604
605 User can configure RS485-BL via [[AT Commands >>path:#_​Using_the_AT]]or LoRaWAN Downlink Commands
606
607 There are two kinds of Commands:
608
609 * **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
610
611 * **Sensor Related Commands**: These commands are special designed for RS485-BL.  User can see these commands below:

623
624 ==== Choose Device Type (RS485 or TTL) ====
625
626 RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.
627
628 * AT Command
629
630 **AT+MOD=1** ~/~/ Set to support RS485-MODBUS type sensors. User can connect multiply RS485 , Modbus sensors to the A / B pins.
631
632 **AT+MOD=2** ~/~/ Set to support TTL Level sensors, User can connect one TTL Sensor to the TXD/RXD/GND pins.

638
639
640
641 ==== [[RS485 Debug Command>>path:#downlink_A8]] (AT+CFGDEV) ====
642
643 This command is used to configure the RS485 or TTL sensors; they won’t be used during sampling.
644
645 * AT Command
646
647 AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m
648
649 m: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command.
650
651
652
653 * Downlink Payload
654
655 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
656
657 Where:
658
659 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
660 * NN: The length of RS485 command
661 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
662 * 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
663
664 **Example 1:**
665
666 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
667
668 * 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.
669
670 * 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.
671
672 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
673
674 **A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: to activate the RS485 Alarm
675
676 **A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**: to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
677
678 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.
679
680
681 **Example 2:**
682
683 Check TTL Sensor return:

689
690 ==== Set Payload version ====
691
692 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.
693
694 * AT Command:
695
696 AT+PAYVER: Set PAYVER field = 1
697
698
699 * Downlink Payload:
700
701 0xAE 01   à Set PAYVER field =  0x01
702
703 0xAE 0F   à Set PAYVER field =  0x0F
704
705
706 ==== Set RS485 Sampling Commands ====
707
708 AT+COMMANDx, AT+DATACUTx and AT+SEARCHx
709
710 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]].
711
712
713 * AT Command:
714
715 AT+COMMANDx: Configure RS485 read command to sensor.
716
717 AT+DATACUTx: Configure how to handle return from RS485 devices.
718
719 AT+SEARCHx: Configure search command
720
721
722 * Downlink Payload:
723
724 0xAF downlink command can be used to set AT+COMMANDx or AT+DATACUTx.
725
726 Note: if user use AT+COMMANDx to add a new command, he also need to send AT+DATACUTx downlink.
727
728 Format: AF MM NN LL XX XX XX XX YY
729
730 Where:
731
732 * MM: the ATCOMMAND or AT+DATACUT to be set. Value from 01 ~~ 0F,
733 * NN: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 2: set the AT+DATACUT value.
734 * LL: The length of AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
735 * XX XX XX XX: AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
736 * 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.
737
738 Example:
739
740 **AF 03 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: Same as AT+COMMAND3=0A 05 00 04 00 01,1

743
744 **AF 03 02 06 0B 02 05 07 08 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**11**,**2**,**5~~7+8~~10**
745
746
747 0xAB downlink command can be used for set AT+SEARCHx
748
749 Example: **AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx** (03 here means there are total 3 bytes after 03) So
750
751 * AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx  same as AT+SEARCHaa=1,xx xx xx
752 * 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
753
754 **AB aa 02 03 xx xx xx 02 yy yy**  same as **AT+SEARCHaa=2,xx xx xx+yy yy**
755
756
757 ==== Fast command to handle MODBUS device ====
758
759 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]].
760
761 This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
762
763
764 AT+MBFUN has only two value:
765
766 * AT+MBFUN=1: Enable Modbus reading. And get response base on the MODBUS return
767
768 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.
769
770 * AT+MBFUN=0: Disable Modbus fast reading.
771
772 Example:
773
774 * AT+MBFUN=1 and AT+DATACUT1/AT+DATACUT2 are not configure (0,0,0).
775 * 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.
776 * 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.

900 A7 02 aa: Same as  AT+PARITY=aa  (aa value: 00 , 01 or 02)
901
902 A7 03 aa: Same as  AT+STOPBIT=aa  (aa value: 00 , 01 or 02)
903
904
905 ==== Control output power duration ====
906
907 User can set the output power duration before each sampling.
908
909 * AT Command:
910
911 Example:
912
913 AT+3V3T=1000 ~/~/ 3V3 output power will open 1s before each sampling.
914
915 AT+5VT=1000 ~/~/ +5V output power will open 1s before each sampling.
916
917
918 * LoRaWAN Downlink Command:

935
936 RS485-BL has a Controllable +3V3 output, user can use this output to power external sensor.
937
Xiaoling 6.2 938 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. 
Xiaoling 2.2 939
940
941 The +3V3 output time can be controlled by AT Command.
942
943 **AT+3V3T=1000**
944
945 Means set +3v3 valid time to have 1000ms. So, the real +3v3 output will actually have 1000ms + sampling time for other sensors.
946
947
948 By default, the AT+3V3T=0. This is a special case, means the +3V3 output is always on at any time

964
965
966 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.

1069 1. Make sure the LG01/02 gateway RX frequency is exactly the same as AT+CHS setting.
1070 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.
1071 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

1127
1128 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]].
