Xiaoling 2.2 365
Xiaoling 15.6 366 (((
Xiaoling 35.2 367 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 2.2 368
369 To save the LoRaWAN network bandwidth, we might need to read data from different sensors and combine their valid value into a short payload.
370
371 This section describes how to achieve above goals.
372
Xiaoling 35.2 373 During each sampling, the RS485-LN can support 15 commands to read sensors. And combine the return to one or several uplink payloads.
Xiaoling 2.2 374
375
Xiaoling 35.2 376 **Each RS485 commands include two parts:**
Xiaoling 2.2 377
Xiaoling 35.2 378 ~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 2.2 379
Xiaoling 35.2 380 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 2.2 381
Xiaoling 35.4 382 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 2.2 383
384
385 After we got the valid value from each RS485 commands, we need to combine them together with the command **AT+DATAUP**.
386
387
388 Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.
389
390
Xiaoling 35.2 391 **AT+COMMANDx : **This command will be sent to RS485 devices during each sampling, Max command length is 14 bytes. The grammar is:
392

398
399 **m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**
400 )))
401
402 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.
403
Xiaoling 35.2 404 In the RS485-LN, we should use this command AT+COMMAND1=01 03 0B B8 00 02,1 for the same.
Xiaoling 2.2 405
406
407 **AT+DATACUTx : **This command defines how to handle the return from AT+COMMANDx, max return length is 45 bytes.

614
615 * 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.
616
617 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:

622
623 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.
624
625
626 **Example 2** ~-~-> Configure with requesting uplink and original downlink command (**YY=FF**)
