.Procon.Sdm120 Modbus Register 12: SDM1 Power

Technical Definition

The register SDM1 Power at address 12 is used to monitor sdm1 power on the .Procon.Sdm120.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: FP32
• Unit: W
• 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 SDM1 Power (Address: 12)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=12, 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: "SDM1 Power"
  address: 12
  value_type: FP32
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Instantaneous active power consumption/production, measured in Watts (W). Reflects real-time energy flow.

Troubleshooting: Verify voltage and current readings. Check load connections and device integrity. Ensure Modbus communication is stable.
