Michell Easidew EA2 dew-point transmitter (M12 Modbus variant)

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 only confirmed at the hardware-verified rung.

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.

point	address (0-based)	type	scale	unit
humidity_parameter	1	I16	0.1	°C

link settings as documented (unverified): RTU; default 9600 8N1; FC 03,06,16; The RS485 interface on the DIN version is intended for configuration and diagnostics and should only be used with a Michell Instruments communications kit. The M12 version of the transmitter should be used if continuous monitoring or measurement via the RS485 / Modbus interface is required.

⚠ Incorrect wiring of the transmitter may result in permanent damage. — 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.

generated — A prompt produced it. Unproven — anyone can regenerate this.
structure-verified — Decode path is structurally sound (addresses, widths, finite values). Does NOT prove word order or scaling.
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.
simulator-verified — Decoded correctly against a protocol emulator seeded with known-true values — catches word-order/scaling errors vs the emulator, not the physical device.
hardware-verified x1 — Matched a real device with operator-attested readings as ground truth — the only rung that confirms word order + scaling on the wire.

Have a device that isn't here? Upload its register map — generation is free, and the connector earns its rung by being proven, not claimed.

Need it proven on your own device? Hardware verification — if it doesn't verify, you don't pay.
