Em340 Package Modbus Register 16: modbus controller name Ampere L3

Technical Definition

The register modbus controller name Ampere L3 at address 16 is used to monitor modbus controller name ampere l3 on the Em340 Package.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S DWORD R
• Unit: A
• 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 Ampere L3 (Address: 16)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=16, 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 Ampere L3"
  address: 16
  value_type: S_DWORD_R
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Current on Phase L3. Units: Amperes (A). Indicates load current for the third phase.

Troubleshooting: No current could mean load is off, circuit protection tripped, or wiring issue on L3.
