Intesis (HMS Networks) INMBSLGE001R000 LG AC to Modbus RTU gateway Modbus register map

Updated 16 October 2026

Short answer

Modbus RTU server that sits on the 3-wire remote-controller bus of an LG indoor unit, alongside or instead of the LG wired remote. Holding registers cover on/off, mode, fan, vanes, setpoint, room temperature, compressor status and run hours, alarm and error code, and window-contact / virtual-temperature features.

This page lists 32 Modbus registers for the Intesis (HMS Networks) INMBSLGE001R000 LG AC to Modbus RTU gateway — 17 writable — with the table, 0-based wire address, data type, word order, scale, units and access of each, re-typed from Intesis (HMS Networks)’s own free documentation (linked below) and checked against it.

Integration notes: Intesis (HMS Networks) INMBSLGE001R000 LG AC to Modbus RTU gateway

Integration in brief

Decide the BYR-bus role first (SW1: slave next to an LG wired remote, master if there is none), set address and baud on SW3/SW4, power-cycle, then poll holding registers 0-11 with function 03 and write with 06.

Minimum registers to map

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

HR 0AC unit On/OffUINT16On/offRead/write
HR 1AC unit modeUINT16ModeRead/write

Enable Modbus control & writes

No enable step; register 7 (gateway disablement) must be 0 for commands to reach the unit.

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 Intesis (HMS Networks) INMBSLGE001R000 LG AC to Modbus RTU gateway

What Modbus registers does the Intesis (HMS Networks) INMBSLGE001R000 LG AC to Modbus RTU gateway have?

This map lists 32 registers: 32 holding registers. 17 of them can be written. Registers vary with firmware, options and configuration, so confirm against the device.

Are the Intesis (HMS Networks) INMBSLGE001R000 LG AC to Modbus RTU gateway Modbus addresses 0-based or 1-based?

The manufacturer's document numbers registers 0-based (the number printed is the address on the wire). 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. Tables give a 'protocol address' (base 0) and a 'PLC address' (base 1); the protocol address is the wire address and is used for 'documented'.

What are the minimum Modbus registers to integrate the Intesis (HMS Networks) INMBSLGE001R000 LG AC to Modbus RTU gateway?

Start with HR 0 AC unit On/Off (On/off); HR 1 AC unit mode (Mode); HR 2 AC unit fan speed (Fan speed); HR 4 AC unit temperature setpoint (Setpoint); HR 5 AC unit temperature reference (Room temperature); HR 11 Error code (Error code); HR 53 Compressor status (Compressor status).

How do I enable Modbus control of the Intesis (HMS Networks) INMBSLGE001R000 LG AC to Modbus RTU gateway?

No enable step; register 7 (gateway disablement) must be 0 for commands to reach the unit.
