Inline flow sensor not sending data to Controllino Mega

I have an Inline Flow Sensor VA521 from CS Instruments and have connected it to a Controllino Mega. The sensor turns on and reads data fine and the Controllino can send commands through modbus RTU to the sensor without issue. However, whenever I try to read data from the sensor, I get 0, even for the temperature. According to the manual and the sensor’s settings, the slave address is 1 and the modbus register for temperature is 1419. At first I took the register to mean 1 – a discrete value, and the slave address was 419. I have tried 418 or 420 or 1419 or 1418 and none on them give a different response. I adjusted my code based on the DemoModbusRTUMaster example code from Controllino.
I also tried connecting the analog output of the sensor to the Controllino. No matter what, if the sensor is on, the value always reads about 750 (usually 748-751). I have tried different computers, connecting the analog output to an Arduino Mega 2560, changing the output from volume flow to temperature and the value still stays the same. Even if it is set to flow and the screen on the sensor reads a flow, the value does not change.
Even though the read out from the controllino would indicate a 15 V voltage, when measured by hand, it read 5 V. Converting this to mA from the sensor, I get 3.04 mA, which would mean an error signal. I do not know what the error would be or even where to look. I’m not even sure if the error is in the code or with the sensor.I am completely new to modbus and have only learned the basics of Arduino. I greatly appreciate any help that you can offer!
This is the instruction manual for the sensor:

Hi Barrels,
at first to the Modbus. Before you start the integration of the sensor with the CONTROLLINO, please try to control the sensor from a PC with RS485-USB converter and some Modbus RTU Master application. You will easily fine proper registry numbers and meanings etc.
To the analog measurement. You cannot directly connect current loop 4-20 mA to CONTROLLINO analog input. You should use external 500 Ohm resistor to convert it to voltage suitable for the CONTROLLINO analog input.
Good luck!

Hi Lukas,
Thank you for the response! I have gotten a bit further with this since I made this post. I have connected the sensor with the computer using a converter, as you said. On ModbusPoll, I can read the temperature values out perfectly. However, when the Controllino is connected, I only read out zero’s.
I have been playing around with the two Controllino Modbus example to understand how Modbus works better. Now I have following issue: any slave register higher than 207 returns a 0 to the master. I was trying to set up the master code so that it could also work with the sensor. The slave register I need is 1418 (notably higher than 207). This is regardless of what value the slave Controllino has in its register at the desired address.
As for the analog, we figured that out and it works well. Ideally, we would like a digital communcation rather than an analog one.
Here is my current slave code:
#include <Controllino.h> /* Usage of CONTROLLINO library allows you to use CONTROLLINO_xx aliases in your sketch. */
#include "ModbusRtu.h" /* Usage of ModBusRtu library allows you to implement the Modbus RTU protocol in your sketch. */

CONTROLLINO - Modbus RTU protocol Slave example for MAXI and MEGA, Version 01.00
The sketch is relevant only for CONTROLLINO variants MAXI and MEGA (because of necessity of RS485 interface)!
This sketch is intended as an example of the communication between devices via RS485 with utilization the ModbusRTU protocol.
In this example the CONTROLLINO is used as the Modbus slave!
For more information about the Modbus protocol visit the website: http://modbus.org/
Modbus master device can read Modbus 16bit registers (provided by the slave):
0 - analog CONTROLLINO_A0 value (0 - 1024)
1 - digital CONTROLLINO_D0 value (0/1)
2 - Modbus messages received
3 - Modbus messages transmitted
Modbus master device can write Modbus 16bit registers:
4 - relay CONTROLLINO_R0 (0/1)
5 - relay CONTROLLINO_R1 (0/1)
6 - relay CONTROLLINO_R2 (0/1)
7 - relay CONTROLLINO_R3 (0/1)
To easily evaluate this example you need a second CONTROLLINO as Modbus master running DemoModbusRTUMaster example sketch.
Please note that both CONTROLLINOs need 12/24V external supply and you need to interconnect GND, -, + signals of RS485 screw terminal.
Modbus Master-Slave library for Arduino (ModbusRtu.h) was taken from the website: https://github.com/smarmengol/Modbus-Master-Slave-for-Arduino
It was necessary to modify setting of the PORTJ for pins DE and RE control. These pins are located at the PORJ and on the pins PIN6(DE) and PIN5(RE).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Please, select proper target board in Tools->Board->Controllino MAXI/MEGA before Upload to your CONTROLLINO.

The issue was with the parity. The sensor was sending even parity, so I changed “#define SerialConfig SERIAL_8N1” into “#define SerialConfig SERIAL_8E1”. The next challenge was converting the modbus value into a float value that I could use. Here is the current master program:
#include <Controllino.h> /* Usage of CONTROLLINO library allows you to use CONTROLLINO_xx aliases in your sketch. */
#include "ModbusRtu.h" /* Usage of ModBusRtu library allows you to implement the Modbus RTU protocol in your sketch. */

Please note that both CONTROLLINOs need 12/24V external supply and you need to interconnect GND, -, + signals of RS485 screw terminal.
Modbus Master-Slave library for Arduino (ModbusRtu.h) was taken from the website: https://github.com/smarmengol/Modbus-Master-Slave-for-Arduino
It was necessary to modify setting of the PORTJ for pins DE and RE control. These pins are located at the PORJ and on the pins PIN6(DE) and PIN5(RE).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Please, select proper target board in Tools->Board->Controllino MAXI/MEGA before Upload to your CONTROLLINO.
(Please, refer to https://github.com/CONTROLLINO-PLC/CONTROLLINO_Library if you do not see the CONTROLLINOs in the Arduino IDE menu Tools->Board.)

// ModbusSlaveRegisters[0] - Read an analog value from the CONTROLLINO_A0 - returns value in the range from 0 to 1023.
// ModbusSlaveRegisters[1] - Read an digital value from the CONTROLLINO_D0 - returns only the value 0 or 1.
// ModbusSlaveRegisters[2] - Read the number of incoming messages - Communication diagnostic.
// ModbusSlaveRegisters[3] - Read the number of number of outcoming messages - Communication diagnostic.
// ModbusSlaveRegisters[4] - Sets the Relay output CONTROLLINO_R0 - only the value 0 or 1 is accepted.
// ModbusSlaveRegisters[5] - Sets the Relay output CONTROLLINO_R1 - only the value 0 or 1 is accepted.
