2 Installation Instructions and Warnings
The SCB3000 is designed and tested in strict accordance with relevant safety regulations. However,
as electrical and electronic equipment, the following safety instructions must be observed during
installation and maintenance, and improper operation will cause serious injury and property damage to
the operator and a third party.
• The SCB3000 must be installed and maintained by professionals in accordance with local standards
and regulations.
• When installing and maintaining the SCB3000, power must be disconnected from the SCB3000 to
prevent electric shock.
• During operation, do not touch any live parts of the SCB3000, such as its internal components and
cables, to avoid electric shock.
• Before replacing any components within the SCB3000, power must be disconnected from the
SCB3000 and the newly replaced components must be ensured to meet the requirements for use of
the SCB3000, and GOODWE will not be liable for any personal harms or warranty claims arising from
noncompliance with this instruction.
• When the SCB3000 is in operation, do not plug in or remove any cable.
• The SCB3000 has an internal lightning protection module installed, inside which the PE is connected
to ground when installing the SCB3000.
• Ensure that the AC input voltage and current are matched with the voltage and current ratings of
SCB3000, otherwise the components could be damaged or not functioning properly, and GOODWE
will not be liable for any responsibilities or warranty claims arising from this mismatch.

3 Product Introduction
3.1 Product Overview
The SCB3000 is used in photovoltaic power generation systems to integrate data collectors,
allowing for the port aggregation, data acquisition and storage, as well as centralized monitoring and
maintenance of inverters, environment monitors and instrumentations in photovoltaic power generation
systems.
SCB3000 model description:
SCB3000 includes the SCB3000P00 and SCB3000P01. The SCB3000 is the name of the series of
photovoltaic communication boxes; P means that the local communication mode is PLC2.0; 00
means that the cloud communication method supports LAN; 01 means that the cloud
communication method supports LAN and optical bre. In this manual, the SCB3000P00 and
SCB3000P01 models are both referred to as the SCB3000.
Flexible networking:
Communication with inverters supported via PLC or RS485.
Communication with the server available via Ethernet, ber optics, etc.will not be liable for any
responsibilities or warranty claims arising from this mismatch.
Notice: When the SCB3000 uses PLC communication, it can only communicate with inverters supporting PLC2.0.
Currently, inverters equipped with PLC2.0 function include the HT and SMT series. For details, please contact the
Goodwe after-sales service centre.
3.2 Appearance Introduction
After opening the package, check the product to conrm whether it is consistent with the specications
of the SCB3000 you purchased. The appearance of the SCB3000 is shown in Figure 3.2-1.

4.5.3 Description of RS485 communication wiring
COM1, COM2 and COM3 are RS485 ports for communications with the inverter that can be left
unused if communications with inverter PLC can meet the requirements, users can choose to connect
COM1, COM2 or COM3 for communications with the inverter as needed.
If using the SCB3000 to connect with a environment monitor, the connection can be made to the
COM4 port via the RS485 cable.
Notice: 1. COM1, COM2 and COM3 are used only for communications with the inverter, while COM4 is only
connected to third-party equipment such as environment monitors, and must not be connected incorrectly.
2. For RS485 communication wiring, please use standard RS485 communication twisted pair.
3. The maximum number of inverters connected to each of COM1, COM2 and COM3 is 20 units, with the total of 60
units allowed for the 3 ports.
4. In the ports COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4, A corresponds to the differential signal +, and B corresponds to the
differential signal.
Wire specications and installation: for RS485 communication cables, shielded twisted pair cables with
a conductor cross-sectional area of 1mm² are recommended for use.
