Energy Management System (EMS) Control
Commercial Electric water heaters with Xi controls use a single bit setting method. Within the EMS Mode-Status point, one bit
command (bit 15) sets it in EMS mode, and other ends EMS mode. Once in EMS mode, another bit command (bit 0) enables heating;
another disables heating.
Once in EMS mode the EMS Mode Refresh command must be periodically issued which clears a third bit (bit 14) to maintain EMS
mode, otherwise the heater will end EMS mode and resume normal operation.

EMS Mode Refresh^ (must write within 30 seconds or
EMS mode ends.) 15 seconds or less recommended
49152 / 0xC000 or 49153 / 0xC001 depending
on whether or not heating is enabled.
NOTE:
The start of a heating cycle also depends on other factors, like
Tank Temperature
dropping below Setpoint – Differential and
External
T’stat Call for Heat
if that option is enabled.
^Depending on when you poll the register, you may read bit 14 as 1, which is why a “C” (in hexadecimal form) might briefly reply with
“8”. This is due to the control setting this bit and if it not cleared periodically by the Modbus command, heating is disabled.
After disabling EMS mode with write of 3840, read-back might have bits 14 and 1 possibly still set. To make sure these bits are clear,
write a 0000 to clear bit 1 and 3584 to clear bit 14.
