== 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, smartphone detection, 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.

=== 3.3.3 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.

384

385

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

386

387

This section describes how to achieve above goals.

388

389

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

390

391

392

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

393

394

395

~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.

396

397

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.

398

399

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

400

401

402

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

403

404

Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.

405

406

407

(% 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:

414

415

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

416

)))

417

418

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.

419

420

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

== 6.3 How many RS485-Slave can RS485-LN connects? ==

1650

1651

1652

The RS485-LN can support max 32 RS485 devices. Each uplink command of RS485-LN can support max 16 different RS485 command. So RS485-LN can support max 16 RS485 devices pre-program in the device for uplink. For other devices no pre-program, user can use the [[downlink message (type code 0xA8) to poll their info>>||anchor="H3.3.3Configurereadcommandsforeachsampling"]].

== 6.7 How to judge whether there is a problem with the set COMMAND ==

=== Introduce: ===

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:

1684

1685

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

1686

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

1687

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

1688

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

(4)Click the comms.

1726

1727

=== Run RS485-LN/BL command and monitor if it is correct. ===

1728

1729

=== Example – Test the CFGDEV command ===

1730

1731

RS485-LN sent below command:

1732

1733

AT+CFGDEV=01 03 20 00 01 85 c0,1 to RS485 network, and PC is able to get this command and return commands from MTU to show in the serial tool.

1734

1735

1736

We can see the output from the Serial port tool to analyze. And check if they are expected result.

1737

1738

[[image:image-20221130104310-8.png||height="214" width="797"]]

1739

1740

We can also use ModRSsim2 to see the output.

1741

1742

[[image:image-20221130104310-9.png||height="531" width="729"]]

=== Example – Test CMD command sets. ===

1747

1748

Run AT+SENSORVALUE=1 to test the CMD commands set in RS485-LN.

Serial port tool:

[[image:image-20221130104310-10.png||height="339" width="844"]]

ModRSsim2:

[[image:image-20221130104310-11.png||height="281" width="962"]]

=== Test with PC ===

If there is still have problem to set up correctly the commands between RS485-LN and MTU. User can test the correct RS485 command set in PC and compare with the RS485 command sent out via RS485-LN. as long as both commands are the same, the MTU should return correct result.

1764

1765

1766

Or User can send the working commands set in PC serial tool to Dragino Support to check what should be configured in RS485-LN.
