Heatpump Modbus Register 100: Compressor Operating Frequency

Technical Definition

The register Compressor Operating Frequency at address 100 is used to monitor compressor operating frequency on the heatpump.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: Hz
• 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 Compressor Operating Frequency (Address: 100)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=100, 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: "Compressor Operating Frequency"
  address: 100
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "Hz"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Current operating frequency of the compressor motor. Units: Hertz (Hz).

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates compressor is off or failed to start. Check power, control signals, and compressor status.
