### **Using a dedicated Wago RS485 module**
Depending on requirements a dedicated RS485 module might be required instead of using the onboard serial port of the device (if available).

Based on user experience in this field, pay attention to:
- reset the module to factory settings before using.
- last confirmed working version of required libraries:
- WagoSysModule_75x_65x: Version 1.9.5.2
- WagoTypesCom: Version 1.6.1.3
- change the 'comport' in the RS485 master function block you intend to use.
- make sure the wiring of the module is correct:
