Itron CF ECHO II/CF 51/CF 55 thermal energy meter (needs Modbus card)

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.

terminalsA = D+, B = D-
A/B polarityprotected against polarity reversals
termination120 Ohm with switch
connectorterminal block
isolationDouble isolation
wiring notes2 wires, Differential Half-Duplex
max registers/read22
sentinel valuesAlarm data on the meter are returned in format 999999 (decimal). Optional data are returned with a value of 000000 (decimal) when not available. Negative values are transmitted in absolute values.
protocol notesThe Modbus data returned are updated with the meter data every minute. Communication priority is given to the optical connector, in which case Modbus data remain on the latest meter values read prior to optical communication.

The trust ladder

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