ADS-Tec StoraXe Battery
Note
Note
This integration monitors ADS-Tec StoraXe modular battery containers via Modbus TCP on the SmartgridOne Controller. It provides read-only telemetry; curtailment and dispatch are not supported.
Supported Devices
| Device Type | Variants | Modbus TCP (Ethernet) | RS485 | Curtailment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| StoraXe Container ESS | Modular battery storage system | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
Wiring
- Connect the StoraXe controller (or site gateway) to the LAN with an RJ45 Ethernet cable.
- Ensure TCP port 502 is open between the ADS-Tec controller and the SmartgridOne Controller.
- Follow the Ethernet wiring best practices.
The driver addresses Modbus Unit ID 1. Leave the controller at this default; other IDs are ignored.
Configuration
- Power up the StoraXe controller and connect it to the site LAN.
- Reserve or note the controller’s IP address so it remains reachable.
- In the SmartgridOne Controller UI, open Devices → Add device.
- Select Modbus TCP, enter the StoraXe IP address, keep the unit ID at 1, and click Scan.
- Choose “ADS-Tec StoraXe” when it appears and press Add.
Driver notes
- Device discovery relies on the StoraXe toggle bit (input register 6) alternating between 0 and 1. Keep this diagnostic register enabled; disabling it will prevent the integration from finding the system.
- The controller reads the serial number from registers 203–207. If those fields are blank, the integration falls back to a generated identifier.
