Voltage and current registers show implausible values. What is wrong?

All voltage, current, power, amp-hour, and energy values must be multiplied by their corresponding scale factor registers (v_sf, c_sf, p_sf, ah_sf, kwh_sf). Each scale factor is a signed int16 representing a power-of-ten exponent. For example, a v_sf of -1 means divide the raw voltage integer by 10. Failing to apply scale factors is the most common source of incorrect readings.

The gateway connects but all registers return zero or NaN. Why?

SunSpec blocks on the OutBack AXS Port and MATE3 are dynamically addressed: the absolute Modbus register offset of the 64112 block changes depending on how many OutBack devices are on the network. Scan from base address 40001 for the SunSpec identifier, then walk the block chain to locate the 64112 block before reading offsets within it. Hardcoded absolute addresses will fail after any network change.

The MATE3 SunSpec interface was enabled but the gateway still cannot connect.

Confirm the MATE3 is reachable on the network at TCP port 502 (the default Modbus port). If OPTICSre cloud polling is also active, it can interfere with concurrent Modbus TCP connections. Reduce the polling frequency in the ModbusCloud portal to reduce connection contention, and ensure no other Modbus client is holding the connection open.

Data log registers return stale or repeated values. How do I step through log days?

The data log uses the cc_config_datalog_day_offset register as an index pointer. Incrementing this value shifts the log window to a different historical day. Always read cc_config_datalog_cur_day_off to confirm which day the controller has loaded before reading daily totals. Note: cc_config_datalog_clear can erase log data permanently; do not write to it unintentionally during testing or portal setup.

Free Modbus template: SunSpec Model 64112 — OutBack FM Charge Controller

Name: SunSpec Model 64112 — OutBack FM Charge Controller
Brand: SunSpec
SKU: 813bcc5a-c609-45eb-8057-93e99559e607

The OutBack FLEXmax charge controller is an MPPT solar charge controller used in off-grid and hybrid battery systems, commonly paired with the OutBack MATE3 or AXS Port gateway for remote access. SunSpec Model 64112 is the vendor-specific configuration block for this device, accessed over Modbus TCP. The template reads the full charge profile: absorption voltage and duration, rebulk threshold, float voltage, maximum charge current, equalization settings, and temperature compensation limits. It also exposes the complete auxiliary output configuration and retrieves historical data log records including daily kWh, amp-hours, peak power, and battery voltage extremes. This gives installers a permanent audit trail of charger behavior without manual log retrieval.
