Modbus RTU Single Relay Module DC7-24V RS232 TTL UART Board
Modbus RTU Single Relay Module — DC7-24V | RS232 / TTL UART
Take precise control of your digital and power switching projects with this compact, single-channel Modbus RTU relay module. Built around a mature and stable 8-bit MCU and a MAX3232 level-conversion chip, it communicates over the industry-standard RS232 or TTL UART interface and supports the widely used Modbus RTU protocol — making it an ideal building block for industrial automation, home automation, PLCs, and DIY electronics projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What communication protocols does this relay module support?
A: The module supports the standard Modbus RTU protocol over both RS232 and TTL UART interfaces, making it compatible with a wide range of PLCs, microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.), and industrial controllers.
Q: What baud rates are available, and are settings saved after a power cycle?
A: Supported baud rates are 4800, 9600, and 19200 bps. The default is 9600 bps. Both baud rate and device address settings are saved to non-volatile memory, so they are retained even after power is removed.
Q: What is the maximum load the onboard relay can switch?
A: The onboard relay is rated for 10A at 250VAC or 10A at 30VDC, with a mechanical endurance of up to 100,000 operations. It also features built-in diode protection to guard against inductive flyback.
Q: Can this module be used for both digital input detection and relay output simultaneously?
A: Yes. The module supports 1 optocoupler input (DC 3.3–24V) for digital signal detection and 1 relay output independently. Note that the optocoupler input is for detection purposes only and cannot directly trigger the relay — relay control is handled exclusively via Modbus RTU commands.
