Meltem M-WRG Modbus

Use cases

• Monitor indoor air quality by tracking CO2 and VOC levels on a live cloud dashboard for residential clients.
• Create an alert when the filter change indicator activates so maintenance can be scheduled proactively.
• Log extract and supply air temperatures over time to verify heat recovery efficiency across seasons.
• Remotely adjust ventilation mode and fan speeds to respond to occupant comfort feedback without a site visit.
• Track cumulative operating hours to plan preventive maintenance intervals for multiple installed units.
• Set up threshold alerts for humidity levels to detect potential condensation or mould risk in the building.

Installation

1. 1Enable Modbus RTU on the Meltem M-WRG unit and note the configured slave address as shown in the unit settings.
2. 2Wire the RS-485 A and B terminals from the Meltem M-WRG unit to the corresponding terminals on the ModbusCloud gateway (MCG or MLP series).
3. 3Configure the gateway serial port to 19200 baud, even parity, and 8 data bits to match the Meltem default settings.
4. 4Import the Meltem M-WRG Modbus template from the ModbusCloud template library and assign the correct slave address.
5. 5Verify communication by checking that temperature and humidity readings appear on the ModbusCloud dashboard.
6. 6Test control functions by changing the ventilation mode or fan settings from the dashboard and confirming the unit responds.

Things to watch for

01

Why do temperature values appear as zero or incorrect numbers?

Temperature registers use float32 encoding, occupying two consecutive Modbus registers. Ensure the gateway is configured to read these registers as float32 rather than uint16. Incorrect byte or word order will produce wrong values.

02

What baud rate and parity settings does the Meltem M-WRG require?

The default communication settings are 19200 baud with even parity (1). These must match exactly on the Modbus gateway, otherwise the unit will not respond.

03

How do I find or change the Modbus slave address of the unit?

The slave address is configured in the Meltem unit settings menu. Consult the M-WRG installation manual for the exact procedure. Each unit on the same RS-485 bus must have a unique address.

04

Control commands do not seem to take effect on the unit. What is wrong?

The Meltem M-WRG requires a write command register to be triggered after setting fan or mode values. Make sure the write command is sent after updating the desired control registers.
