Technical Definition

The register Reverse Active Energy L1 at address 316 is used to monitor reverse active energy l1 on the Jsy Mk 354.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U DWORD
  • Unit: kWh
  • 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 Reverse Active Energy L1 (Address: 316)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=316, 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: "Reverse Active Energy L1"
  address: 316
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Measures reverse active energy (kWh) generated by Phase L1. Indicates power flowing back from the load to the source.

Troubleshooting: Zero if no generation on L1. Check for backfeed sources (e.g., solar inverters) or incorrect CT/VT polarity.
