RS485 Control Tutorial

RS485 Control

Connect the ESP32-S3-ETH-8DI-8RO device using RS485, and send data to ESP32-S3-ETH-8DI-8RO to control the opening and closing of each relay. Communication is performed at a default baud rate of 9600.

06 05 00 FF FF 00 BD BD	Turn on all relays
06 05 00 FF 00 00 FC 4D	Turn off all relays

Hardware Connection

Here we use the example of USB TO RS232/485 Converter for demonstration

ESP32-S3-Relay-6CH	USB-TO-RS232-485
RS485 - A+	Tx B - A+
RS485 - B-	Rx B - B-

Software Operation

Use SSCOM to send data
Open the SSCOM software and select the COM port corresponding to the Port B connected above
Open the serial port and use the Send Multi Char function to quickly send commands

You can control the relays with the following commands
