== 1.1 What is RS485-LN RS485 to LoRaWAN Converter ==

(((

The Dragino RS485-LN is a (% style="color:blue" %)**RS485 to LoRaWAN Converter**(%%). It converts the RS485 signal into LoRaWAN wireless signal which simplify the IoT installation and reduce the installation/maintaining cost.

)))

(((

RS485-LN allows user to (% style="color:blue" %)**monitor / control RS485 devices**(%%) and reach extremely long ranges. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption. It targets professional wireless sensor network applications such as irrigation systems, smart metering, smart cities, building automation, and so on.

)))

(((

(% style="color:blue" %)**For data uplink**(%%), RS485-LN sends user-defined commands to RS485 devices and gets the return from the RS485 devices. RS485-LN will process these returns according to user-define rules to get the final payload and upload to LoRaWAN server.

)))

(((

(% style="color:blue" %)**For data downlink**(%%), RS485-LN runs in LoRaWAN Class C. When there downlink commands from LoRaWAN server, RS485-LN will forward the commands from LoRaWAN server to RS485 devices.

=== 3.3.4 Configure read commands for each sampling ===

(((

During each sampling, we need confirm what commands we need to send to the RS485 sensors to read data. After the RS485 sensors send back the value, it normally include some bytes and we only need a few from them for a shorten payload.

378

379

To save the LoRaWAN network bandwidth, we might need to read data from different sensors and combine their valid value into a short payload.

380

381

This section describes how to achieve above goals.

382

383

During each sampling, the RS485-LN can support 15 commands to read sensors. And combine the return to one or several uplink payloads.

384

385

386

(% style="color:#037691" %)**Each RS485 commands include two parts:**

387

388

389

~1. What commands RS485-LN will send to the RS485 sensors. There are total 15 commands from **AT+COMMAD1**, **ATCOMMAND2**,…, to **AT+COMMANDF**. All commands are of same grammar.

390

391

2. How to get wanted value the from RS485 sensors returns from by 1). There are total 15 AT Commands to handle the return, commands are **AT+DATACUT1**,**AT+DATACUT2**,…, **AT+DATACUTF** corresponding to the commands from 1). All commands are of same grammar.

392

393

3. Some RS485 device might has longer delay on reply, so user can use AT+CMDDL to set the timeout for getting reply after the RS485 command is sent. For example **AT+CMDDL1=1000** to send the open time to 1000ms

396

After we got the valid value from each RS485 commands, we need to combine them together with the command **AT+DATAUP**.

397

398

Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.

399

400

401

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+COMMANDx **(%%)**: **This command will be sent to RS485 devices during each sampling, Max command length is 14 bytes. The grammar is:

402

403

(% border="1" style="background-color:#f2f2f2; width:499px" %)

404

|(% style="width:496px" %)(((

405

**AT+COMMANDx=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**

406

407

**xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx: The RS485 command to be sent**

408

409

**m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**

410

)))

411

412

For example, if we have a RS485 sensor. The command to get sensor value is: 01 03 0B B8 00 02 46 0A. Where 01 03 0B B8 00 02 is the Modbus command to read the register 0B B8 where stored the sensor value. The 46 0A is the CRC-16/MODBUS which calculate manually.

413

414

In the RS485-LN, we should use this command AT+COMMAND1=01 03 0B B8 00 02,1 for the same.

415

416

417

If a single command exceeds 14 bytes, you can use the command splicing function.

418

419

When AT+CMDDLx=1, the commands of AT+COMMANDx and AT+COMMAND(x+1) will be merged.

420

421

422

**Examples:** To send 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F data it should be configured:

423

424

AT+COMMAND1=00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D,0

AT+COMMAND1=1

AT+COMMAND2=0E 0F,0

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+DATACUTx **(%%)**: **This command defines how to handle the return from AT+COMMANDx, max return length is 100 bytes.

432

433

434

|(% style="width:510px" %)(((

438

* **b:1: grab valid value by byte, max 6 bytes. 2: grab valid value by bytes section, max 3 sections.**

1689

1690

Users can use below the structure to fast debug the communication between RS485BL and RS485-LN. The principle is to put the PC in the RS485 network and sniff the packet between Modbus MTU and RS485-BL/LN. We can use this way to:

1691

1692

1. Test if Modbus-MTU works with PC commands.

1693

1. Check if RS485-LN sent the expected command to Mobus-MTU

1694

1. Check if Modbus-MTU return back the expected result to RS485-LN.

1695

1. If both b) and c) has issue, we can compare PC’s output and RS485-LN output.

1795

1796

1797

The decoder for RS485-LN needs to be written by yourself. Because the sensor to which the user is connected is custom, the read device data bytes also need custom parsing, so there is no universal decoder. We can only provide [[templates>>https://github.com/dragino/dragino-end-node-decoder/tree/main/RS485-LN]] for decoders (no intermediate data parsing part involved)
