== 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.

385

386

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

387

388

This section describes how to achieve above goals.

389

390

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

391

392

393

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

394

395

396

~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.

397

398

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.

399

400

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

401

402

403

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

404

405

Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.

407

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.

420

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

603

==== 3.3.7.2 Practical application ====

604

605

606

The following uses the default interrupt triggering mode (% style="color:blue" %)**(AT+INTMOD=2)**(%%) as an example to show the interrupt function of (% style="color:blue" %)**INT**(%%):

607

608

When a high voltage is given to the INT pin and then the level of the (% style="color:blue" %)**INT**(%%) pin changes from high to low, the interrupt is triggered by a falling edge and the RS485-LN sends an uplink data.

609

610

(% style="color:red" %)**Note: The level that triggers the interrupt ranges from 3.3V to 24V. Generally, it is recommended to use less than 12V.**

**Example:**

* Use a dry contact to connect the (% style="color:blue" %)**INT**(%%) pin and (% style="color:blue" %)**VIN+**(%%) pin of the RS485-LN.

615

616

When the dry contact is closed, INT and VIN+ conduct and INT is high.

617

618

Disconnecting the dry contact, the level of the INT pin changes from high to low, triggering an interrupt (triggered along the falling edge), and the RS485-LN sends an uplink data.

619

620

[[image:image-20240925174124-5.jpeg||height="439" width="703"]]

621

622

* Use a regulated power supply or a wet contact to connect the 485-LN to trigger the interruption.(This section uses a regulated power supply as an example.)

623

624

The positive pole of the stabilized power supply is connected to the (% style="color:blue" %)**INT**(%%) pin of RS485-LN, and the negative pole of the stabilized power supply is connected to the (% style="color:blue" %)**VIN-**(%%) pin of RS485-LN.

625

626

When the regulated power supply is operating, a high voltage is given to the INT pin and the INT level is high. When the regulated power supply is turned off, the level of the INT pin changes from

627

628

high to low, at which time an interrupt is triggered (triggered along the falling edge), and the device will send an uplink data.

1746

1747

1748

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:

1749

1750

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

1751

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

1752

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

1753

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

== 6.8 Where to get the decoder for RS485-LN? ==

1853

1854

1855

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)

1860

1861

Dragino has developed an application for the RS485 series of products.

1862

1863

It can help you configure RS485 sensors more conveniently

== 7.3 Why can't customers see the device's data in the server when the data is too long? ==

1884

1885

This is due to the limitation of the lorawan protocol, and the fixed DR needs to be adjusted to improve this problem.

1886

Please refer to the following link for the number of bytes limited by different frequencies and different DRs in the lorawan protocol
