Figured it out.

In the send sequence I put

\\255\\01\\[V_BELT]

V_BELT is either 01 to turn the relay on (closed) or 00 to turn it off (open).

I guess the send sequence is not intended to parse strings.

I found the realy board on e-bay. They come in in 1, 2 and 8 channels from:

The variable V_RELAY is the ASCII string \\255\\01\\01.

It serial module seems to be sending the string as ASCII as the console displays the leading zeroes.

I have a USB realy switch on com3 that I am trying to control in RoboRealm.

The console area works great but I cannot get Send Sequence to work with a variable. The commands are:

ON:  \\xFF\\x01\\x01  or \\255\\01\\01
OFF:  \\xFF\\x01\\x00 or \\255\\01\\00

When I use the variable V_BELT in the send sequence the relay doesn't respond. The data logged in the console window appears the same; lines 459 and 460 are manually and have the desired effect:

Module Started ...
Connected!
00459: \\255\\1\\0
00460: \\255\\1\\1
00461: \\255\\01\\01
00462: \\255\\01\\00
00463: \\255\\1\\1
00464: \\255\\1\\0

This the serial module code:

<Serial>
  <enable_send_sequence>TRUE</enable_send_sequence>
  <flow_control_cts>FALSE</flow_control_cts>
  <read_rate_index>-1</read_rate_index>
  <send_frequency_index>-1</send_frequency_index>
  <send_only_on_change>TRUE</send_only_on_change>
  <baud>6</baud>
  <data_bits>7</data_bits>
  <port>COM3 - USB Serial Port</port>
  <send>[V_RELAY]</send>
  <flow_control_dsr>FALSE</flow_control_dsr>
  <flow_control_out_x>FALSE</flow_control_out_x>
  <flow_control_in_x>FALSE</flow_control_in_x>
</Serial>

I can resort to using MSCOMM in a vbscript module but I would prefer to stick with the serial module.

Any ideas.
