468 Note:
469
470 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.

474 AT+COMMAND1=11 01 1E D0,0

494
495 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.**
496
497
498 **Examples: AT+DATAUP=0**
499
500 Compose the uplink payload with value returns in sequence and send with **A SIGNLE UPLINK**.
501
502 Final Payload is
503

505

513
514 Compose the uplink payload with value returns in sequence and send with **Multiply UPLINKs**.
515
516 Final Payload is
517
518 Battery Info+PAYVER + PAYLOAD COUNT + PAYLOAD# + DATA
519
520 1. Battery Info (2 bytes): Battery voltage
521 1. PAYVER (1 byte): Defined by AT+PAYVER
522 1. PAYLOAD COUNT (1 byte): Total how many uplinks of this sampling.
523 1. PAYLOAD# (1 byte): Number of this uplink. (from 0,1,2,3…,to PAYLOAD COUNT)
524 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
525
526 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image020.png]]
527

658 ==== Choose Device Type (RS485 or TTL) ====
659
660 RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.
661
662 * AT Command
663
664 **AT+MOD=1** ~/~/ Set to support RS485-MODBUS type sensors. User can connect multiply RS485 , Modbus sensors to the A / B pins.

672

674
675 ==== [[RS485 Debug Command>>path:#downlink_A8]] (AT+CFGDEV) ====
676
677 This command is used to configure the RS485 or TTL sensors; they won’t be used during sampling.
678
679 * AT Command
680
681 AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m
682
683 m: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command.
684
685
686
687 * Downlink Payload
688
689 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
690
691 Where:
692
693 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
694 * NN: The length of RS485 command
695 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
696 * 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
697
698 **Example 1:**
699
700 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
701
702 * 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.
703
704 * 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.
705
706 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
707
708 **A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: to activate the RS485 Alarm
709
710 **A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**: to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
711
712 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.
713

724 ==== Set Payload version ====
725
726 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.
727
728 * AT Command:
729
730 AT+PAYVER: Set PAYVER field = 1
731
732
733 * Downlink Payload:
734
735 0xAE 01   à Set PAYVER field =  0x01
736
737 0xAE 0F   à Set PAYVER field =  0x0F
738
739
740 ==== Set RS485 Sampling Commands ====
741
742 AT+COMMANDx, AT+DATACUTx and AT+SEARCHx
743
744 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]].
745
746
747 * AT Command:
748
749 AT+COMMANDx: Configure RS485 read command to sensor.
750
751 AT+DATACUTx: Configure how to handle return from RS485 devices.
752
753 AT+SEARCHx: Configure search command
754
755
756 * Downlink Payload:
757
758 0xAF downlink command can be used to set AT+COMMANDx or AT+DATACUTx.
759
760 Note: if user use AT+COMMANDx to add a new command, he also need to send AT+DATACUTx downlink.
761
762 Format: AF MM NN LL XX XX XX XX YY
763
764 Where:
765
766 * MM: the ATCOMMAND or AT+DATACUT to be set. Value from 01 ~~ 0F,
767 * NN: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 2: set the AT+DATACUT value.
768 * LL: The length of AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
769 * XX XX XX XX: AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
770 * 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.
771
772 Example:
773
774 **AF 03 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: Same as AT+COMMAND3=0A 05 00 04 00 01,1

777
778 **AF 03 02 06 0B 02 05 07 08 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**11**,**2**,**5~~7+8~~10**
779
780
781 0xAB downlink command can be used for set AT+SEARCHx
782
783 Example: **AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx** (03 here means there are total 3 bytes after 03) So
784
785 * AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx  same as AT+SEARCHaa=1,xx xx xx
786 * 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
787
788 **AB aa 02 03 xx xx xx 02 yy yy**  same as **AT+SEARCHaa=2,xx xx xx+yy yy**
789
790
791 ==== Fast command to handle MODBUS device ====
792
793 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]].
794
795 This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
796
797
798 AT+MBFUN has only two value:
799
800 * AT+MBFUN=1: Enable Modbus reading. And get response base on the MODBUS return
801
802 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.
803
804 * AT+MBFUN=0: Disable Modbus fast reading.
805
806 Example:
807
808 * AT+MBFUN=1 and AT+DATACUT1/AT+DATACUT2 are not configure (0,0,0).
809 * 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.
810 * 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.

1103 1. Make sure the LG01/02 gateway RX frequency is exactly the same as AT+CHS setting.
1104 1. Make sure SF / bandwidth setting in LG01/LG02 match the settings of AT+DR. refer [[this link>>url:http://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_Gateway/&file=LoRaWAN%201.0.3%20Regional%20Parameters.xlsx]] to see what DR means.
1105 1. The command AT+RX2FQ and AT+RX2DR is to let downlink work. to set the correct parameters, user can check the actually downlink parameters to be used. As below. Which shows the RX2FQ should use 868400000 and RX2DR should be 5

1161
1162 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]].
