It is the designated companion meter for \u003cstrong\u003eIconica grid-tie hybrid inverters\u003c\/strong\u003e, enabling the \u003cstrong\u003eself-consumption (export limitation) function\u003c\/strong\u003e that controls power generation and battery charging based on live grid import\/export readings. Communication uses the \u003cstrong\u003eRS-485 Modbus RTU protocol\u003c\/strong\u003e — the meter connects to the inverter via the \u003cstrong\u003eIC-MODBUS RS-485 card\u003c\/strong\u003e (sold separately) which plugs into the inverter's intelligent slot. The SDM630-Modbus V2 measures and displays \u003cstrong\u003evoltage, current, frequency, power, power factor, THD%, and imported\/exported active and reactive energy\u003c\/strong\u003e in kWh and kVArh, with \u003cstrong\u003ebi-directional metering\u003c\/strong\u003e supporting net-count calculation (Total = Import − Export). The built-in direct-connection current path accepts up to \u003cstrong\u003e80A\u003c\/strong\u003e — no external current transformers required — making the installation cost-effective and straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Spec Discrepancy Notice --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"border-left:4px solid #e6a817; background:#fff8e8; padding:14px 16px; border-radius:5px; margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"color:#b37d00;\"\u003e⚠ Specification Note — Direct Connection Current Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    The product listing from Photonic Universe describes this meter as a \"100A direct connection\" unit.

border-top:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eYes — the \u003cstrong\u003eIC-MODBUS RS-485 Modbus card\u003c\/strong\u003e must be fitted into the Iconica inverter's intelligent slot. The RS-485 cable (pins: A, B, GND) then runs between the meter and the card. The meter and card must be configured with matching Modbus settings: address 001, 19200 bps, no parity, 1 stop bit for single-inverter applications.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #ddd; border-top:none; padding:0;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px; cursor:pointer; font-weight:600; background:#f4f4f4;\"\u003eWhere should I install the meter — at the inverter or at the grid connection point?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:13px 16px; border-top:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eThe meter must be installed at the \u003cstrong\u003egrid connection point\u003c\/strong\u003e (typically at the main consumer unit or distribution board, before any load branching), so it measures total household import and export.

The Photonic Universe listing quotes 100A. Until Eastron publishes a revised datasheet confirming 100A, the \u003cstrong\u003e80A manual figure is the conservative and authoritative limit\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The SDM630-Modbus V2 supports \u003cstrong\u003ethree-inverter parallel applications\u003c\/strong\u003e when each inverter is fitted with an IC-MODBUS card. Each card must be configured with a \u003cstrong\u003eunique Modbus ID\u003c\/strong\u003e (IDs 2, 3, and 4 for the three inverter cards) and all cards set to \u003cstrong\u003eserver mode\u003c\/strong\u003e.
