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

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.

link settings as documented (unverified): RTU; baud 2400/4800/9600/19200; FC 03,08; The Modbus card address is the value of the Mbus primary address of the meter (1-247).

bench facts as documented (unverified)
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.

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.
