Srne Hf2430U60 Modbus Register 263: PV Voltage

Technical Definition

The register PV Voltage at address 263 is used to monitor pv voltage on the Srne Hf2430U60.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: INT16
• 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 PV Voltage (Address: 263)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=263, 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: "PV Voltage"
  address: 263
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Real-time voltage (V) of the Photovoltaic (PV) array. Units: Volts.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates no sunlight or an open circuit in the PV array/wiring. Low values suggest shading or connection issues.
