(((

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.

397

398

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

399

400

This section describes how to achieve above goals.

401

402

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

403

404

405

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

406

407

~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.

408

409

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.

410

411

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

412

413

414

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

415

416

Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.

417

418

419

(% 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:

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

426

427

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

428

)))

429

430

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.

431

432

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

433

434

435

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+DATACUTx **(%%)**: **This command defines how to handle the return from AT+COMMANDx, max return length is 45 bytes.
