--1. Pin mapping and Power ON Device
--
--The RS485-BL is powered on by 8500mAh battery. To save battery life, RS485-BL is shipped with power off. User can put the jumper to power on RS485-BL.
--
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image003.png]]
--
--
--
--The Left TXD and RXD are TTL interface for external sensor. TTL level is controlled by 3.3/5v Jumper.
--
--
--
--
--
--
--1. Operation Mode
--11. How it works?
--
--The RS485-BL is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, user just need to input the OTAA keys in the network server and power on the RS485-BL. It will auto join the network via OTAA.
--
--
--1.
--11. Example to join LoRaWAN network
--
--Here shows an example for how to join the TTN V3 Network. Below is the network structure, we use [[LG308>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/140-lg308.html]] as LoRaWAN gateway here.
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image004.png]]
--
--
--The RS485-BL in this example connected to two RS485 devices for demonstration, user can connect to other RS485 devices via the same method.
--
--
--The LG308 is already set to connect to [[TTN V3 network >>url:https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/]]. So what we need to now is only configure the TTN V3:
--
--**Step 1**: Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from RS485-BL.
--
--Each RS485-BL is shipped with a sticker with unique device EUI:
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image005.png]]

--1.
--11. Configure Commands to read data
--
--There are plenty of RS485 and TTL level devices in the market and each device has different command to read the valid data. To support these devices in flexible, RS485-BL supports flexible command set. User can use [[AT Commands or LoRaWAN Downlink>>path:#AT_COMMAND]] Command to configure how RS485-BL should read the sensor and how to handle the return from RS485 or TTL sensors.
--
--
--1.
--11.
--111. Configure UART settings for RS485 or TTL communication
--
--RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.
--
--1. RS485-MODBUS mode:
--
--AT+MOD=1 ~/~/ Support RS485-MODBUS type sensors. User can connect multiply RS485 , Modbus sensors to the A / B pins.
--
--
--1. TTL mode:
--
--AT+MOD=2 ~/~/ Support TTL Level sensors, User can connect one TTL Sensor to the TXD/RXD/GND pins.
--
--
--RS485-BL default UART settings is **9600, no parity, stop bit 1**. If the sensor has a different settings, user can change the RS485-BL setting to match.
--
--
--|**AT Commands**|**Description**|**Example**
--|AT+BAUDR|Set the baud rate (for RS485 connection). Default Value is: 9600.|(((
--AT+BAUDR=9600

--111. Configure sensors
--
--Some sensors might need to configure before normal operation. User can configure such sensor via PC or through RS485-BL AT Commands AT+CFGDEV.
--
--
--When user issue an AT+CFGDEV command, Each AT+CFGDEV equals to send a command to the RS485 or TTL sensors. This command will only run when user input it and won’t run during each sampling.
--
--|**AT Commands**|**Description**|**Example**
--|AT+CFGDEV|(((
--This command is used to configure the RS485/TTL devices; they won’t be used during sampling.

--11.
--111. Configure read commands for each sampling
--
--RS485-BL is a battery powered device; it will sleep most of time. And wake up on each period and read RS485 / TTL sensor data and uplink.
--
--
--During each sampling, we need to confirm what commands we need to send to the sensors to read data. After the RS485/TTL sensors send back the value, it normally includes some bytes and we only need a few from them for a shorten payload.
--
--
--To save the LoRaWAN network bandwidth, we might need to read data from different sensors and combine their valid value into a short payload.
--
--
--This section describes how to achieve above goals.
--
--
--During each sampling, the RS485-BL can support 15 commands to read sensors. And combine the return to one or several uplink payloads.
--
--
--**Command from RS485-BL to Sensor:**
--
--RS485-BL can send out pre-set max 15 strings via **AT+COMMAD1**, **ATCOMMAND2**,…, to **AT+COMMANDF** . All commands are of same grammar.
--
--
--**Handle return from sensors to RS485-BL**:
--
--After RS485-BL send out a string to sensor, RS485-BL will wait for the return from RS485 or TTL sensor. And user can specify how to handle the return, by **AT+DATACUT or AT+SEARCH commands**
--
--
--* **AT+DATACUT**
--
--When the return value from sensor have fix length and we know which position the valid value we should get, we can use AT+DATACUT command.
--
--
--* **AT+SEARCH**
--
--When the return value from sensor is dynamic length and we are not sure which bytes the valid data is, instead, we know what value the valid value following. We can use AT+SEARCH to search the valid value in the return string.
--
--
--**Define wait timeout:**
--
--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
--
--
--After we got the valid value from each RS485 commands, we need to combine them together with the command **AT+DATAUP**.
--
--
--**Examples:**
--
--Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.
--
--
--**AT+COMMANDx : **This command will be sent to RS485/TTL devices during each sampling, Max command length is 14 bytes. The grammar is:
--
--|(((
--**AT+COMMANDx=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**
--
--**xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx: The RS485 command to be sent**
--
--**m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**
--)))
--
--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.
--
--In the RS485-BL, we should use this command AT+COMMAND1=01 03 0B B8 00 02,1 for the same.
--
--
--**AT+SEARCHx**: This command defines how to handle the return from AT+COMMANDx.
--
--|(((
--**AT+SEARCHx=aa,xx xx xx xx xx**
--
--* **aa: 1: prefix match mode; 2: prefix and suffix match mode**
--* **xx xx xx xx xx: match string. Max 5 bytes for prefix and 5 bytes for suffix**
--
--
--)))
--
--Examples:
--
--1. For a return string from AT+COMMAND1: 16 0c 1e 56 34 2e 30 58 5f 36 41 30 31 00 49
--
--If we set AT+SEARCH1=1,1E 56 34.      (max 5 bytes for prefix)
--
--The valid data will be all bytes after 1E 56 34 , so it is 2e 30 58 5f 36 41 30 31 00 49
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image013.png]]
--
--
--1. For a return string from AT+COMMAND1:  16 0c 1e 56 34 2e 30 58 5f 36 41 30 31 00 49
--
--If we set AT+SEARCH1=2, 1E 56 34+31 00 49
--
--Device will search the bytes between 1E 56 34 and 31 00 49. So it is 2e 30 58 5f 36 41 30
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image014.png]]
--
--
--**AT+DATACUTx : **This command defines how to handle the return from AT+COMMANDx, max return length is 45 bytes.
--
--|(((
--**AT+DATACUTx=a,b,c**
--
--* **a: length for the return of AT+COMMAND**
--* **b:1: grab valid value by byte, max 6 bytes. 2: grab valid value by bytes section, max 3 sections.**
--* **c: define the position for valid value.  **
--)))
--
--Examples:
--
--* Grab bytes:
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image015.png]]
--
--* Grab a section.
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image016.png]]
--
--* Grab different sections.
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image017.png]]
--
--
--Note:
--
--AT+SEARCHx and AT+DATACUTx can be used together, if both commands are set, RS485-BL will first process AT+SEARCHx on the return string and get a temporary string, and then process AT+DATACUTx on this temporary string to get the final payload. In this case, AT+DATACUTx need to set to format AT+DATACUTx=0,xx,xx where the return bytes set to 0.
--
--Example:
--
--AT+COMMAND1=11 01 1E D0,0
--
--AT+SEARCH1=1,1E 56 34
--
--AT+DATACUT1=0,2,1~~5
--
--Return string from AT+COMMAND1: 16 0c 1e 56 34 2e 30 58 5f 36 41 30 31 00 49
--
--String after SEARCH command: 2e 30 58 5f 36 41 30 31 00 49
--
--Valid payload after DataCUT command: 2e 30 58 5f 36

--111. Compose the uplink payload
--
--Through AT+COMMANDx and AT+DATACUTx we got valid value from each RS485 commands, Assume these valid value are RETURN1, RETURN2, .., to RETURNx. The next step is how to compose the LoRa Uplink Payload by these RETURNs. The command is **AT+DATAUP.**
--
--
--**Examples: AT+DATAUP=0**
--
--Compose the uplink payload with value returns in sequence and send with **A SIGNLE UPLINK**.
--
--Final Payload is
--
--Battery Info+PAYVER + VALID Value from RETURN1 + Valid Value from RETURN2 + … + RETURNx
--
--Where PAYVER is defined by AT+PAYVER, below is an example screen shot.
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image019.png]]
--
--
--
--**Examples: AT+DATAUP=1**
--
--Compose the uplink payload with value returns in sequence and send with **Multiply UPLINKs**.
--
--Final Payload is
--
--Battery Info+PAYVER + PAYLOAD COUNT + PAYLOAD# + DATA
--
--1. Battery Info (2 bytes): Battery voltage
--1. PAYVER (1 byte): Defined by AT+PAYVER
--1. PAYLOAD COUNT (1 byte): Total how many uplinks of this sampling.
--1. PAYLOAD# (1 byte): Number of this uplink. (from 0,1,2,3…,to PAYLOAD COUNT)
--1. DATA: Valid value: max 6 bytes(US915 version here, [[Notice*!>>path:#max_byte]]) for each uplink so each uplink <= 11 bytes. For the last uplink, DATA will might less than 6 bytes
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image020.png]]
--
--
--So totally there will be 3 uplinks for this sampling, each uplink includes 6 bytes DATA
--
--DATA1=RETURN1 Valid Value = 20 20 0a 33 90 41
--
--DATA2=1^^st^^ ~~ 6^^th^^ byte of Valid value of RETURN10= 02 aa 05 81 0a 20
--
--DATA3=7^^th^^ ~~ 11^^th^^ bytes of Valid value of RETURN10 = 20 20 20 2d 30
--
--
--
--Below are the uplink payloads:
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image021.png]]
--
--
--Notice: the Max bytes is according to the max support bytes in different Frequency Bands for lowest SF. As below:
--
--   ~* For AU915/AS923 bands, if UplinkDwell time=0, max 51 bytes for each uplink ( so 51 -5 = 46 max valid date)
--
--   * For AU915/AS923 bands, if UplinkDwell time=1, max 11 bytes for each uplink ( so 11 -5 = 6 max valid date).
--
--   * For US915 band, max 11 bytes for each uplink ( so 11 -5 = 6 max valid date).
--
--   ~* For all other bands: max 51 bytes for each uplink  ( so 51 -5 = 46 max valid date).
--
--
--
--1.
--11.
--111. Uplink on demand
--
--Except uplink periodically, RS485-BL is able to uplink on demand. The server sends downlink command to RS485-BL and RS485 will uplink data base on the command.
--
--Downlink control command:
--
--[[0x08 command>>path:#downlink_08]]: Poll an uplink with current command set in RS485-BL.
--
--[[0xA8 command>>path:#downlink_A8]]: Send a command to RS485-BL and uplink the output from sensors.
--
--
--

--111. Uplink on Interrupt
--
--Put the interrupt sensor between 3.3v_out and GPIO ext.[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image022.png]]

--11. Configure RS485-BL via AT or Downlink
--
--User can configure RS485-BL via [[AT Commands >>path:#_Using_the_AT]]or LoRaWAN Downlink Commands
--
--There are two kinds of Commands:
--
--* **Common Commands**: They should be available for each sensor, such as: change uplink interval, reset device. For firmware v1.3, user can find what common commands it supports: http:~/~/wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=End_Device_AT_Commands_and_Downlink_Commands
--
--* **Sensor Related Commands**: These commands are special designed for RS485-BL.  User can see these commands below:

--111. Common Commands:
--
--
--They should be available for each of Dragino Sensors, such as: change uplink interval, reset device. For firmware v1.3, user can find what common commands it supports: [[http:~~/~~/wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=End_Device_AT_Commands_and_Downlink_Commands>>url:http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=End_Device_AT_Commands_and_Downlink_Commands]]
--
--
--1.
--11.
--111. Sensor related commands:
--
--
--==== Choose Device Type (RS485 or TTL) ====
--
--RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.
--
--* AT Command
--
--**AT+MOD=1** ~/~/ Set to support RS485-MODBUS type sensors. User can connect multiply RS485 , Modbus sensors to the A / B pins.
--
--**AT+MOD=2** ~/~/ Set to support TTL Level sensors, User can connect one TTL Sensor to the TXD/RXD/GND pins.
--
--
--* Downlink Payload
--
--**0A aa**     à same as AT+MOD=aa
--
--
--
--==== [[RS485 Debug Command>>path:#downlink_A8]] (AT+CFGDEV) ====
--
--This command is used to configure the RS485 or TTL sensors; they won’t be used during sampling.
--
--* AT Command
--
--AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m
--
--m: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command.
--
--
--
--* Downlink Payload
--
--Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
--
--Where:
--
--* MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
--* NN: The length of RS485 command
--* XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
--* YY: How many bytes will be uplink from the return of this RS485 command, if YY=0, RS485-BL will execute the downlink command without uplink; if YY>0, RS485-BL will uplink total YY bytes from the output of this RS485 command
--
--
--**Example 1:**
--
--To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
--
--* The command to active alarm is: 0A 05 00 04 00 01 4C B0. Where 0A 05 00 04 00 01 is the Modbus command to read the register 00 40 where stored the DI status. The 4C B0 is the CRC-16/MODBUS which calculate manually.
--
--* The command to deactivate alarm is: 0A 05 00 04 00 00 8D 70. Where 0A 05 00 04 00 00 is the Modbus command to read the register 00 40 where stored the DI status. The 8D 70 is the CRC-16/MODBUS which calculate manually.
--
--So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
--
--**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: to activate the RS485 Alarm
--
--**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**: to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
--
--A8 is type code and 01 means add CRC-16/MODBUS at the end, the 3^^rd^^ byte is 06, means the next 6 bytes are the command to be sent to the RS485 network, the final byte 00 means this command don’t need to acquire output.
--
--
--**Example 2:**
--
--Check TTL Sensor return:
--
--[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image024.png]]
--
--
--
--
--==== Set Payload version ====
--
--This is the first byte of the uplink payload. RS485-BL can connect to different sensors. User can set the PAYVER field to tell server how to decode the current payload.
--
--* AT Command:
--
--AT+PAYVER: Set PAYVER field = 1
--
--
--* Downlink Payload:
--
--0xAE 01   à Set PAYVER field =  0x01
--
--0xAE 0F   à Set PAYVER field =  0x0F
--
--
--==== Set RS485 Sampling Commands ====
--
--AT+COMMANDx, AT+DATACUTx and AT+SEARCHx
--
--These three commands are used to configure how the RS485-BL polling data from Modbus device. Detail of usage please see : [[polling RS485 device>>path:#polling_485]].
--
--
--* AT Command:
--
--AT+COMMANDx: Configure RS485 read command to sensor.
--
--AT+DATACUTx: Configure how to handle return from RS485 devices.
--
--AT+SEARCHx: Configure search command
--
--
--* Downlink Payload:
--
--0xAF downlink command can be used to set AT+COMMANDx or AT+DATACUTx.
--
--Note: if user use AT+COMMANDx to add a new command, he also need to send AT+DATACUTx downlink.
--
--Format: AF MM NN LL XX XX XX XX YY
--
--Where:
--
--* MM: the ATCOMMAND or AT+DATACUT to be set. Value from 01 ~~ 0F,
--* NN: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 2: set the AT+DATACUT value.
--* LL: The length of AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
--* XX XX XX XX: AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
--* YY: If YY=0, RS485-BL will execute the downlink command without uplink; if YY=1, RS485-BL will execute an uplink after got this command.
--
--Example:
--
--**AF 03 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: Same as AT+COMMAND3=0A 05 00 04 00 01,1
--
--**AF 03 02 06 10 01 05 06 09 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**16**,**1**,**5+6+9+10**
--
--**AF 03 02 06 0B 02 05 07 08 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**11**,**2**,**5~~7+8~~10**
--
--
--0xAB downlink command can be used for set AT+SEARCHx
--
--Example: **AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx** (03 here means there are total 3 bytes after 03) So
--
--* AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx  same as AT+SEARCHaa=1,xx xx xx
--* AB aa 02 03 xx xx xx 02 yy yy(03 means there are 3 bytes after 03, they are xx xx xx;02 means there are 2 bytes after 02, they are yy yy) so the commands
--
--**AB aa 02 03 xx xx xx 02 yy yy**  same as **AT+SEARCHaa=2,xx xx xx+yy yy**
--
--
--==== Fast command to handle MODBUS device ====
--
--AT+MBFUN is valid since v1.3 firmware version. The command is for fast configure to read Modbus devices. It is only valid for the devices which follow the [[MODBUS-RTU protocol>>url:https://www.modbustools.com/modbus.html]].
--
--This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
--
--
--AT+MBFUN has only two value:
--
--* AT+MBFUN=1: Enable Modbus reading. And get response base on the MODBUS return
--
--AT+MBFUN=1, device can auto read the Modbus function code: 01, 02, 03 or 04. AT+MBFUN has lower priority vs AT+DATACUT command. If AT+DATACUT command is configured, AT+MBFUN will be ignore.
--
--* AT+MBFUN=0: Disable Modbus fast reading.
--
--
--Example:
--
--* AT+MBFUN=1 and AT+DATACUT1/AT+DATACUT2 are not configure (0,0,0).
--* AT+COMMAND1= 01 03 00 10 00 08,1 ~-~-> read slave address 01 , function code 03, start address 00 01, quantity of registers 00 08.
--* AT+COMMAND2= 01 02 00 40 00 10,1 ~-~-> read slave address 01 , function code 02, start address 00 40, quantity of inputs 00 10.

--11. +3V3 Output
--
--RS485-BL has a Controllable +3V3 output, user can use this output to power external sensor.
--
--The +3V3 output will be valid for every sampling. RS485-BL will enable +3V3 output before all sampling and disable the +3V3 after all sampling.
--
--
--The +3V3 output time can be controlled by AT Command.
--
--**AT+3V3T=1000**
--
--Means set +3v3 valid time to have 1000ms. So, the real +3v3 output will actually have 1000ms + sampling time for other sensors.
--
--
--By default, the AT+3V3T=0. This is a special case, means the +3V3 output is always on at any time

--
--
--The 5V output time can be controlled by AT Command.
--
--**AT+5VT=1000**
--
--Means set 5V valid time to have 1000ms. So, the real 5V output will actually have 1000ms + sampling time for other sensors.
--
--
--By default, the AT+5VT=0. If the external sensor which require 5v and require more time to get stable state, user can use this command to increase the power ON duration for this sensor.
