Reactive Power Modbus Register 30061: Entities name prefix - slave entities prefix name - Reactive Power Total

Technical Definition

The register entities name prefix - slave entities prefix name - Reactive Power Total at address 30061 is used to monitor entities name prefix - slave entities prefix name - reactive power total on the Reactive Power.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U DWORD
• Unit: Var
• 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 entities_name_prefix - slave_entities_prefix_name - Reactive Power Total (Address: 30061)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=30061, 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: "entities_name_prefix - slave_entities_prefix_name - Reactive Power Total"
  address: 30061
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "Var"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Represents the sum of reactive power across all phases (kVAR). Key for overall system power quality and efficiency monitoring.

Troubleshooting: Zero may indicate balanced phases, no reactive load, or a communication failure. Verify connected loads and communication status.
