The Three 40A/240V Relays RS485 Daisy-chainable HAT for Raspberry Pi can be accessed thru Modbus RTU protocol over RS-485 port. You can set-up the RS-485 port with 3relind command.
Example:
~$ 3relind 0 cfg485wr 1 9600 1 0 1
Set Modbus RTU , Baudrate: 9600bps, 1 Stop Bit, parity: None, slave address base: 1
~$ 3relind -h rs485wr
display the full set of options
The five address switches have a dual purpose. When the card is accessed from Raspberry Pi, the switches define the offset of the I2C address, permitting changing the adress to avoid adress conflict on the bus. When the card is accessed through MODBUS protocol over the RS485 port, the switches define the offset of the RS485 base address set by the software.
All modbus RTU object type with standard addresses are implemented : Coils, Discrete Inputs, Input registers, Holding registers.
