Technical Definition

The register brink supply pressure at address 4023 is used to monitor brink supply pressure on the .Brink.Base.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: S WORD
  • Unit: Pa
  • Access: Read Only

How to Read (Python pymodbus)

Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient

client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()

# Read brink_supply_pressure (Address: 4023)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4023, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

Integration (Home Assistant)

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:

- platform: modbus_controller
  name: "brink_supply_pressure"
  address: 4023
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "Pa"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Supply air pressure. Unit: Pa (Pascals). Indicates fan performance and potential duct restrictions.

Troubleshooting: Low/zero may indicate fan failure, closed dampers, or significant duct blockage.
