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.

890
891 There are two kinds of Commands:
892
893 * (% 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]]
894
895 * (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**Sensor Related Commands**(%%): These commands are special designed for RS485-BL.  User can see these commands below:

897
898

906
907
908 ==== **Choose Device Type (RS485 or TTL)** ====
909
910 RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.

935
936 * **AT Command**
937
938 (% class="box infomessage" %)
939 (((
940 **AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**

942
943 m: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command.
944
945
946 * **Downlink Payload**
947
948 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
949
950 Where:
951
952 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
953 * NN: The length of RS485 command
954 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
955 * 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
956
957 **Example 1:**
958
959 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
960
961 * 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.
962
963 * 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.
964
965 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
966
967 (% style="color:#037691" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
968
969 (% style="color:#037691" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
970
971 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.
972
973
974 **Example 2:**
975
976 Check TTL Sensor return:

985
986 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.

1039
1040 * MM: the ATCOMMAND or AT+DATACUT to be set. Value from 01 ~~ 0F,

1067 ==== **Fast command to handle MODBUS device** ====
1068
1069 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]].
1070
1071 This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
1072
1073
1074 **AT+MBFUN has only two value:**
1075
1076 * **AT+MBFUN=1**: Enable Modbus reading. And get response base on the MODBUS return
1077
1078 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.
1079
1080 * **AT+MBFUN=0**: Disable Modbus fast reading.
1081
1082 **Example:**
1083
1084 * AT+MBFUN=1 and AT+DATACUT1/AT+DATACUT2 are not configure (0,0,0).
1085 * AT+COMMAND1= 01 03 00 10 00 08,1 ~-~-> read slave address 01 , function code 03, start address 00 01, quantity of registers 00 08.
