Technical Definition

The register name bms name protections bitmask at address 10 is used to monitor name bms name protections bitmask on the Device Pacebms.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit:
  • 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 name_bms_name_protections bitmask (Address: 10)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=10, 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: "name_bms_name_protections bitmask"
  address: 10
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Bitmask indicating active protection trip conditions. Each bit signifies a triggered safety protection.

Troubleshooting: Non-zero value indicates a protection has been triggered, preventing operation. Analyze specific bit for cause (overcurrent, overvoltage, etc.).
