Fireye MicroM flame safeguard

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; default 4800 8N1; unit ID 0; FC 03; The format of the data is 4800, N, 8, 1 meaning 4800 baud, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Due to the RS485 format, the communication format is considered half-duplex.

⚠ WARNING: Selection of this control for a particular application should be made by a competent professional, licensed by a state or other government. Inappropriate application of this product could result in an unsafe condition hazardous to life and property. — Starkest reads only; we never write a control register.

bench facts as documented (unverified)
terminationThe shield at the source end of the cable of the multi-drop connection can then be terminated to ground.
shield/groundProper twisted shielded pair cable must be utilized. In a multi-drop system, the shields should be tied together within a cabinet and not to any ground point.
wiring notesWhen interfacing Fireye controls to a communication system, be it an E500, PLC or other microprocessor based device, ferrite cores should also be utilized.
protocol notesIt is suggested that repeated polling interval not be less than 200 mSec per request. Requesting data such as burner minutes, system minutes and burner cycles be kept at a minimum due to the amount of processing time required to gather that data.

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