Sontex Supercal 531 heat meter (needs Modbus EIA-485 module)

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.

link settings as documented (unverified): RTU/ASCII; default 19200 8E1; unit ID 1; The device address, the serial transmission mode (RTU or ASCII) and the parity can be changed over the optical interface by the Prog531 and Prog449 configuration software or via Modbus command. If no parity is set, the number of stop bits is set to 2 automatically.

⚠ Avoid electrostatic discharges during installation or handling. Modbus devices powered from a common AC source could be damaged if a mix of half-wave and full-wave rectified devices exist. — 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.

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.

Building a platform? License the verified library — machine-readable maps, firmware matrix, API access.
