Technical Definition

The register Battery SoC at address 4507 is used to monitor battery soc on the Inverter.

  • 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 Battery SoC (Address: 4507)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4507, 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: "Battery SoC"
  address: 4507
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "%"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Battery State of Charge (SoC) in percentage (%). Represents available battery capacity.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates a fully discharged battery. Error values might signal communication issues or sensor faults within the battery management system (BMS).
