5. Kurulum ve Kurulum
5.1 Güç Kaynağı Bağlantısı
Connect a 7V to 36V DC power supply to the designated power input terminals on the module. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -). The module features an onboard voltage regulator and power supply isolation for stable operation.
5.2 RS485 Arayüz Bağlantısı
Connect the RS485 A+ and B- terminals of the module to your RS485 master device (e.g., a computer via a USB to RS485 converter). For multi-device setups, ensure proper cascading and consider using RS485 repeaters for long communication distances.

5.3 Röle Çıkış Bağlantısı
Each of the 4 relay channels provides Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts, along with a Common (COM) terminal. Connect your target device (e.g., light, motor, valve) to the appropriate relay contacts based on your control requirements. The high current screw terminals are designed for secure wiring of devices up to 30A.

6. Kullanım Talimatları
6.1 Modbus RTU İletişimi
The module communicates using the standard Modbus RTU protocol over the RS485 interface. You can send Modbus commands from a master device to control the relays and read their status. The device address is configurable from 1 to 255.
For detailed Modbus command structures and register maps, refer to the official Waveshare Wiki resources.
6.2 Röle Kontrolü
Relays can be controlled individually or in groups using Modbus commands. The module supports standard ON/OFF commands. Additionally, a flash-on/flash-off function allows a relay to be activated for a specified duration before automatically deactivating.
6.3 LED Göstergeleri
- STA (Durum) LED'i: Flashes continuously when the Microcontroller Unit (MCU) is operating normally.
- TXD (Transmit) LED: Lights up when the module is sending data over RS485.
- RXD (Receive) LED: Lights up when the module is receiving data over RS485.
These indicators provide visual feedback on the module's operational status and communication activity.
