Inverter Modbus Register 4543: Max Utility Charging Current

Technical Definition

The register Max Utility Charging Current at address 4543 is used to monitor max utility charging current on the Inverter.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U 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 Max Utility Charging Current (Address: 4543)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4543, 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: "Max Utility Charging Current"
  address: 4543
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Sets the maximum current allowed from the utility source for battery charging in Amperes (A).

Troubleshooting: Zero could mean utility power is absent, disabled by settings, or a fault in the charging circuit.
