Technical Definition

The register entity prefix Limit Scheme Of Outdoor Unit Current at address 139 is used to monitor entity prefix limit scheme of outdoor unit current on the heatpump.

  • 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 entity_prefix Limit Scheme Of Outdoor Unit Current (Address: 139)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=139, 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: "entity_prefix Limit Scheme Of Outdoor Unit Current"
  address: 139
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Outdoor Unit Current Limit (Amps). Sets the maximum permissible current for the outdoor unit.

Troubleshooting: Constantly hitting limit implies an overload condition or a faulty compressor/fan motor.
