Technical Definition

The register L1 V rms at address 10 is used to monitor l1 v rms on the Heidelberg Wb.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: V rms
  • 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 L1 V rms (Address: 10)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=10, 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: "L1 V rms"
  address: 10
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V rms"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: RMS value of Line 1 voltage. Units: Volts (V). Indicates supply voltage on L1.

Troubleshooting: Zero or significantly low reading suggests power supply issue, blown fuse, or wiring problem on L1.
