3.2 Koneksi Jaringan
Connect the module to your network using a standard Ethernet cable. If using PoE, ensure your network equipment supports it. The module supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Mode, UDP Multicast, HTTP, and MQTT communication modes.
3.3 Sambungan Relai
Each of the 8 relay channels provides 1 Normally Open (NO) and 1 Normally Closed (NC) contact. The common (COM) terminal is also available. Ensure that the connected load's voltage and current do not exceed the relay's contact rating of ≤10A 250VAC/30VDC.
- For AC 220V devices, connect the device in series with the COM and NO/NC terminals.
- For DC 30V devices, connect the device in series with the COM and NO/NC terminals, observing polarity if necessary for the device.

3.4 Rail-Mount Installation
The module is designed with an ABS protective enclosure for rail mounting. Simply clip the module onto a standard DIN rail in your control cabinet or enclosure.
4. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
4.1 Protokol Komunikasi
The module primarily communicates using Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols. Commands are sent via the Ethernet port to control the relays.
- Modbus RTU: Typically used over serial communication, but supported over Ethernet for compatibility.
- Modbus TCP: Standard protocol for Modbus communication over Ethernet networks.
Refer to the official Waveshare documentation or development resources for detailed Modbus register maps and command structures.
4.2 Flash-on, Flash-off Function
This feature allows you to momentarily activate a relay. By passing a specific argument with the control command, the relay will turn on for a set duration and then automatically turn off. Consult the programming guide for command syntax and timing parameters.
4.3 MQTT Control
The module supports control via MQTT protocol. This enables integration with IoT platforms and cloud services. An Alibaba Cloud MQTT application demo is available for reference, demonstrating how to publish commands and subscribe to status updates.
4.4 Indikator Status
Monitor the module's operational status using the onboard LEDs:
- RUN (Ethernet Port Indicator): Blinks in 2-second cycles when the Ethernet port is functioning normally.
- STA (MCU Indicator): Blinks when the Microcontroller Unit (MCU) is operating normally.
- TXD (Transmit Data Indicator): Lights up when the module is sending data.
- RXD (Receive Data Indicator): Lights up when the module is receiving data.
- Ethernet Port Green Indicator: Lights up when a network connection is established.
- Ethernet Port Yellow Indicator: Blinks to indicate data activity (transmitting/receiving).
