Technical Definition

The register modbus controller name Voltage L1-N at address 0 is used to monitor modbus controller name voltage l1-n on the Em340 Package.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: S DWORD R
  • Unit: V
  • 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 modbus_controller_name Voltage L1-N (Address: 0)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=0, 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: "modbus_controller_name Voltage L1-N"
  address: 0
  value_type: S_DWORD_R
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Voltage measurement between Line 1 and Neutral on the Em340 Package. Units are Volts (V).

Troubleshooting: Zero value implies no voltage, a blown fuse, loose connection, or communication error. Check power source, wiring, and Modbus status.
