Technical Definition

The register JKBMS cell voltage 16 at address 4638 is used to monitor jkbms cell voltage 16 on the Jkbms Modbus.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: V
  • 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 JKBMS cell voltage 16 (Address: 4638)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4638, 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: "JKBMS cell voltage 16"
  address: 4638
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Represents the voltage of the 16th individual cell in the battery pack. Units: Volts (V).

Troubleshooting: A zero reading may indicate a faulty cell, a broken connection to the cell, or a BMS communication error for this specific cell.
