Xiaoling 35.2 307 During each sampling, we need confirm what commands we need to send to the RS485 sensors to read data. After the RS485 sensors send back the value, it normally include some bytes and we only need a few from them for a shorten payload.
Xiaoling 2.2 308
309 To save the LoRaWAN network bandwidth, we might need to read data from different sensors and combine their valid value into a short payload.
310
311 This section describes how to achieve above goals.
312
Xiaoling 35.2 313 During each sampling, the RS485-LN can support 15 commands to read sensors. And combine the return to one or several uplink payloads.
Xiaoling 2.2 314
315
Xiaoling 35.2 316 **Each RS485 commands include two parts:**
Xiaoling 2.2 317
Xiaoling 35.2 318 ~1. What commands RS485-LN will send to the RS485 sensors. There are total 15 commands from **AT+COMMAD1**, **ATCOMMAND2**,…, to **AT+COMMANDF**. All commands are of same grammar.
Xiaoling 2.2 319
Xiaoling 35.2 320 2. How to get wanted value the from RS485 sensors returns from by 1). There are total 15 AT Commands to handle the return, commands are **AT+DATACUT1**,**AT+DATACUT2**,…, **AT+DATACUTF** corresponding to the commands from 1). All commands are of same grammar.
Xiaoling 2.2 321
Xiaoling 35.4 322 3. Some RS485 device might has longer delay on reply, so user can use AT+CMDDL to set the timeout for getting reply after the RS485 command is sent. For example **AT+CMDDL1=1000** to send the open time to 1000ms
Xiaoling 2.2 323
324
325 After we got the valid value from each RS485 commands, we need to combine them together with the command **AT+DATAUP**.
326
327
328 Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.
329
330
Xiaoling 35.2 331 **AT+COMMANDx : **This command will be sent to RS485 devices during each sampling, Max command length is 14 bytes. The grammar is:

338
339 **m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**
340 )))
341
342 For example, if we have a RS485 sensor. The command to get sensor value is: 01 03 0B B8 00 02 46 0A. Where 01 03 0B B8 00 02 is the Modbus command to read the register 0B B8 where stored the sensor value. The 46 0A is the CRC-16/MODBUS which calculate manually.
343
Xiaoling 35.2 344 In the RS485-LN, we should use this command AT+COMMAND1=01 03 0B B8 00 02,1 for the same.

522 This command is used to configure the RS485 devices; they won’t be used during sampling.
523
524 * **AT Command**
525
526 (% class="box infomessage" %)
527 (((
528 **AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**
529 )))
530
531 m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command
532
533 * **Downlink Payload**
534
535 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
536
537 Where:
538
539 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
540 * NN: The length of RS485 command
541 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
542 * YY: How many bytes will be uplink from the return of this RS485 command,
543 ** if YY=0, RS485-LN will execute the downlink command without uplink;
544 ** if YY>0, RS485-LN will uplink total YY bytes from the output of this RS485 command; Fport=200
545 ** if YY=FF, RS485-LN will uplink RS485 output with the downlink command content; Fport=200.
546
547 **Example 1** ~-~-> Configure without ask for uplink (YY=0)
548
549 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
550
551 * 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.
552
553 * 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.
554
555 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
556
557 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
558
559 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
560
561 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.
562
563
564 **Example 2** ~-~-> Configure with requesting uplink and original downlink command (**YY=FF**)
565
566 User in IoT server send a downlink command: (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 08 00 04 00 01 YY**
567
568
569 RS485-LN got this downlink command and send (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**0A 08 00 04 00 01 **(%%)to Modbus network. One of the RS485 sensor in the network send back Modbus reply **0A 08 00 04 00 00**. RS485-LN get this reply and combine with the original downlink command and uplink. The uplink message is:
570
571 **A8** (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**0A 08 00 04 00  **(% style="color:red" %)**01 06** ** **(% style="color:green" %)**0A 08 00 04 00 00**

579 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.
