MODBUS R116 1-channel 20A bus intelligent socket module - ordinary socket instant intelligent/RS485+Modbus control缩略图

Product Overview

MODBUS R116It is a 1-channel intelligent socket control module that achieves intelligent transformation of ordinary sockets through RS485 bus Modbus protocol - transforming traditional uncontrollable wall sockets into intelligent sockets that can be controlled by central control systems, mobile apps, or HA timing/scene/remote control. The module is equipped with a built-in 20A high-power relay, suitable for on/off control of strong current circuits within various load ranges.

Status feedback

  • Bus on-off control: Control the power on/off of sockets through Modbus RTU commands
  • Status Review: Real time query of the current socket on-off status
  • Timing task: Cooperate with HA or central control host to achieve timing switch
  • Scene linkage: Automatically cut off non essential electrical power supply in home scenarios
  • Overload protection: Relay with built-in insurance design

Important reminder: Load capacity

Load typeMaximum currentExample
Resistive load10AIncandescent lamps, electric water heaters, electric heaters
Inductive load5ALED lamps, motors, air conditioners, refrigerator compressors

⚠️ The relay is rated at 20A, but the actual carrying capacity needs to be reduced according to the load type. It is recommended to use the "relay+AC contactor" scheme for high-power equipment (>10A).

Modbus control

Use function code 05 (write single coil) to control on/off, and function code 01 (read coil) to read back the status. Provide a complete Modbus protocol table (C-33).

Applicable scenarios

  • Fish tank/aquariumTimed control of water pump, lighting, and heating rod
  • Charging stationRemote control of electric vehicle charging socket on/off, self stopping when fully charged
  • water heaterTimed activation, preheating before returning home, turning off energy-saving after leaving home
