--**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.

--* 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.

--
--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
--
--

--11. +5V Output
--
--RS485-BL has a Controllable +5V output, user can use this output to power external sensor.
--
--The +5V output will be valid for every sampling. RS485-BL will enable +5V output before all sampling and disable the +5v after all sampling.
--
--
--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.

--11. How many RS485-Slave can RS485-BL connects?
--
--The RS485-BL can support max 32 RS485 devices. Each uplink command of RS485-BL can support max 16 different RS485 command. So RS485-BL 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>>path:#downlink_A8]].
