Overview

Industrial 6-Channel Relay Module For Raspberry Pi Zero, RS485/CAN Bus, Power Supply Isolation, Photocoupler Isolation.

Features

  • RS485 half-duplex communication: using SP3485, UART control, auto RX/TX switch.
  • CAN half-duplex communication: using MCP2515 + SN65HVD230 solution, SPI control.
  • Onboard unibody power supply isolation, provides stable isolated voltage, needs no extra power supply for the isolated terminal.
  • Onboard photocoupler isolation, prevent interference from external high-voltage circuit connected to the relay.
  • Onboard TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppresses surge voltage and transient spike voltage in the circuit, lightningproof & anti-electrostatic.
  • Onboard resettable fuses and protection diodes, ensuring current/voltage stable output, preventing over current/voltage, and better shock-resistance performance.
  • High-quality relay, contact rating: ≤10A 250V AC or ≤10A 30V DC.
  • ABS protection enclosure with rail-mount support, easy to install, safe to use.

Install libraries

  • Install BCM2835 libraries:
#Open the Raspberry Pi terminal and run the following command
wget http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.71.tar.gz
tar zxvf bcm2835-1.71.tar.gz 
cd bcm2835-1.71/
sudo ./configure && sudo make && sudo make check && sudo make install
# For more, you can refer to the official website at: http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/
  • Install WiringPi libraries:
#Open the Raspberry Pi terminal and run the following command
cd
sudo apt-get install wiringpi
#For Raspberry Pi systems after May 2019 (earlier than that can be executed without), an upgrade may be required:
wget https://project-downloads.drogon.net/wiringpi-latest.deb
sudo dpkg -i wiringpi-latest.deb
gpio -v
# Run gpio -v and version 2.52 will appear, if it doesn't it means there was an installation error

# Bullseye branch system using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi
cd WiringPi
. /build
gpio -v
# Run gpio -v and version 2.70 will appear, if it doesn't it means there was an installation error
  • Python
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-serial
sudo pip install python-can

Download Examples

Open a terminal and run the following commands to download the demo codes: 

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/2/2f/RPi_Zero_Relay_Code.7z
7z x RPi_Zero_Relay_Code.7z  -r -o./RPi_Zero_Relay_Code
sudo chmod 777 -R RPi_Zero_Relay_Code/

CAN Bus

Configuration

  • Modify the config.txt file:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add the following lines to the config.txt file and save:
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25,spimaxfrequency=3000000
  • Reboot.
sudo reboot
  • Check if the driver is initialized normally.
dmesg | grep -i '\(can\|spi\)'
The result should be like the picture:

If the MCP2515 driver is not initialized normally you need to reboot and check if the devices are connected properly (H to H and L to L).

C examples

  • Run the receive example:
cd ~/RPi_Zero_Relay_Code/CAN/wiringPi/receive/
make clean
make
sudo ./can_receive
After running the received code, the terminal is waiting for data.

  • Run the Send examples:
cd RPi_Zero_Relay_Code/CAN/wiringPi/send/
make clean
make
sudo ./can_send
RPi Zero Relay CAN 1.jpg
Type data to send.

Python examples

  • Open a terminal and run the commands:
cd RPi_Zero_Relay_Code/CAN/python/
#For receiving：
sudo python can_reveive.py
#For sending:
sudo python can_send.py

Connect to other CAN device

If you need to connect the RPi Zero Relay to other CAN devices, please note that:

  • Please check the connection, it should be H to H and L to L.
  • Make sure that the baud rate of both sides is the same, the default baud rate of examples is 100K.
  • Check if the CAN ID of both sides is the same.
  • If data is always lost while transmitting, please decrease the baud rate and test it again.

RS485 Interface

Configuration

  • Open a terminal and run the command.
sudo raspi-config
Choose Interfacing Options -> Serial -> No -> Yes.
Disable the login shell function and enable the hardware serial port.
  • Reboot
sudo reboot
  • Connect the device, A to A and B to B.

C examples

  • Run the receive example:
cd RPi_Zero_Relay_Code/485/WiringPi/send
make clean
make
sudo ./485_receive
After running the receive code, the terminal is waiting for data.

  • Run the Send example:
cd RPi_Zero_Relay_Code/485/WiringPi/send
make clean
make
sudo ./485_send
RPi Zero Relay 485 1.jpg
  • Input data and send:
RPi Zero Relay 485 3.jpg
  • The receiving terminal receives and prints:

Python examples

Open a terminal and run the commands: 

cd RPi_Zero_Relay_Code/485/python/
#Receive example：
sudo python receive.py
#Send example：
sudo python send.py

Troubleshooting

If the RS485 cannot work normally, please check:

  • Please check if you have disabled the login shell function.
  • Please check the connection, it should be A to A and B to B.
  • Please test with USB to RS485, make sure that all the settings are correct.
