Technical Definition

The register chint active power phase 3 at address 360 is used to monitor chint active power phase 3 on the Schundmeter.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: S DWORD
  • 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 chint active power phase 3 (Address: 360)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=360, 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: "chint active power phase 3"
  address: 360
  value_type: S_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Active power consumed by phase 3 in Watts (W). Real power for this specific phase.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates no load on phase 3, a fault in phase 3 sensing, or a disconnected phase.
