What baud rate does the JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1) use by default?

9600 bps, 8N1. It is a Modbus-RTU slave; default address 1.

What supply voltage does the JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1) need?

DC 5–24 V (≤ 0.15 W (12 V DC)).

How do I change the JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1) Modbus address?

Write the device-address register with function code 0x06, one device on the bus at a time, then power-cycle. See the Configuration section above.

Is the JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1) compatible with the Sankhya platform?

Yes — it is in the Sankhya RS-485 sensor library and the firmware-generation pipeline can produce node firmware for it.

Does the JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1) measure salinity and TDS?

The JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1) reports moisture, temperature, EC, pH and N-P-K only — it does not report salinity and TDS. On the same RS-485 bus, add salinity: DFRobot SEN0601; TDS: DFRobot SEN0601.

How many Modbus registers does the JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1) expose?

This guide documents 9 registers, read with function code 0x03 and written with 0x06 where the register is RW. Documented entries include pH, Soil moisture, Soil temperature, Electrical conductivity, Nitrogen and Phosphorus.

Can the 7-in-1 be used only for pH and EC?

Yes. All supported fields may be collected while a particular dashboard or export concentrates on the series relevant to the installation.

Is this sensor suitable for a nutrient reservoir?

Do not infer liquid-immersion suitability from the RS-485 interface. Use this model only in the media and installation conditions stated by its manufacturer; choose liquid-rated probes for a reservoir.

At a glance

The JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1) is a 5-in-1 RS-485 soil probe reporting moisture, temperature, EC, pH and N-P-K over Modbus-RTU on RS-485 at 9600 bps, 8N1, on DC 5–24 V. This guide documents 9 registers, default Modbus address 1. It does not report salinity and TDS. For those on the same bus: salinity → DFRobot SEN0601; TDS → DFRobot SEN0601. Sankhya firmware profile: JXCT_7in1.

Sankhya Farms integration

Live JXCT N-P-K and root-zone readings in one dashboard

Sankhya Farms reads this JXBS-3001-TR 7-in-1 with the JXCT_7in1 profile. The node polls at 9600 baud, handles the scattered JXCT addresses and 0.01 pH scale, and sends moisture, signed temperature, EC, pH and the three live N-P-K words to the free cloud dashboard. It is not interchangeable with a ZTS decoder, even though the product descriptions use many of the same parameter names.

The combined record can support field comparisons, greenhouse and nursery trials, home-garden experiments or observation of a solid hydroponic substrate. A user can inspect a nutrient estimate alongside moisture and EC instead of treating it as a context-free number. The model documentation identifies the N-P-K values as live probe readings, unlike the write-in nutrient registers on certain ZTS-3002 devices. Even so, in-situ nutrient probes should be checked against reference samples and used as trend instruments where soil composition, moisture and salinity may affect response.

Native integration: one Sankhya profile converts the JXCT addresses into named dashboard series. No separate Node-RED flow or register-to-database mapping is required. See how nodes are configured.

Value lookup

How do I look up a JXCT 7-in-1 value?

pH is 0006H ×0.01; moisture and signed temperature are 0012H and 0013H ×0.1; EC is 0015H in µS/cm. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the direct mg/kg words at 001EH, 001FH and 0020H. Because these addresses are not contiguous, a robust poller either issues the appropriate ranges or reads them separately. Sankhya's profile performs that lookup and preserves the final units.

Can the 7-in-1 be used only for pH and EC?: Yes. All supported fields may be collected while a particular dashboard or export concentrates on the series relevant to the installation.
Is this sensor suitable for a nutrient reservoir?: Do not infer liquid-immersion suitability from the RS-485 interface. Use this model only in the media and installation conditions stated by its manufacturer; choose liquid-rated probes for a reservoir.

Configuration

Changing address & baud rate

This probe is configured over the same RS-485 bus using Modbus write commands (function code 0x06). Configure one device at a time on the bus.

Set the Modbus slave address by writing register 0100H (PLC 40257) with function code 0x06. Range 0-255. Factory default 1.
Set the baud rate by writing register 0101H (PLC 40258). Values: 2400=2400, 4800=4800, 9600=9600. Factory default 9600 bps.
Power-cycle the probe after a configuration write for the change to take effect.

Field notes

Notes & caveats

JXCT 7-in-1. Unlike ZTS family, NPK here are LIVE probe readings. pH scale is 0.01 not 0.1. Config registers at 0x0100/0x0101 not 0x07D0/0x07D1. Default baud 9600 not 4800. Needs separate firmware profile from ZTS.
