Sinilink Xy Sk150S Psu Modbus Register 8: Battery Energy

Technical Definition

The register Battery Energy at address 8 is used to monitor battery energy on the Sinilink Xy Sk150S Psu.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U DWORD R
• Unit: Wh
• 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 Energy (Address: 8)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=8, 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 Energy"
  address: 8
  value_type: U_DWORD_R
  unit_of_measurement: "Wh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Represents the total stored energy in the battery, typically in Watt-hours (Wh). Indicates capacity and charge level.

Troubleshooting: Zero may indicate a fully discharged battery, a faulty sensor, or a connection issue with the battery management system.
