Charge Station Modbus for all commands

Hi, I have comms setup with my charge station and all is working correctly. I am automatically changing charge mode when excess solar, excess battery and cheap charge rate at night.

I am trying to setup some more functions and cannot find them in the Modbus address crib sheet. I have found this but the address don't match my previous crib sheet and the cerbo doesn't recognise these addresses

Below addresses work but I am lacking items such as 'control via display'

Cheers

Matt

Maybe worth commenting to 'Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager)' on that thread. He seems quite on top of this stuff.

Has anyone got any ideas as to why the modbus address are wildly different between the two docs?

OK, so I have now got this working. It seems that for the chargestation you have to setup a separate Modbus entirely to the Cerbo one. You then have to set the unit ID to 1 (ignoring what the unit ID is reported in the Cerbo). Cheers

Hi Matthew, I've just purchased a Victron NS charger and looking for the modbus register definition. Is the one you posted on Nov 29th correct? (I am communicating via Modbus from a Siemens PLC), thanks, Steve
