Tcp Modbus Pool Modbus Register 273: Hydrolysis Cell Voltage

Technical Definition

The register Hydrolysis Cell Voltage at address 273 is used to monitor hydrolysis cell voltage on the Tcp Modbus Pool.

• 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 Hydrolysis Cell Voltage (Address: 273)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=273, 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: "Hydrolysis Cell Voltage"
  address: 273
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Voltage (Volts) across the hydrolysis cell. Indicates electrical potential driving the reaction.

Troubleshooting: Zero or low voltage may mean cell damage, poor connections, or insufficient power supply. Check wiring integrity and voltage source.
