454 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.

620
621 User can configure RS485-BL via [[AT Commands >>path:#_​Using_the_AT]]or LoRaWAN Downlink Commands
622
623 There are two kinds of Commands:
624
625 * **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
626
627 * **Sensor Related Commands**: These commands are special designed for RS485-BL.  User can see these commands below:

639
640 ==== Choose Device Type (RS485 or TTL) ====
641
642 RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.
643
644 * AT Command
645
646 **AT+MOD=1** ~/~/ Set to support RS485-MODBUS type sensors. User can connect multiply RS485 , Modbus sensors to the A / B pins.
647
648 **AT+MOD=2** ~/~/ Set to support TTL Level sensors, User can connect one TTL Sensor to the TXD/RXD/GND pins.

654
655
656
657 ==== [[RS485 Debug Command>>path:#downlink_A8]] (AT+CFGDEV) ====
658
659 This command is used to configure the RS485 or TTL sensors; they won’t be used during sampling.
660
661 * AT Command
662
663 AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m
664
665 m: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command.
666
667
668
669 * Downlink Payload
670
671 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
672
673 Where:
674
675 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
676 * NN: The length of RS485 command
677 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
678 * 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
679
680 **Example 1:**
681
682 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
683
684 * 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.
685
686 * 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.
687
688 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
689
690 **A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: to activate the RS485 Alarm
691
692 **A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**: to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
693
694 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.
695
696
697 **Example 2:**
698

703
704
705
706 ==== Set Payload version ====
707
708 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.
709
710 * AT Command:
711
712 AT+PAYVER: Set PAYVER field = 1
713
714
715 * Downlink Payload:
716
717 0xAE 01   à Set PAYVER field =  0x01
718
719 0xAE 0F   à Set PAYVER field =  0x0F
720
721
722 ==== Set RS485 Sampling Commands ====
723
724 AT+COMMANDx, AT+DATACUTx and AT+SEARCHx
725
726 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]].
727
728
729 * AT Command:
730
731 AT+COMMANDx: Configure RS485 read command to sensor.
732
733 AT+DATACUTx: Configure how to handle return from RS485 devices.
734
735 AT+SEARCHx: Configure search command
736
737
738 * Downlink Payload:
739
740 0xAF downlink command can be used to set AT+COMMANDx or AT+DATACUTx.
741
742 Note: if user use AT+COMMANDx to add a new command, he also need to send AT+DATACUTx downlink.
743
744 Format: AF MM NN LL XX XX XX XX YY
745
746 Where:
747
748 * MM: the ATCOMMAND or AT+DATACUT to be set. Value from 01 ~~ 0F,
749 * NN: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 2: set the AT+DATACUT value.
750 * LL: The length of AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
751 * XX XX XX XX: AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
752 * 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.
753
754 Example:
755
756 **AF 03 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: Same as AT+COMMAND3=0A 05 00 04 00 01,1

758 **AF 03 02 06 10 01 05 06 09 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**16**,**1**,**5+6+9+10**
759
760 **AF 03 02 06 0B 02 05 07 08 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**11**,**2**,**5~~7+8~~10**
761
762
763 0xAB downlink command can be used for set AT+SEARCHx
764
765 Example: **AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx** (03 here means there are total 3 bytes after 03) So
766
767 * AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx  same as AT+SEARCHaa=1,xx xx xx
768 * 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
769
770 **AB aa 02 03 xx xx xx 02 yy yy**  same as **AT+SEARCHaa=2,xx xx xx+yy yy**
771
772
773 ==== Fast command to handle MODBUS device ====
774
775 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]].
776
777 This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
778
779
780 AT+MBFUN has only two value:
781
782 * AT+MBFUN=1: Enable Modbus reading. And get response base on the MODBUS return
783
784 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.
785
786 * AT+MBFUN=0: Disable Modbus fast reading.
787
788 Example:
789
790 * AT+MBFUN=1 and AT+DATACUT1/AT+DATACUT2 are not configure (0,0,0).
791 * 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.
792 * 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.

806
807 Some Modbus device has slow action to send replies. This command is used to configure the RS485-BL to use longer time to wait for their action.
808
809 Default value: 0, range:  0 ~~ 5 seconds
810
811
812 * AT Command:

862
863 The AT+COMMANDx and AT+DATACUTx settings are stored in special location, user can use below command to clear them.
864
865
866 * AT Command:
867
868 **AT+CMDEAR=mm,nn**   mm: start position of erase ,nn: stop position of erase
869
870 Etc. AT+CMDEAR=1,10 means erase AT+COMMAND1/AT+DATACUT1 to AT+COMMAND10/AT+DATACUT10

1143
1144 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]].
