-====== LamaPLC: Eastron SDM 230 with Modbus Communication ====== 
-{{ :com:eastron_sdm230.png?100|Eastron SDM230}} 
  
-The Eastron SDM230 Modbus MID 1-phase kWh meter is ideal for the precise monitoring of, for example, a solar panel system, a charging station, a heat pump, or another 1-phase group of your choice. On the illuminated LCD screen, you can immediately see how many kWh the respective system consumes or produces, and it is used for official registration and billing of the measurement data. For example, if you want to bill a tenant for the electricity consumption of a specific room. 
- 
-**Key Features** 
- 
-  * **Measurement:** Measures various parameters, including active energy (kWh), reactive energy (kVArh), power (kW, kVAr, kVA), voltage, current, frequency, and power factor. 
-  * **Bi-directional Energy:** Supports bi-directional energy measurement (import and export), making it suitable for solar PV and battery storage applications. 
-  * **Direct Connection:** Designed for a maximum 100A direct connection, eliminating the need for external current transformers (CTs). 
-  * **Display:** Features a blue-backlit LCD screen for easy reading of data. 
-  * **Communication:** Includes two pulse outputs and a communication port (RS485 Modbus or M-Bus, depending on the model) for remote monitoring and integration with building management systems (BMS) or SCADA systems. Some models also offer Wi-Fi or LoRaWAN communication options. 
-  * **Certification:** Many variants are MID-certified (Class B EN50470-3), making them suitable for billing applications. 
-  * **Design:** Compact design (two modules wide, 36mm) for DIN rail mounting. 
-  
-**Technical Specifications** 
- 
-According to Eastron Europe and Camax.co.uk, the general specifications are as follows:  
- 
-^Specification^Detail| 
-|Nominal Voltage (Un)|230V AC (range 176~276V AC)| 
-|Base Current (Ib)|10A| 
-|Max. Current (Imax)|100A| 
-|Frequency|50/60 Hz (±10%)| 
-|Accuracy|Active Energy: Class 1 (IEC62053-21) / Class B (EN50470-3)| 
-|Power Consumption|<2W/10VA| 
-|Operating Temperature|-25°C to +55°C| 
-|Mounting|35mm DIN rail| 
-|IP Rating|IP51 (indoor)| 
- 
-==== Eastron SDM 230 Versions ====  
-The differences between versions of the Eastron SDM230 primarily involve physical wiring updates, communication defaults, and enhanced firmware features relating to energy measurement. 
- 
-^Feature^SDM230 V1^SDM230 V2 & V3| 
-^Physical Wiring Layout|Non-standard. Live In/Out at the top; Neutral In/Out at the bottom.|Standard. Live and Neutral In at the top; Live and Neutral Out at the bottom.| 
-^Energy Calculation|Basic energy measurement mode.|Enhanced "Net-counting" (better for solar/bidirectional energy).| 
-^Exported Energy|Limited export recording capability.|Separate and reliable measurement of exported energy (kWh).| 
-^Default Baud Rate|Often defaults to 2400 bps.|Often defaults to 9600 bps (configurable).| 
-^Resettable Energy|Single total energy counter.|Includes a second, user-resettable total energy counter.| 
-^Certifications|Older certifications|Updated MID certification options available| 
-^Firmware Date|Older builds|Recent builds (typically post-2018 for V2/V3)|

-==== Arduino & Eastron SDM 230 ==== 
-To use the Eastron SDM230 with an Arduino, you need an [[ttl_to_rs485|RS-485-to-TTL converter]] module and a library such as the **SDM_Energy_Meter** library by reaper7, since the meter uses Modbus RTU over RS-485. 
- 
-**Required Hardware** 
-  
-  * **Arduino Board:** e.g., Uno, Nano, or ESP32. 
-  * **RS485 Converter Module:** A module based on the [[ttl_to_rs485|MAX485]] or similar chip. 
-  * **Eastron SDM230:** Ensure its Modbus ID (address) and Baud Rate are noted (defaults are typically Address 1 and 2400 bps or 9600 bps; check your model's manual).
