Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What communication interfaces does this relay module support?
A: This relay module supports both RS485 and CAN bus interfaces, and communicates using the standard Modbus RTU protocol. This makes it compatible with a wide range of PLCs, HMIs, microcontrollers, and SCADA systems.
Q: What is the input voltage range for the optocoupler inputs?
A: The optocoupler inputs accept signal voltages from DC 3.3V to 24V, providing full electrical isolation between your control signal and the relay circuit — ideal for mixed-voltage environments.
Q: Can this module switch AC loads?
A: Yes. Each of the two relay channels is rated at 10A / 250V AC (and 10A / 30V DC), making it suitable for switching a variety of AC and DC loads in both residential and industrial control applications.
Q: How do I configure the device address and baud rate?
A: The device address is configurable from 1 to 255 (factory default is 255), and the default communication baud rate is 9600 bps. Both can be adjusted via Modbus RTU commands to suit your network configuration.
