Modbus Registers

These registers are available for Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP. The cFos Power Brain Controller supports the Modbus functions

03 read multiple holding registers
06 write single holding register
16 write multiple holding registers

We distinguish four devices:
2 S0 meters, 1 charging station and 1 attached (Modbus) meter, which are distinguished by the Modbus slave ID and (for Modbus TCP) the TCP port.

Note: Write access to the Modbus registers causes writing to the flash memory of the cFos Power Brain and should therefore not take place regularly. The following registers are not saved permanently and can therefore be changed regularly: charging_cur_limit, fixed_current, charging_enable, disconnect_cp, relay_select, relay2. All other registers are written to flash when they are changed, so the number of write operations should be limited!

Default Slave IDs

EVSE	Slave Id 1	TCP port 4701
S0 Meter 1	Slave Id 2	TCP port 4702
S0 Meter 2	Slave Id 3	TCP port 4703
pinned counter	Slave Id 1	TCP port 4701 (via Wallbox Register)

Depending on which device it is and whether, for example, a meter is attached to the EVSE, the following registers apply:

Registers (r = read-only, w = write-only, rw = read/write)

Registers for the EVSE

Default values after reboot:

Name	Address	Registers	Description
def_fixed_current	8080	1 rw	Default value cable_current [0.1 A] ^(*)
def_charg_cur_limit	8081	1 rw	Default charging current limit [0.1 A] 6-63 ^(*)
def_charging_enable	8082	1 rw	Default charging enabled [0/1] ^(*)
^(*) This value will be set accordingly after a reboot.
fail_safe_duration	8083	2 rw	Number of seconds without reading/writing via Modbus before fail_safe_current is applied, 0 to deactivate. Default value is 300 (5 minutes)
fail_safe_current	8085	1 rw	Current during inactivity in 0.1A, 0 = deactivate charging
