Vogtlin red-y smart mass flow meter/controller

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.

⚠ disputed: totaliser_scaling_factor @ 16454 — disputed by Vögtlin red-y smart series manual (smart_digi_com_E1_5) which maps Totaliser unit (Einheit Totalisator) to 0x4046..0x4047 (decimal 16454..16455), not a scaling factor

⚠ disputed: zero_point_suppression @ 16460 — disputed by Vögtlin red-y smart series manual (smart_digi_com_E1_5) which maps Zero point suppression (Nullpunktunterdrückung) to 0x4048..0x404b (decimal 16456..16459), while 0x404c..0x404d (decimal 16460..16461) is Reset hardware error

⚠ disputed: backflow_detection @ 16466 — disputed by Vögtlin red-y smart series manual (smart_digi_com_E1_5) which maps Backflow detection (Rückfluss-Detektion) to 0x4050 (decimal 16464), while 0x4052..0x4053 (decimal 16466..16467) is Signal type analog output

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