Xiaoling 35.2 316 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 2.2 317
318 To save the LoRaWAN network bandwidth, we might need to read data from different sensors and combine their valid value into a short payload.
319
320 This section describes how to achieve above goals.
321
Xiaoling 35.2 322 During each sampling, the RS485-LN can support 15 commands to read sensors. And combine the return to one or several uplink payloads.
Xiaoling 2.2 323
324
Xiaoling 35.2 325 **Each RS485 commands include two parts:**
Xiaoling 2.2 326
Xiaoling 35.2 327 ~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 2.2 328
Xiaoling 35.2 329 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 2.2 330
Xiaoling 35.4 331 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 2.2 332
333
334 After we got the valid value from each RS485 commands, we need to combine them together with the command **AT+DATAUP**.
335
336
337 Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.
338
339
Xiaoling 35.2 340 **AT+COMMANDx : **This command will be sent to RS485 devices during each sampling, Max command length is 14 bytes. The grammar is:

347
348 **m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**
349 )))
350
351 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.
352

533 * **AT Command**

536 (((
537 **AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**

541
542 * **Downlink Payload**
543
544 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
545
546 Where:
547
548 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
549 * NN: The length of RS485 command
550 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
551 * YY: How many bytes will be uplink from the return of this RS485 command,
552 ** if YY=0, RS485-LN will execute the downlink command without uplink;
553 ** if YY>0, RS485-LN will uplink total YY bytes from the output of this RS485 command; Fport=200
554 ** if YY=FF, RS485-LN will uplink RS485 output with the downlink command content; Fport=200.
555
556 **Example 1** ~-~-> Configure without ask for uplink (YY=0)
557
558 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
559
560 * 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.
561
562 * 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.
563
564 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
565
566 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
567
568 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
569
570 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.
571
572
573 **Example 2** ~-~-> Configure with requesting uplink and original downlink command (**YY=FF**)
574
575 User in IoT server send a downlink command: (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 08 00 04 00 01 YY**
576
577
578 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:
579
580 **A8** (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**0A 08 00 04 00  **(% style="color:red" %)**01 06** ** **(% style="color:green" %)**0A 08 00 04 00 00**
