Sofarme3000Sp Modbus Register 556: Battery Cycles

Technical Definition

The register Battery Cycles at address 556 is used to monitor battery cycles on the Sofarme3000Sp.

• 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 Battery Cycles (Address: 556)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=556, 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 Cycles"
  address: 556
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total number of charge/discharge cycles the battery has completed. Unit: Cycles.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates a new battery or no cycles recorded. Check battery health and system logging.
