Rosemount 5900C radar level gauge

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): The Rosemount 5900C communicates via the intrinsically safe Tankbus (FOUNDATION Fieldbus). Modbus registers are accessed via a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub or 2460 System Hub.

⚠ WARNING - Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety. WARNING - To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, disconnect power before servicing. — Starkest reads only; we never write a control register.

The trust ladder

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