When I use this method to read the status of certain relay pin in a loop, this error occurred after several loops. Can you tell me why ?
ERROR:

Based on the error it looks like nothing is being returned by the relay controller.
Can you let me know what the sku of the board is that you have and what the settings for the TPC or Serial port you’re using to communicate with the board?
It may be that the timeout should be longer on the port. If the relay controller is currently processing an internal function on the board it may take slightly longer than usual to return data.
Sku of the board you mean amount of the board I have? I have 3 relay boards.
The info printed on the relay board is: ZADSR16xPROXR. I guess it should be ‘Industrial Relay Controller 16-Channel SPDT + 8-Channel ADC’ with Ethernet port on the website.
