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

350
351 **m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**
352 )))
353
354 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.
355
Xiaoling 35.2 356 In the RS485-LN, we should use this command AT+COMMAND1=01 03 0B B8 00 02,1 for the same.

537
538 * **AT Command**

546
547 * **Downlink Payload**
548
549 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
550
551 Where:
552
553 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
554 * NN: The length of RS485 command
555 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
556 * YY: How many bytes will be uplink from the return of this RS485 command,
557 ** if YY=0, RS485-LN will execute the downlink command without uplink;
558 ** if YY>0, RS485-LN will uplink total YY bytes from the output of this RS485 command; Fport=200
559 ** if YY=FF, RS485-LN will uplink RS485 output with the downlink command content; Fport=200.
560
561 **Example 1** ~-~-> Configure without ask for uplink (YY=0)
562
563 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
564
565 * 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.
566
567 * 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.
568
569 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
570
571 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
572
573 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
574
575 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.
576
577
578 **Example 2** ~-~-> Configure with requesting uplink and original downlink command (**YY=FF**)
579
580 User in IoT server send a downlink command: (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 08 00 04 00 01 YY**
581
582
583 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:
584
585 **A8** (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**0A 08 00 04 00  **(% style="color:red" %)**01 06** ** **(% style="color:green" %)**0A 08 00 04 00 00**

Xiaoling 47.2 816 == 3.6 Listening mode for RS485 network ==
Xiaoling 42.3 817
Xiaoling 47.2 818 This feature support since firmware v1.4
819
820 RS485-LN supports listening mode, it can listen the RS485 network packets and send them via LoRaWAN uplink. Below is the structure. The blue arrow shows the RS485 network packets to RS485-LN.
821
822 [[image:image-20220602171200-8.png||height="567" width="1007"]]
823
824 To enable the listening mode, use can run the command AT+RXMODE.

829 |(% style="width:161px" %)AT+RXMODE=1,10 |(% style="width:337px" %)Enable listening mode 1, if RS485-LN has received more than 10 RS485 commands from the network. RS485-LN will send these commands via LoRaWAN uplinks.
830 |(% style="width:161px" %)AT+RXMODE=2,500|(% style="width:337px" %)Enable listening mode 2, RS485-LN will capture and send a 500ms content once from the first detect of character. Max value is 65535 ms
831 |(% style="width:161px" %)AT+RXMODE=0,0|(% style="width:337px" %)Disable listening mode. This is the default settings.

842
843 There is a two Modbus commands in the RS485 network as below:
844
845 The Modbus master send a command: (% style="background-color:#ffc000" %)01 03 00 00 00 02 c4 0b
846
847 And Modbus slave reply with: (% style="background-color:green" %)01 03 04 00 00 00 00 fa 33
848
849 RS485-LN will capture both and send the uplink: (% style="background-color:#ffc000" %)01 03 00 00 00 02 c4 0b  (% style="background-color:green" %)01 03 04 00 00 00 00 fa 33
