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.

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
