GE Multilin 469 motor management relay

Register map(s) for this device, each at the trust rung it earned. Addresses are 0-based as on the wire. Word order and scaling are confirmed at the hardware-verified rung and at no rung below it.

interop-verified

Read + decoded cleanly over a real network vs an independent third-party Modbus test server (transport and framing; reads are remapped into the server's register window, so the map's own addresses are NOT exercised). Does NOT prove word order/scaling against the actual device.

⚠ disputed: Function codes [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16] — disputed by GE 469 Communication FAQs which state only function codes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 16 are supported (FC 1 and 2 are not supported)

field reports — community-sourced, unverified (checked 2026-06-11)
  • Users reading 32-bit values (such as energy accumulation or currents) may experience word-swapping or signed/unsigned conversion issues depending on the Modbus master configuration, resulting in wrapped or negative values. [source]
  • Upgrading or downgrading the relay firmware triggers a resettable 'EEPROM DATA ERROR' self-test message to warn the user that the Modbus register addresses have changed in the new firmware version. [source]
  • confirmed: Baud rates [1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200] — confirmed by GE 469 Motor Management Relay Instruction Manual
  • confirmed: Default unit ID 254 — confirmed by GE 469 Motor Management Relay Instruction Manual
  • confirmed: Modbus register map addresses (e.g., motor_status @ 512, motor_thermal_capacity_used @ 513, phase_a_current @ 768) — confirmed by GE 469 Modbus Memory Map

The trust ladder

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

If your device isn't here, upload its register map. Generation is free, and the connector keeps the rung it earns under testing.

To prove a connector against your own device, order hardware verification. If it doesn't verify, you don't pay.

Platform builders can license the verified library: machine-readable maps, the firmware matrix, API access.
