Xiaoling 35.2 313 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 2.2 314
315 To save the LoRaWAN network bandwidth, we might need to read data from different sensors and combine their valid value into a short payload.
316
317 This section describes how to achieve above goals.
318
Xiaoling 35.2 319 During each sampling, the RS485-LN can support 15 commands to read sensors. And combine the return to one or several uplink payloads.
Xiaoling 2.2 320
321
Xiaoling 35.2 322 **Each RS485 commands include two parts:**
Xiaoling 2.2 323
Xiaoling 35.2 324 ~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 2.2 325
Xiaoling 35.2 326 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 2.2 327
Xiaoling 35.4 328 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 2.2 329
330
331 After we got the valid value from each RS485 commands, we need to combine them together with the command **AT+DATAUP**.
332
333
334 Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.
335
336

344
345 **m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**

347
348 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.
349

529 This command is used to configure the RS485 devices; they won’t be used during sampling.
530
531 * **AT Command**
532
533 (% class="box infomessage" %)
534 (((
535 **AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**

539
540 * **Downlink Payload**
541
542 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
543
544 Where:
545
546 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
547 * NN: The length of RS485 command
548 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
549 * YY: How many bytes will be uplink from the return of this RS485 command,
550 ** if YY=0, RS485-LN will execute the downlink command without uplink;
551 ** if YY>0, RS485-LN will uplink total YY bytes from the output of this RS485 command; Fport=200
552 ** if YY=FF, RS485-LN will uplink RS485 output with the downlink command content; Fport=200.
553
554 **Example 1** ~-~-> Configure without ask for uplink (YY=0)
555
556 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
557
558 * 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.
559
560 * 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.
561
562 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
563
564 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
565
566 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
567
568 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.
569
570
571 **Example 2** ~-~-> Configure with requesting uplink and original downlink command (**YY=FF**)
572
573 User in IoT server send a downlink command: (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 08 00 04 00 01 YY**
574
575
576 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:
577
578 **A8** (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**0A 08 00 04 00  **(% style="color:red" %)**01 06** ** **(% style="color:green" %)**0A 08 00 04 00 00**
