Technical Definition
The register prefix RT: Current System Rated Voltage at address 12573 is used to monitor prefix rt: current system rated voltage on the Realtime.
- Protocol: Modbus RTU
- Data Type: S WORD
- Unit: V
- 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 prefix RT: Current System Rated Voltage (Address: 12573)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=12573, 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: "prefix RT: Current System Rated Voltage"
address: 12573
value_type: S_WORD
unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight
Analysis: Nominal operating voltage of the system in Volts (V). Indicates the expected electrical potential.
Troubleshooting: Could be 0 or low if battery is depleted, a critical component failure, or a voltage sensor malfunction.
