If you have a RS485 relay module, the module will alway be on to, that module will control a relay, that it turns on and off by command over the RS485 serial connection. **Q: Will this work with the usb 2.0 on an rpi 3b? currently, when i hook plug it in, the os finds the adapter but then crashes the rs485 bus.** A: Hi,it can work with the usb 2.0 on an rpi 3b. If it is crushed ,it can be caused by low electricity ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Connects quickly and seems stable *by M***R on 11 May 2022* I use it to connect on BACnet MS/TP devices and networks to change settings on job sites and it's very easy to use.
