What baud rate does the ZTS-3000-TR-PH-N01 use by default?

4800 bps, 8N1. It is a Modbus-RTU slave; default address 1.

What supply voltage does the ZTS-3000-TR-PH-N01 need?

DC 5–30 V (≤ 0.5 W (typical)).

How do I change the ZTS-3000-TR-PH-N01 Modbus address?

Write the device-address register with function code 0x06, one device on the bus at a time, then power-cycle. See the Configuration section above.

Is the ZTS-3000-TR-PH-N01 compatible with the Sankhya platform?

Yes — it is in the Sankhya RS-485 sensor library and the firmware-generation pipeline can produce node firmware for it.

What does the ZTS-3000-TR-PH-N01 not measure?

The ZTS-3000-TR-PH-N01 reports pH only — it does not report moisture, temperature, EC, N-P-K, salinity and TDS. On the same RS-485 bus, add moisture: ZTS-3000-TR-WS-N01; temperature: ZTS-3000-TR-WS-N01; EC: ZTS-3000-TR-ECWS-N01.

How many Modbus registers does the ZTS-3000-TR-PH-N01 expose?

This guide documents 3 registers, read with function code 0x03 and written with 0x06 where the register is RW. Documented entries include pH, Device address and Baud rate.

At a glance

The ZTS-3000-TR-PH-N01 is a single-parameter RS-485 soil probe reporting pH over Modbus-RTU on RS-485 at 4800 bps, 8N1, on DC 5–30 V. This guide documents 3 registers, default Modbus address 1. It does not report moisture, temperature, EC and others. For those on the same bus: moisture → ZTS-3000-TR-WS-N01; temperature → ZTS-3000-TR-WS-N01. Sankhya firmware profile: ZTS_1in1_pH.

Configuration

Changing address & baud rate

This probe is configured over the same RS-485 bus using Modbus write commands (function code 0x06). Configure one device at a time on the bus.

Set the Modbus slave address by writing register 07D0H (PLC 42001) with function code 0x06. Range 1-254. Factory default 1.
Set the baud rate by writing register 07D1H (PLC 42002). Values: 0=2400, 1=4800, 2=9600. Factory default 1 (4800 bps).
Power-cycle the probe after a configuration write for the change to take effect.

Field notes

Notes & caveats

pH-only sensor. Single register read. Confirmed from uploaded official datasheet. Probe uses PH electrode, requires periodic calibration.
