Imars Mg5Ktl 2M Modbus Register 5650: Run Time

Technical Definition

The register Run Time at address 5650 is used to monitor run time on the Imars Mg5Ktl 2M.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U DWORD
• Unit: s
• 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 Run Time (Address: 5650)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=5650, 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: "Run Time"
  address: 5650
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "s"
