626
627 There are two kinds of Commands:
628
629 * **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

645
646 RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.
647
648 * AT Command
649
650 **AT+MOD=1** ~/~/ Set to support RS485-MODBUS type sensors. User can connect multiply RS485 , Modbus sensors to the A / B pins.

661 ==== [[RS485 Debug Command>>path:#downlink_A8]] (AT+CFGDEV) ====
662
663 This command is used to configure the RS485 or TTL sensors; they won’t be used during sampling.
664
665 * AT Command
666
667 AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m
668
669 m: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command.
670
671
672
673 * Downlink Payload
674
675 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
676
677 Where:
678
679 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
680 * NN: The length of RS485 command
681 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
682 * 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
683
684 **Example 1:**
685
686 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
687
688 * 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.
689
690 * 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.
691
692 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
693
694 **A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**: to activate the RS485 Alarm
695
696 **A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**: to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
697
698 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.
699

710 ==== Set Payload version ====
711
712 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.
713
714 * AT Command:
715
716 AT+PAYVER: Set PAYVER field = 1
717
718
719 * Downlink Payload:

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

762 **AF 03 02 06 10 01 05 06 09 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**16**,**1**,**5+6+9+10**
763
764 **AF 03 02 06 0B 02 05 07 08 0A 00**: Same as AT+DATACUT3=**11**,**2**,**5~~7+8~~10**
765
766
767 0xAB downlink command can be used for set AT+SEARCHx
768
769 Example: **AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx** (03 here means there are total 3 bytes after 03) So
770
771 * AB aa 01 03 xx xx xx  same as AT+SEARCHaa=1,xx xx xx
772 * 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
773
774 **AB aa 02 03 xx xx xx 02 yy yy**  same as **AT+SEARCHaa=2,xx xx xx+yy yy**
775
776
777 ==== Fast command to handle MODBUS device ====
778
779 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]].
780
781 This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
782
783
784 AT+MBFUN has only two value:
785
786 * AT+MBFUN=1: Enable Modbus reading. And get response base on the MODBUS return
787
788 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.
789
790 * AT+MBFUN=0: Disable Modbus fast reading.
791
792 Example:
793
794 * AT+MBFUN=1 and AT+DATACUT1/AT+DATACUT2 are not configure (0,0,0).
795 * 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.
796 * 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.

812
813 Default value: 0, range:  0 ~~ 5 seconds
814
815
816 * AT Command:

1147
1148 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]].
