Inverter Esp Example Modbus Register 211: Name output effective Current

Technical Definition

The register name output effective Current at address 211 is used to monitor name output effective current on the Inverter Esp Example.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S WORD
• Unit: A
• 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 name output effective Current (Address: 211)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=211, 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: "name output effective Current"
  address: 211
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Effective output current in Amperes (A). The RMS value of the AC current supplied to the load.

Troubleshooting: Zero implies no load or output fault. High values suggest overload. Check load and wiring for shorts or excessive demand.
