Eastron SDM630MCT energy meter

Register map(s) for this device, each at the trust rung it earned. Addresses are 0-based as on the wire. Word order and scaling are confirmed at the hardware-verified rung and at no rung below it.

interop-verified

Read + decoded cleanly over a real network vs an independent third-party Modbus test server (transport and framing; reads are remapped into the server's register window, so the map's own addresses are NOT exercised). Does NOT prove word order/scaling against the actual device.

field reports — community-sourced, unverified (checked 2026-06-11)

On the Eastron SDM630MCT+ESCT-TA16 120A/40mA model, a discrepancy occurs where the meter sums export and import values without signs (i.e., it is not a 'balanced' meter), causing incorrect total export/import values to be transmitted to SolisCloud. This requires a specific firmware update to resolve. [source]
On MID-certified versions of the meter (such as SDM630MCT-E-MID), once the CT ratio is set, it is permanently locked and cannot be reconfigured remotely or locally to comply with MID regulations. [source]

The trust ladder

Each rung states what it proved and what it did not. Gray until proven; green is earned by hardware only.

generated — A prompt produced it. Unproven — anyone can regenerate this.
structure-verified — Decode path is structurally sound (addresses, widths, finite values). Does NOT prove word order or scaling.
interop-verified — Read + decoded cleanly over a real network vs an independent third-party Modbus test server (transport and framing; reads are remapped into the server's register window, so the map's own addresses are NOT exercised). Does NOT prove word order/scaling against the actual device.
simulator-verified — Decoded correctly against a protocol emulator seeded with known-true values — catches word-order/scaling errors vs the emulator, not the physical device.
hardware-verified x1 — Matched a real device with operator-attested readings as ground truth — the only rung that confirms word order + scaling on the wire.

If your device isn't here, upload its register map. Generation is free, and the connector keeps the rung it earns under testing.

To prove a connector against your own device, order hardware verification. If it doesn't verify, you don't pay.

Platform builders can license the verified library: machine-readable maps, the firmware matrix, API access.
