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.

888

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]]

901
902
903 ==== **Choose Device Type (RS485 or TTL)** ====
904
905 RS485-BL can connect to either RS485 sensors or TTL sensor. User need to specify what type of sensor need to connect.

928

930
931 * **AT Command**
932
933 (% class="box infomessage" %)
934 (((
935 **AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**
936 )))
937
938 m: 0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command.
939
940
941 * **Downlink Payload**
942
943 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
944
945 Where:
946
947 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
948 * NN: The length of RS485 command
949 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
950 * 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
951
952 **Example 1:**
953
954 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
955
956 * 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.
957
958 * 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.
959
960 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
961
962 (% style="color:#037691" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
963
964 (% style="color:#037691" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
965
966 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.
967
968
969 **Example 2:**
970
971 Check TTL Sensor return:

980
981 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.
982
983 * **AT Command:**
984

1034
1035 * MM: the ATCOMMAND or AT+DATACUT to be set. Value from 01 ~~ 0F,
1036 * NN:  0: no CRC; 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 2: set the AT+DATACUT value.

1064
1065 This command is valid since v1.3 firmware version
1066
1067
1068 **AT+MBFUN has only two value:**

1071
1072 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.
1073
1074 * **AT+MBFUN=0**: Disable Modbus fast reading.
1075
1076 **Example:**
1077
1078 * AT+MBFUN=1 and AT+DATACUT1/AT+DATACUT2 are not configure (0,0,0).
1079 * 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.
