Carel ir33+ refrigeration controller family

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): Automatic recognition of the network protocol: Carel or Modbus. Supports up to 207 units on the network with a maximum length of 1000 m. Serial address is assigned via parameter H0.

⚠ Separate probe and digital input signal cables from cables carrying inductive loads and power cables. Never run power and signal cables in the same conduits. — Starkest reads only; we never write a control register.

⚠ disputed: defrost_probe_1_reading @ 0 — disputed by Carel ir33+ User Manual (+0300028EN rel. 1.1) which shows no Modbus variables at addresses 0 and 1; analogue variables start at address 3 (Virtual probe).

⚠ disputed: defrost_probe_2_reading @ 1 — disputed by Carel ir33+ User Manual (+0300028EN rel. 1.1) which shows no Modbus variables at addresses 0 and 1; analogue variables start at address 3 (Virtual probe).

⚠ disputed: max_temperature_read @ 20 — disputed by Carel ir33+ User Manual (+0300028EN rel. 1.1) which maps rH (Maximum temperature read) to Modbus address 22 (0-based: 21).

⚠ disputed: min_temperature_read @ 21 — disputed by Carel ir33+ User Manual (+0300028EN rel. 1.1) which maps rL (Minimum temperature read) to Modbus address 21 (0-based: 20).

⚠ disputed: low_temperature_alarm_threshold @ 26 — disputed by Carel ir33+ User Manual (+0300028EN rel. 1.1) which maps AL (Low temperature alarm threshold) to Modbus address 28 (0-based: 27). Address 26 is A0 (Alarm differential).

⚠ disputed: high_temperature_alarm_threshold @ 27 — disputed by Carel ir33+ User Manual (+0300028EN rel. 1.1) which maps AH (High temperature alarm threshold) to Modbus address 29 (0-based: 28). Address 27 is A1 (Alarm threshold type).

⚠ disputed: high_condenser_temperature_alarm_threshold @ 28 — disputed by Carel ir33+ User Manual (+0300028EN rel. 1.1) which maps Ac (Condenser high temperature alarm threshold) to Modbus address 160 (0-based: 159). Address 28 is AL (Low temperature alarm threshold).

⚠ disputed: frost_protection_alarm_threshold @ 35 — disputed by Carel ir33+ User Manual (+0300028EN rel. 1.1) which maps ALF (Antifreeze alarm threshold) to Modbus address 435 (0-based: 434). Address 35 is c8 (Compressor start delay after opening PD valve).

  • The Modbus serial parameters are fixed to 2 stop bits, no parity, and 19200 baud rate. Many Modbus masters default to 1 stop bit when parity is disabled, which causes communication failures unless explicitly configured to use 2 stop bits. [source]

The trust ladder

Each rung states what it proved and what it did not. Gray until proven; green is earned by hardware only.
