Pack Modbus Register 11: Friendly name pack Fault Status Bitmask

Technical Definition

The register friendly name pack Fault Status Bitmask at address 11 is used to monitor friendly name pack fault status bitmask on the Pack.

• 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 friendly_name pack 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: "friendly_name pack Fault Status Bitmask"
  address: 11
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""
