Pace Bms Listener Modbus Register 11: Name fault status bitmask

Technical Definition

The register name fault status bitmask at address 11 is used to monitor name fault status bitmask on the Pace Bms Listener.

• 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 fault status bitmask (Address: 11)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=11, 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 fault status bitmask"
  address: 11
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Bitmask representing the current fault status of the BMS. Each bit corresponds to a distinct fault.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates no active faults. Non-zero values need to be cross-referenced with fault code definitions.
