163882
Firmware version
Encoded as four bytes: major, minor, patch, reserved (0x01 0x02 0x13 0x00 = v1.2.13).
UInt32-1R
163902
User settable max current
Maximum current the wallbox hardware supports, as set in the Terra Config app.
UInt32A0.001R
163922
Error code
0 = no error; other values are described in the Terra AC user manual.
UInt32-1R
163942
Socket lock state
0x0000 = no cable plugged, 0x0001 = cable connected at the station, unlocked, 0x0011 = cable connected and locked, 0x0101 = cable connected to station and EV, unlocked, 0x0111 = cable connected to station and EV, locked.
UInt32-1R
163962
Charging state
Low byte bits 6-0: 0 = State A (idle), 1 = State B1 (plugged in, pending authorization), 2 = State B2 (EVSE ready, PWM), 3 = State C1 (EV ready, S2 closed), 4 = State C2 (charging contactor closed), 5 = other. Bit 7 of byte 1: 0 = charging at rated current, 1 = below the value commanded in 0x4100.
UInt32-1R
163982
Charging current limit
Current limit the wallbox currently applies after internal load management; readback of the 0x4100 setpoint.

Energy delivered
Energy transferred in the current charging session.
UInt32Wh1R
164161
Communication timeout readback
Readback of the timeout configured in 0x4106.
UInt16s1R
166402
Set charging current limit
Setpoint for the charging current. The internal load-management algorithm may apply a lower value, so read the applied limit back from 0x400E. Below 6 A the session pauses, above 6 A it resumes.
UInt32A0.001W
166431
Lock / unlock socket cable
0 = unlock the cable, 1 = lock the cable until it is unlocked again or the wallbox is power-cycled. Socket versions only.
UInt16-1W
166451
Start / stop charging session
0 = start charging session, 1 = stop charging session.
UInt16-1W
166461
Communication timeout
Seconds without any read or write before the wallbox treats the link as lost. Default 60, range 10-65535.
UInt16s1W

Notes

Source: ABB, "Terra AC wallbox - TAC Modbus Communication, Modbus RTU - RS485 and TCP/IP", document 9AKK108469A0833, revision 1.7 (2022). The charger is the Modbus server; only the holding-register area is implemented, with function codes 03 (read), 06 (write single) and 16 (write multiple), big-endian, TCP port 502. Addresses above are the hexadecimal register numbers from the ABB map (0x4000, 0x4100, ...) written in decimal, used as wire addresses. The 4000h serial number register holds a four-register packed identification, so it is not listed here. Modbus TCP control needs firmware 1.6.5 or newer (evcc's Terra AC template states this requirement). The RS-485 variant of the same map takes a configurable address from 1 to 247, 8 data bits, configurable baud rate 4800-115200 and parity None/Odd/Even.
