Campbell Scientific offers low-cost, cellular data service plans for the RV50X. Our data service plans include Verizon in the United States and AT&T in North America (US, Mexico, Canada), as well as international access to over 600 carriers in 185 countries. The Konect Router Service is included to assure a secure connection with Campbell Scientific data logger support software.
Configuring the RV50X
The RV50X is configured using ACEManager, a web-based configuration tool hosted by the gateway. ACEManager can be accessed using Internet Explorer or Firefox remotely over the cellular WAN or locally over Ethernet. A number of templates will be provided for download to make most configurations very simple after connection to ACEManager.
Data Logger Connection
Data loggers can be connected in a variety of ways to suit the needs of the application. Common methods include the use of serial or Ethernet peripherals. The 28899 Ethernet cable is shipped with the RV50X for connecting Ethernet devices.
Powering the RV50X
Compared to many other industrial cellular gateways, the RV50X has a very low power consumption. The average current consumption at 12 Vdc is about 65 to 95 mA when idle, depending on its configuration. Additionally, the RV50X can be turned on and off easily using a data logger C, U, or SW12V port. When using the SW12V terminal, the modem can typically be powered with a BP12 battery, a CH150 charger/regulator, and an SP10 solar panel (collecting data no faster than every 15 minutes and not collecting image files).
Antennas
Campbell Scientific offers two antennas for the RV50X. Our higher gain omnidirectional (pn 32262) and Yagi (pn 31128) antennas require a cable to connect them to the RV50X. The COAXSMA-L cable connects the antennas directly to the RV50X cellular antenna connector. The COAXNTN-L cable and a surge protector (pn 31317) are used when the RV50X is susceptible to lightning or electrostatic buildup or for long cable runs. Two external antennas are required for reliable 4G LTE communications.

Establishing Cellular Service
Ask your cellular provider for an M2M (machine-to-machine) account sales expert for the purpose of setting up either a publicly available static or dynamic IP account. You will need the sales expert to provide a mini-SIM card provisioned for your account.
Configuring the Modem
The RV50X is configured using ACEManager, a web-based configuration tool hosted by the gateway. ACEManager can be accessed using Internet Explorer or Firefox remotely over the cellular WAN or locally over Ethernet. A number of templates will be provided via download to make most configurations very simple after connecting to ACEManager.

RV50(X) Template Files (414 KB) 25-01-2021
For use with the Sierra Wireless RV50(X) modem.
These template files are used with the Sierra Wireless ACEManager to configure the AirLink RV50(X) modem to communicate at 115200 or 9600 baud with the datalogger. The templates will configure the RV50(X) for both serial server or PPP (point-to-point protocol) with the mode being determined by the datalogger. Using PPP allows access to the dataloggers IP capabilities (Email, HTTP, FTP, etc). The CR300, CR350, CR800, CR1000(X), CR3000 and CR6 dataloggers supports PPP.
Port forwarding for ports 80 and 6785 (HTTP and PakBus) is included in the template. Other needed ports (i.e. for Modbus and DNP3) will need to be added by the user through the RV50(X) ACEmanager interface.
Note: The download needs to be executed before use. The results of execution will place the template files in the "C:\RV50 Templates" directory on your computer.

Verizon recommends using MIMO antennas because their 4G towers have at least two MIMO antennas. If your modem has two MIMO antennas as well, you may benefit from reduced signal reflections, more reliable data reception, and an increase in bandwidth.
While Verizon’s language indicates that MIMO antennas are required because they want to offer the best service possible to their users, technically, a MIMO antenna is not required for any of our products, including the CR300-CELL210 (which does not have a diversity port) and the RV50X and CELL210 (which do have a diversity port to accommodate MIMO antennas). Our users have found that a single antenna works well without noticeable issues.
