AuCom EMX3/CSX/IMS2 soft starter (needs Modbus interface module)

Register map(s) for this device, with a note of how far each has been checked. Addresses are 0-based, as on the wire. Scale and byte order are confirmed only at the hardware-verified rung.

coherence-checked

Round-trips through a real Modbus stack with no overlapping addresses and a word-order-sensitive codec — the map is internally coherent and wire-decodable. Does NOT prove byte-order or scaling match a real device: the emulator is seeded from the map's own types, so a uniformly wrong byte-order still round-trips. Only hardware-verified confirms byte-order/scale on the wire.

link settings as documented (unverified): RTU/ASCII; baud 4800/9600/19200/38400; FC 03,06; Modbus broadcast functions are not supported.

⚠ Remove mains and control voltage from the soft starter before attaching or removing accessories. Failure to do so may damage the equipment. — Starkest reads only; we never write a control register.

⚠ disputed: l1_current @ 599, l2_current @ 600, l3_current @ 601 — disputed by AuCom Modbus Interface Instructions (710-02653-00H) which maps L1 current to 40600 (0-based 599), but maps L2 current to 40601 (0-based 600) and L3 current to 40602 (0-based 601). The provided summary incorrectly shifted the register offsets for L2 and L3 current.

⚠ disputed: l1_voltage @ 602, l2_voltage @ 603, l3_voltage @ 604 — disputed by AuCom Modbus Interface Instructions (710-02653-00H) which maps L1 voltage to 40603 (0-based 602), L2 voltage to 40604 (0-based 603), and L3 voltage to 40605 (0-based 604).

⚠ disputed: powerscale_and_power @ 605, power_factor @ 606, motor_2_temperature @ 607 — disputed by AuCom Modbus Interface Instructions (710-02653-00H) which maps Powerscale and Power to 40606 (0-based 605), Power Factor to 40607 (0-based 606), and Motor 2 Temperature to 40608 (0-based 607).
