Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller) Modbus register map

Updated 25 October 2026

Short answer

Air-cooled screw chiller with two refrigerant circuits, each with a variable-speed screw compressor. The MicroTech controller speaks Modbus RTU through a plug-on RS-485 module, and every point is a 16-bit holding register: water and refrigerant temperatures, pressures, compressor amps/volts/kW, enable and setpoint commands, status enums, alarm indexes and run-hour counters. Values follow an English/Metric setting.

This page lists 96 Modbus registers for the Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller) — 17 writable — with the table, 0-based wire address, data type, word order, scale, units and access of each, re-typed from Daikin Applied’s own free documentation (linked below) and checked against it.

Integration notes: Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller)

Integration in brief

Fit the Modbus module, set address and baud at the keypad (Modbus Setup), apply so the controller reboots, then poll holding registers with function 03. Read 1 (Local/Remote) and 316 (Units) first; use 9 to enable, 35 for the chilled-water setpoint, 38 for capacity limit, and 5 plus 28-33 for alarms.

Minimum registers to map

Addresses are 0-based wire addresses. Enough to monitor and run the unit; map more as the job needs.

Enable Modbus control & writes

A Modbus communication module must be attached to the unit controller. Set Network Address and Baud Rate at the keypad (password 5321, View/Set Unit > Modbus Setup), then Apply Changes = Yes to reboot the controller. Chiller Local/Remote (register 1) must read Remote (0) - it can only be changed at the keypad - or enable, mode, setpoint, capacity-limit and clear-alarm writes are ignored.

Communication loss & watchdog

The module's Com LED Timeout (0-3600 s, default 3 s) only turns the BUS LED red when the master stops polling; no control fallback on communication loss is documented. Enable, mode and clear-alarm commands have a Null value that falls back to Disable / Cool / Normal when nothing writes them.

Notes on this map

Check it against the live device. A register map tells you what the controller can expose; the unit in front of you may differ by firmware or options. Read a few registers and compare them with the unit’s own display; for a 32-bit value the float and byte-order decoder shows all four word orders at once, so a wrong word order or scale is obvious. New to this? Read what a register map is and why addresses are off by one.

Questions about the Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller)

What Modbus registers does the Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller) have?

This map lists 96 registers: 96 holding registers. 17 of them can be written. Registers vary with firmware, options and configuration, so confirm against the device.

Are the Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller) Modbus addresses 0-based or 1-based?

The manufacturer's document numbers registers 1-based (subtract 1 for the wire address). Every address on this page is the 0-based wire address you put in the request; the documented number is shown under it where it differs. ED 15121 prints holding registers without the 4xxxx prefix (register 8 = 40008) and states the module is zero-based: register 40003 goes out as 0002 in the PDU. Wire address = printed number - 1.

What byte order does the Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller) use for 32-bit values?

Multi-register values in this map use CDAB (low word first (word-swapped)). Set your client to this order for every 32/64-bit value in the table.

What are the minimum Modbus registers to integrate the Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller)?

Start with HR 0 Chiller Local/Remote (Local/Remote - network commands only work in Remote); HR 14 Chiller Status (Chiller status); HR 16 Evaporator Leaving Fluid Temperature (Leaving chilled water temperature); HR 12 Actual Capacity (Actual capacity); HR 8 Chiller Enable Setpoint (Network enable command); HR 34 Cool Setpoint - Network (Cooling setpoint command); HR 37 Capacity Limit Setpoint - Network (Capacity limit command); HR 4 Alarm Digital Output (Any alarm active); HR 29 Fault Alarm Index (Active fault index); HR 315 Units (English/Metric) (English/Metric flag).

How do I enable Modbus control of the Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller)?

A Modbus communication module must be attached to the unit controller. Set Network Address and Baud Rate at the keypad (password 5321, View/Set Unit > Modbus Setup), then Apply Changes = Yes to reboot the controller. Chiller Local/Remote (register 1) must read Remote (0) - it can only be changed at the keypad - or enable, mode, setpoint, capacity-limit and clear-alarm writes are ignored.

What happens when the Daikin Applied Pathfinder AWV air-cooled screw chiller (MicroTech controller) loses Modbus communication?

The module's Com LED Timeout (0-3600 s, default 3 s) only turns the BUS LED red when the master stops polling; no control fallback on communication loss is documented. Enable, mode and clear-alarm commands have a Null value that falls back to Disable / Cool / Normal when nothing writes them.
