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 s_3031 (Address: 3031)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=3031, count=2, unit=1)
if not result.isError():
print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
print("Error reading register")
client.close()

💡 Engineer's Insight
Analysis: Motor status (Boolean/Enum). Indicates motor operational state (e.g., running, stopped, fault).
Troubleshooting: Zero (or 'stopped') means motor is off, safety interlock triggered, drive fault, or no run command received.
