Technical Definition

The register Ability Of Hydraulic Module at address 140 is used to monitor ability of hydraulic module on the heatpump.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: kW
  • 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 Ability Of Hydraulic Module (Address: 140)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=140, 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: "Ability Of Hydraulic Module"
  address: 140
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kW"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Indicates the operational capability or status of the hydraulic module. Likely a status code or percentage.

Troubleshooting: Zero or error code implies hydraulic module failure, loss of communication, or insufficient capacity.
