Gateway-Free, Simplified Connectivity | Eastron SDM230-Lora P2P Ushers in a New Era of Wireless Energy Monitoring

Industry Context

As applications for new energy and smart energy systems continue to evolve, traditional wired solutions often face challenges—such as complex cabling and difficult retrofitting—that hinder their ability to meet the need for flexible deployment in energy monitoring.

The Eastron SDM230-Lora P2P single-phase multifunction smart meter utilizes LoRa point-to-point wireless communication technology to enable remote data acquisition without the need for an additional gateway, offering a simpler and more flexible metering solution for energy monitoring.

Versatile Applications

Designed for various energy management scenarios, the SDM230-Lora P2P is suitable for a wide range of applications:

Distributed PV systems: Real-time monitoring of power generation, consumption, and energy flow;

Home energy management: Helping users track household electricity usage;

EV charging infrastructure: Meeting requirements for electricity metering and data management during the charging process;

Commercial buildings and industrial settings: Addressing needs for equipment energy consumption monitoring and energy management.

The SDM230-Lora P2P smart meter supports measurements for single-phase AC systems, monitoring parameters such as voltage, current, power, power factor, frequency, and forward/reverse energy, thereby providing reliable data for subsequent energy analysis and system management.

Robust Capabilities

Wireless Communication: Simplified Deployment

The SDM230-Lora P2P connects to the ES-LR1 receiver module via LoRa point-to-point communication. This eliminates the need for additional communication gateways, reduces the total number of system devices, and simplifies on-site installation and commissioning.

Long-Range Transmission: Meeting Diverse Application Needs

Utilizing 868MHz LoRa wireless technology and supporting a maximum transmit power of 22dBm, the device meets data transmission requirements across various environments—such as buildings and industrial parks—providing stable communication for remote energy monitoring.

Bidirectional Metering: Suited for New Energy Applications

As the adoption of new energy applications like photovoltaics and energy storage grows, the demand for monitoring bidirectional energy flow increases. The SDM230-Lora P2P supports bidirectional metering of active and reactive energy (forward and reverse), enabling analysis of energy flow in new energy scenarios.

Easy Installation: Enhanced Deployment Efficiency

The product features a standard 35mm DIN-rail mounting design and supports direct connection for currents up to 100A. By eliminating the need for external current transformers, it reduces installation steps and improves project deployment efficiency.

Dual Communication Modes: Facilitating System Integration

Supporting both RS485 Modbus RTU and LoRa point-to-point communication, the device integrates seamlessly with energy management systems such as AMR and SCADA, enabling centralized data management and remote monitoring.

As the digitalization of the energy sector advances, smart metering devices are playing an increasingly vital role in energy data acquisition and management. The Eastron SDM230-Lora P2P smart meter simplifies deployment through wireless communication and meets energy monitoring needs with precise measurement, offering a more flexible and reliable metering solution for smart energy applications.
