Daikin DCOM-LT/MB Modbus interface (split/Sky Air/Altherma)

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.

⚠ The operation of the product in smart-grid applications must be according to EN60730-1:2011 and must not override the operation of any type 2 action controls nor interfere with any protective function of the control — Starkest reads only; we never write a control register.

bench facts as documented (unverified)
terminalsCSA 0.5 to 2.5mm2, Torque 0.5Nm
A/B polarityPower terminals are polarity independent. 0V and +V can be wired to either terminal.
terminationRS485 termination is not required for normal operation. The DCOM RS485 transceiver has internal failsafe biasing.
connectorPA 6.6 UL94-V0
shield/groundTerminal 'C' must be connected to all other RS485 Common terminals using the drain wire. The shield should only be earthed at one location.

  • After initial power-up or restart, the DCOM-LT/MB can take up to 8 minutes to fully synchronize with the Altherma Master unit. During this synchronization period, register reads will return the special sentinel value 32765 ('Wait for value'). [source]
