Solis Modbus Inv Addon Acr10R 1Ph Modbus Register 3264: Meter Power Factor

Technical Definition

The register Meter Power Factor at address 3264 is used to monitor meter power factor on the Solis Modbus Inv Addon Acr10R 1Ph.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S WORD
• Unit:
• 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 Meter Power Factor (Address: 3264)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=3264, 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: "Meter Power Factor"
  address: 3264
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Power Factor (PF) indicates the ratio of real power to apparent power. Unitless. Typically 0 to 1.

Troubleshooting: Low PF can indicate poor load matching or reactive loads. Ensure system is operating efficiently.
