Technical Definition

The register JKBMS alarms bitmask at address 4768 is used to monitor jkbms alarms bitmask on the Jkbms Modbus.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U DWORD
  • 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 JKBMS alarms bitmask (Address: 4768)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4768, 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 alarms bitmask"
  address: 4768
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Bitmask indicating active alarm conditions. Each bit represents a specific fault (e.g., overvoltage, undervoltage, temp).

Troubleshooting: A value of zero indicates no active alarms. Non-zero requires decoding the bitmask to identify specific faults.
