Rpi Python interfacing RS232 to RS422/485 Converter Problem

Question

I am working with a project where I need to read data from my device(i.e ADAM 4520)using serial to USB converter.
1st, I tested with my PC using hyper terminal and with Raspberry Pi 3 using GtkTerm, it is perfectly working.
As both hyper terminal and gtkterm using Ascii and my device ADAM-4520 also understand Ascii, But how to communicate through python code I am not finding away as I am new to python and raspberry pi, please guide me.

Here is my code:

import serial
import time
s=serial.Serial(port='/dev/ttyS0',
                baudrate=9600,
                parity=serial.PARITY_NONE,
                stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE,
                bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS,timeout=1)
st="#04"
st=''.join(str(ord(c)) for c in st)
x=st.encode('ascii')
while True:
   s.write(x)
   print(x)
   time.sleep(0.2)
   text=s.readline()
   temp=text.decode('ascii')
   #text=text.decode('utf-8')
      #text=text[5:-1]
   print(temp)

Here is my output:

354852
b''
354852
b''
354852

I am receiving nothing. whereas using gtkterm I am getting a response.

 #04
>+261.27+310.83+049.09+206.77+126.81+049.79

#042
>+049.11

After changing the code it worked properly. So I updated here my code as it will definitely help a newbie. My device is ADAM-4520(485-232 converter), ADAM-4015(6-channel RTD module). I am interfacing these two devices with my Raspberry Pi 3 with serial (Rx/Tx)pin.

import serial
import time
import struct
s=serial.Serial(port='/dev/ttyS0',
                baudrate=9600,
                parity=serial.PARITY_NONE,
                stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE,
                bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS,
                timeout=1)
st="\x23\x30\x34\x0D"
x=st.encode()
while True:
   s.write(x)
   print("write: ",x)
   time.sleep(1)
   text=s.readline()
   temp=text.decode('utf-8')
   print("response: ",temp)
   time.sleep(2)

And here is my output.

write: b'#04\r'
Response: >+261.20+310.60+049.08+206.75+126.77+049.79

So it needs an enter command along with command "#04"(which is given in document of the device, but enter command needed it isn't given on documentation.
