That line from the vertiv manual is so cryptic. If the there isn’t a standard set of registers for this purpose then there must be a specific AC meter it supports. I don’t see one on the listed accessories in the literature though. Meanwhile the same manual has explicit instructions for

Yes, and no. The modbus protocol defines how to move data between two devices. However, the contents of the data being passed is vendor-defined and there aren't any industry standards I'm aware of (although it wouldn't surprise me if there were). Every vendor that produces a modbus-capable

Modbus is an ancient serial protocol to pass values back and forth. It’s very open but also somewhat vendor specific. You can send any message you like from A <->B but the two devices have to know what the specific message means. Various industries have defined the message content but I
