910
911 AT+MBFUN is valid since v1.3 firmware version. The command is for fast configure to read Modbus devices. It is only valid for the devices which follow the [[MODBUS-RTU protocol>>url:https://www.modbustools.com/modbus.html]].
912
913 This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
914
915
916 AT+MBFUN has only two value:
917
918 * AT+MBFUN=1: Enable Modbus reading. And get response base on the MODBUS return
919
920 AT+MBFUN=1, device can auto read the Modbus function code: 01, 02, 03 or 04. AT+MBFUN has lower priority vs AT+DATACUT command. If AT+DATACUT command is configured, AT+MBFUN will be ignore.
921
922 * AT+MBFUN=0: Disable Modbus fast reading.
923
924 Example:

1279
1280 The RS485-BL can support max 32 RS485 devices. Each uplink command of RS485-BL can support max 16 different RS485 command. So RS485-BL can support max 16 RS485 devices pre-program in the device for uplink.
