Sr 000A 0049 Sensors Modbus Register 18: Name Afci firmware version

Technical Definition

The register name Afci firmware version at address 18 is used to monitor name afci firmware version on the Sr 000A 0049 Sensors.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U 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 name Afci firmware version (Address: 18)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=18, 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: "name Afci firmware version"
  address: 18
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Indicates the firmware version of the AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) module within the sensors. Typically a numerical code representing the software revision.

Troubleshooting: A value of '0' or a fixed error code often signifies the AFCI module is not initialized, not present, or experiencing a critical failure.
