First thought I had was if that RS485 to USB converter is compatible with Linux. It very well may not.

You should be able to pull a serial in/out node in and send it some commands and see if you get a response.

There is a modbus message structure you would have to inject.

Try the node-red-contrib-modbus package -- will have everything you need for both Modbus RTU and TCP.

I already installed the palette, but i dont know how to setup its node flow. And should i need to get its serial code first for i/o data?
