General
EN-US
General Fronius Datamanager is a network-compatible datalogger which combines the
functionality of the Fronius Com Card and Fronius Datalogger Web on a plug-in
card.
The Fronius Datamanager web interface provides a quick overview of the photo-
voltaic system.
The web interface can be accessed via a direct connection from the Intranet or, if
properly configured, via the Internet.
Fronius Datamanager is equipped with an easy-to-configure system monitoring
feature with an automatic alarm. The alarm can be signaled via SMS, e-mail, or
fax.
Available Ver- The following versions of Fronius Datamanager are available for the Fronius IG,
sions of Fronius Fronius IG Plus and Fronius CL inverters:
Datamanager
- with Fronius Com Card function
- with Fronius Com Card function and with WiFi
Various different antenna installation sets are available with the WiFi versions,
depending on the inverter.
With the exception of the Fronius IG-TL and Fronius Agilo inverters, existing in-
verters can be upgraded with Fronius Datamanager.
Applicable DAT- The Fronius Datamanager plug-in card installed in the inverter can be operated

- For cabled internet solutions, Fronius recommends a download speed of at
least 512 kbit/s and an upload speed of
at least 256 kbit/s.
- For solutions with mobile internet services, Fronius recommends a minimum
transmission standard of 3G with reliable signal strength.
Since Fronius Datamanager acts as a data logger, no other data logger may be
present in the Fronius Solar Net ring.
Only have one Fronius Datamanager for each Fronius Solar Net ring.
The following DATCOM components may not be operated together with the
Fronius Datamanager in a Fronius Solar Net ring:
- Fronius Power Control Card/Box
- Fronius Modbus Card
- Fronius Datalogger Web
- Fronius Personal Display DL Box
- Fronius Datalogger easy/pro
- Fronius Datamanager 2.0
- Fronius Datamanager Box 2.0
To use Fronius Datamanager, the plug-in card must be installed in one inverter.
The Fronius Datamanager plug-in card and the Fronius Com Card must not be
used together in one inverter.
Required Invert- The following inverter software versions must be used in order to correctly dis-

FCC
EN-US
This device conforms to the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC regulations. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This device generates and uses high fre-
quency energy and, if not used in accordance with the instructions,
may interfere with radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-
tion.
If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the device off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
- Connect the device to a different circuit than the receiver.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

Calculating the data volume
General When operating the Fronius Datamanager, data is generated and needs to be
transmitted online.
In order to select a suitable internet connection it is necessary to calculate the
data volume.
Firmware ver- The data volume calculation is based on Fronius Datamanager Firmware versions
sions for calcu- V 2.3.x-x and lower.
lating the data
volume Higher firmware versions can cause a higher data volume due to their increased
functional range.
Calculating Data The data volume calculation depends on which Fronius Datamanager functions
Volumes are activated.
IMPORTANT: Since the values listed in the table are "rough data" for Fronius
Datamanager and the provider's bill may show discrepancies as a result of the
various ways of calculating the transfer volume, the total values should be in-
creased by 10–20%.
14
A certain data volume is also required to update the Fronius Datamanager firm-
EN-US
ware. This data volume depends on the size of the relevant update package and
cannot therefore be taken into account for any advance calculation of the data
volume.

IMPORTANT!
- 'Fronius Datamanager' may not have the same IP address as the PC/laptop!
- 'Fronius Datamanager' cannot connect to the internet by itself. A router
must be used for a DSL connection to the internet.
If you are using the WLAN network connection, the 'Fronius Datamanager' must
be equipped with a WLAN function and a WLAN antenna suitable for the invert-
er.
General Firewall DSL routers mostly enable you to send data to the internet and, therefore, do not

Configure the firewall so that the IP address of Fronius system monitoring can

cessary (e.g. for service purposes during a limited time period), configure the net-

work router so that requests for any external port are redirected to port 80/TCP.
Caution - this will make the inverter visible on the internet and more likely to be
subject to network attacks.

Settings – Energy Manager
General The output I/O 1 can be used to control an actuator (e.g., relay, contactor) via the
"Load Management" function.
A load connected to I/O 1 can thus be controlled by assigning a power feed-de-
pendent switch-on or switch-off point.

Controlling
(1) Control via Energy Manager is deactivated.
(3) Control via Energy Manager is effected by excess power (given feed lim-
its).
This option can only be selected if a counter has been connected. Control
via Energy Manager is effected using the actual power of feeding in with
respect to the grid.
Thresholds

For entering an effective power limit, at which the I/O 1 output is activ-

To limit inverter control to one or more devices, enter the IP addresses
of the devices which are permitted to send commands to Fronius

The ripple control signal receiver and the 'Fronius Datamanager' plug are con-
nected to one another using a 4-pin cable in accordance with the connection dia-
gram.
For distances of greater than 10 m between 'Fronius Datamanager' and the
ripple control signal receiver, a shielded cable is recommended.

UC Editor – Dy- UCs or utility companies can prescribe feed-in limits for an inverter (e.g., max.
namic Power Re- 70% of the kWp or max. 5 kW).
duction Dynamic power reduction takes into account self-consumption in the household
before the power of an inverter is reduced:
- An individual limit can be set.
- A counter for determining self-consumption per S0 can be connected dir-
ectly to the inverter (for Fronius Galvo, Fronius Symo, Fronius Primo, and
Fronius Eco only).
