31 (((
32 RS485-BL can interface to RS485 sensor, 3.3v/5v UART sensor or interrupt sensor. RS485-BL provides (% style="color:blue" %)**a 3.3v output**(%%) and** (% style="color:blue" %)a 5v output(%%)** to power external sensors. Both output voltages are controllable to minimize the total system power consumption.

36 RS485-BL is IP67 (% style="color:blue" %)**waterproof**(%%) and powered by (% style="color:blue" %)**8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**(%%), it is designed for long term use for several years.

38
39 (((
40 RS485-BL runs standard (% style="color:blue" %)**LoRaWAN 1.0.3 in Class A**(%%). It can reach long transfer range and easy to integrate with LoRaWAN compatible gateway and IoT server.
41 )))
42
43 (((
44 For data uplink, RS485-BL sends user-defined commands to RS485 devices and gets the return from the RS485 devices. RS485-BL will process these returns data according to user-define rules to get the final payload and upload to LoRaWAN server.
45 )))
46
47 (((
48 For data downlink, RS485-BL runs in LoRaWAN Class A. When there is downlink commands from LoRaWAN server, RS485-BL will forward the commands from LoRaWAN server to RS485 devices.

52 Each RS485-BL pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, register these keys to LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

904
905 There are two kinds of Commands:
906
907 * (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**Common Commands**(%%): They should be available for each sensor, such as: change uplink interval, reset device. For firmware v1.3, user can find what common commands it supports: [[AT Commands and Downlink Command>>doc:Main.End Device AT Commands and Downlink Command.WebHome]]
908
909 * (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**Sensor Related Commands**(%%): These commands are special designed for RS485-BL.  User can see these commands below:

917
918
919 ==== **Choose Device Type (RS485 or TTL)** ====
920
921 RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.

945
946 * **AT Command**
947

949 (((
950 **AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**

954
955
956 * **Downlink Payload**
957
958 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
959
960 Where:
961
962 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
963 * NN: The length of RS485 command
964 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
965 * 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
966
967 **Example 1:**
968
969 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
970
971 * 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.
972
973 * 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.
974
975 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
976
977 (% style="color:#037691" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
978
979 (% style="color:#037691" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
980
981 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.
982
983
984 **Example 2:**
985

1077
1078 This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
1079

1084
1085 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.
1086
1087 * **AT+MBFUN=0**: Disable Modbus fast reading.
1088
1089 **Example:**

1272 RS485-BL has a Controllable +3V3 output, user can use this output to power external sensor.
1273
1274 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. 
1275
1276 The +3V3 output time can be controlled by AT Command.

1278
1279 (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+3V3T=1000**

1295
1296 (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+5VT=1000**
