Technical Definition

The register Elga varACurrentError1 at address 532 is used to monitor elga varacurrenterror1 on the Elga.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit:
  • 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 Elga varACurrentError1 (Address: 532)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=532, count=2, unit=1)

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

client.close()
