	741
	742	==== Choose Device Type (RS485 or TTL) ====
	743
	744	RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.
	745
	746	* AT Command
	747
	748	AT+MOD=1 ~/~/ Set to support RS485-MODBUS type sensors. User can connect multiply RS485 , Modbus sensors to the A / B pins.
	749

	758
	759	==== [[RS485 Debug Command>>path:#downlink_A8]] (AT+CFGDEV) ====
	760
	761	This command is used to configure the RS485 or TTL sensors; they won’t be used during sampling.
	762
	763	* AT Command
	764
	765	AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m
	766
	767	m: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command.
	768
	769
	770
	771	* Downlink Payload
	772
	773	Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
	774
	775	Where:
	776
	777	* MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
	778	* NN: The length of RS485 command
	779	* XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
	780	* YY: How many bytes will be uplink from the return of this RS485 command, if YY=0, RS485-BL will execute the downlink command without uplink; if YY>0, RS485-BL will uplink total YY bytes from the output of this RS485 command
	781
	782	Example 1:
	783
	784	To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
	785
	786	* 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.
	787
	788	* 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.
	789
	790	So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
	791
	792	A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00: to activate the RS485 Alarm
	793
	794	A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00: to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
	795
	796	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.
	797
	798

	807
	808	==== Set Payload version ====
	809
	810	This is the first byte of the uplink payload. RS485-BL can connect to different sensors. User can set the PAYVER field to tell server how to decode the current payload.
	811
	812	* AT Command:
	813
	814	AT+PAYVER: Set PAYVER field = 1
	815
	816

	824	==== Set RS485 Sampling Commands ====
	825
	826	AT+COMMANDx, AT+DATACUTx and AT+SEARCHx
	827
	828	These three commands are used to configure how the RS485-BL polling data from Modbus device. Detail of usage please see : [[polling RS485 device>>path:#polling_485]].
	829
	830
	831	* AT Command:
	832
	833	AT+COMMANDx: Configure RS485 read command to sensor.
	834
	835	AT+DATACUTx: Configure how to handle return from RS485 devices.
	836
	837	AT+SEARCHx: Configure search command
	838
	839
	840	* Downlink Payload:
	841
	842	0xAF downlink command can be used to set AT+COMMANDx or AT+DATACUTx.
	843
	844	Note: if user use AT+COMMANDx to add a new command, he also need to send AT+DATACUTx downlink.
	845
	846	Format: AF MM NN LL XX XX XX XX YY
	847
	848	Where:
	849
	850	* MM: the ATCOMMAND or AT+DATACUT to be set. Value from 01 ~~ 0F,
	851	* NN: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 2: set the AT+DATACUT value.
	852	* LL: The length of AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
	853	* XX XX XX XX: AT+COMMAND or AT+DATACUT command
	854	* YY: If YY=0, RS485-BL will execute the downlink command without uplink; if YY=1, RS485-BL will execute an uplink after got this command.
	855
	856	Example:
	857

	1053
	1054	RS485-BL has a Controllable +3V3 output, user can use this output to power external sensor.
	1055
6.2	1056	The +3V3 output will be valid for every sampling. RS485-BL will enable +3V3 output before all sampling and disable the +3V3 after all sampling.
2.2	1057
	1058
	1059	The +3V3 output time can be controlled by AT Command.
	1060
	1061	AT+3V3T=1000
	1062
	1063	Means set +3v3 valid time to have 1000ms. So, the real +3v3 output will actually have 1000ms + sampling time for other sensors.
	1064
	1065
	1066	By default, the AT+3V3T=0. This is a special case, means the +3V3 output is always on at any time

	1077	The 5V output time can be controlled by AT Command.
	1078
	1079	AT+5VT=1000
	1080
	1081	Means set 5V valid time to have 1000ms. So, the real 5V output will actually have 1000ms + sampling time for other sensors.
	1082
	1083
	1084	By default, the AT+5VT=0. If the external sensor which require 5v and require more time to get stable state, user can use this command to increase the power ON duration for this sensor.
