Thcs Core Modbus Register 2: THC-S Conductivity

Technical Definition

The register THC-S Conductivity at address 2 is used to monitor thc-s conductivity on the Thcs Core.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: ms/cm
• 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 THC-S Conductivity (Address: 2)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=2, 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: "THC-S Conductivity"
  address: 2
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "ms/cm"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Electrical conductivity measurement in Siemens per meter (S/m) or milliSiemens per centimeter (mS/cm). Reflects ion concentration.

Troubleshooting: Zero value implies pure water, fouled sensor, or a faulty conductivity probe.
