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 Turn off timing 2 hours (Address: 36941)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=36941, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Sets the inactivity timeout for auto-shutdown in hours. Used for longer standby periods before shutdown.

Troubleshooting: Zero value implies disabled timeout or a faulty setting. Refer to the device's technical documentation.
