Electrical Safety Precautions
- This product should be operated and used by professional electricians or technical personnel. During use, please ensure electrical safety and take protective measures such as anti-leakage and insulation.
- Before installing, maintaining, or replacing relay equipment, make sure to turn off the power and unplug the device.
- Do not attempt to dismantle relay equipment to avoid damaging the device or risking electric shock.
- Please properly install and place the relay equipment. Avoid using it in damp, overly hot, or flammable environments to prevent safety accidents due to improper installation or use.
Hardware Test
RS485 Test
- Connect the USB TO 485 to the target boards via cables, A-A and B-B connected as shown below:
- Download SSCOM Serial port debugging assistant and open it on the computer, open the corresponding port number, and set the baud rate as 9600. Click Multi-Char to open the Send Multi-Char window, and click the function to send the corresponding command.
- If you need to send other commands, choose SendHEX. For checksum validation, select ModbusCRC16. After entering the first six bytes of the command, clicking SEND will automatically add the CRC check code.
- For detailed control commands, please see the development protocol.
Modbus Poll Software
- The serial port software is not convenient to observe the data, you can choose Modbus Poll software to read the data. Download and install the Modbus Poll software.
- Open the software, select Setup->Read/Write Definition, select the actual device address for Slave ID, select 01 Read Coils function code for Function, and change Quantity to 16 channels. Click OK to confirm.
- Select Connection->Connect..., choose the corresponding serial port, set the baud rate to 9600, and select 8 Data bits and None Parity. Click OK to connect.
- After the connection is normal, you can check the current relay status. Select the corresponding channel, then double-click the status value to pop up the send page. Choose On or Off, then Click Send to control the relay opening and closing.
Demo Test
Note: RS485 can not be directly connected to the serial port of the Raspberry Pi, otherwise it may burn the device, you need to add 485 level conversion. For Raspberry Pi, it is recommended to work with the RS485 CAN HAT module. For NUCLEO-F103RB and Arduino, it is recommended to work with the RS485 CAN Shield module.
Raspberry Pi
Open the Raspberry Pi terminal and enter the following command to enter the configuration interface
sudo raspi-config Select Interfacing Options -> Serial, disable shell access, and enable the hardware serial port
Then restart Raspberry Pi:
sudo reboot
Open the /boot/config.txt file, find the following configuration statement to enable the serial port, if not, you can add it to the end of the file.
enable_uart=1
For Raspberry Pi 3B users, the serial port is used for Bluetooth and needs to be commented out:
#dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt
Then restart Raspberry Pi:
sudo reboot
Insert the RS485 CAN HAT into the Raspberry Pi, and connect the Modbus RTU Relay module to the RS485 CAN HAT through A and B.
If you are using other 485 devices, make sure to connect A-A, B-B.< br/>
Run the following commands to run the demo:
sudo apt-get install unzip wget https://files.waveshare.com/wiki/Modbus-RTU-Relay-16CH/Modbus_RTU_Relay_16CH_Code.zip unzip Modbus_RTU_Relay_16CH_Code.zip cd Modbus_RTU_Relay_16CH_Code/Python3 sudo python3 main.py
STM32
The STM32 demo is based on the NUCLEO-F103RB and RS485 CAN Shield module.
Find the STM32 demo file directory and open the STM32 project. Please note that the keil5 software is installed before use, and download the demo to the development board.
Normal operation of the relay module will sequentially open and then close the channels. The serial port will output the commands to be sent.
Arduino
The Arduino demo is based on the UNO PLUS and RS485 CAN Shield module.
Use the Arduino IDE to open the demo, select the corresponding development board, and download the demo.
Normal operation of the relay module will sequentially open and then close the channels. The serial port will output the commands to be sent.

FAQ
Answer:
- If the system is not Windows and you cannot use it normally, you can click on the official website link below and install the corresponding system driver to use it: https://ftdichip.com/drivers/d2xx-drivers/
Answer:
- It is compatible with multiple systems, supporting Win7/8/8.1/10/11, Mac, Linux, Android, WinCE, etc.
Answer:
- Remove the 120 ohm terminal resistor of RS485.
Answer:
- Supports USB to RS232, RS485 or TTL;
- Does not support RS232, RS485, TTL to USB at the same time
- RS232, RS485 and TTL cannot be converted to each other
Answer:
- No, RS232, RS485 and TTL cannot be converted to each other, supports USB to RS232, RS485 or TTL.
Answer:
- TTL and RS232 are full-duplex communication, you can short-circuit RXD and TXD for testing, RS485 is half-duplex communication, you can connect an external USB to RS485 for device test, the following figure is the loopback test for TTL:
Answer:
VCC is a power supply pin, which can be switched to 5V or 3.3V (50mA) to supply power to the connected device, if the device already has another external power supply, it can be left unconnected to VCC.
Answer:
- The module itself does not support Modbus, but supports the use of Modbus devices with onboard RS485 interface, as shown in the following figure:
- Modbus is a communication protocol that is mainly used for communication between devices in the field of industrial automation. RS485 is one of the commonly used physical layer transmission methods for Modbus. Therefore, converters/components that support the RS485 interface (of course including USB TO RS485) usually also support the Modbus protocol.
- However, the module only provides physical layer conversion, i.e., converting the USB interface to the RS485 interface, while Modbus communication needs to be implemented at the protocol layer.
- When understanding the Modbus protocol, you need to know the Modbus function codes and data format. Modbus has a variety of function codes, each function code corresponds to an operation, such as reading the coil state, reading the input state, reading the holding register, etc.
- For more details, please refer to Modbus temperature sensor demo
Answer:
It can be used without GND, and the GND signal may be more stable, and the GND can be connected for better performance, reliability and anti-interference ability, and it is recommended to connect GND for long-distance communication.
