Technical Definition

The register channel 6 Temperature at address 604 is used to monitor channel 6 Temperature on the Channel 06.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: INT16
  • Unit: °C
  • Access: Read Only

How to Read (Python pymodbus)

Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient

client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()

# Read channel_6 temperatur (Address: 604)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=604, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

Integration (Home Assistant)

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:

- platform: modbus_controller
  name: "channel_6 temperatur"
  address: 604
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Temperature reading for Channel 06. Units: Celsius (°C). Reflects the ambient or process Temperature measured by the channel's sensor.

Troubleshooting: Sensor failure, disconnection, or extreme Temperature conditions. Check sensor integrity and environmental factors.
