Xiaoling 2.2 318
Xiaoling 15.6 319 (((
Xiaoling 35.2 320 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 2.2 321
322 To save the LoRaWAN network bandwidth, we might need to read data from different sensors and combine their valid value into a short payload.
323
324 This section describes how to achieve above goals.
325
Xiaoling 35.2 326 During each sampling, the RS485-LN can support 15 commands to read sensors. And combine the return to one or several uplink payloads.
Xiaoling 2.2 327
328
Xiaoling 35.2 329 **Each RS485 commands include two parts:**
Xiaoling 2.2 330
Xiaoling 35.2 331 ~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 2.2 332
Xiaoling 35.2 333 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 2.2 334
Xiaoling 35.4 335 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 2.2 336
337
338 After we got the valid value from each RS485 commands, we need to combine them together with the command **AT+DATAUP**.
339
340
341 Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.
342
343
Xiaoling 35.2 344 **AT+COMMANDx : **This command will be sent to RS485 devices during each sampling, Max command length is 14 bytes. The grammar is:

351
352 **m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**
353 )))
354
355 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.
356
Xiaoling 35.2 357 In the RS485-LN, we should use this command AT+COMMAND1=01 03 0B B8 00 02,1 for the same.

537
538 This command is used to configure the RS485 devices; they won’t be used during sampling.
539
540 * **AT Command**
541
542 (% class="box infomessage" %)
543 (((
544 **AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**

548
549 * **Downlink Payload**
550
551 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
552
553 Where:
554
555 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
556 * NN: The length of RS485 command
557 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
558 * YY: How many bytes will be uplink from the return of this RS485 command,
559 ** if YY=0, RS485-LN will execute the downlink command without uplink;
560 ** if YY>0, RS485-LN will uplink total YY bytes from the output of this RS485 command; Fport=200
561 ** if YY=FF, RS485-LN will uplink RS485 output with the downlink command content; Fport=200.
562
563 **Example 1** ~-~-> Configure without ask for uplink (YY=0)
564
565 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
566
567 * 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.
568
569 * 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.
570
571 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
572
573 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
574
575 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
576
577 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.
578
579
580 **Example 2** ~-~-> Configure with requesting uplink and original downlink command (**YY=FF**)
581
582 User in IoT server send a downlink command: (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 08 00 04 00 01 YY**
583
584
585 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:
586
587 **A8** (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**0A 08 00 04 00  **(% style="color:red" %)**01 06** ** **(% style="color:green" %)**0A 08 00 04 00 00**
