General
General Fronius Datamanager is a network-compatible datalogger which combines the functional-
ity 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 photovoltaic 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.
When connected to Fronius Solar.access, real-time photovoltaic system data as well as archived data can be saved to a PC and analyzed. You can also make settings to all devices
in Fronius Solar Net.
When connected to Fronius Solar.web, the real-time and archived data of a photovoltaic
system can be easily accessed via the Internet or the Fronius Solar.web App. No difficult
configuration is required. Data is sent automatically from Fronius Datamanager to Fronius
Solar.web.
Available Versions of Fronius
Datamanager
The following versions of Fronius Datamanager are available for the Fronius Galvo,
Fronius Symo, Fronius Primo, and Fronius Eco inverters:
- Without Fronius Com Card function
- Without Fronius Com Card function and with WLAN
Provided that the inverter is not fitted as standard with Fronius Datamanager, existing inverters can be upgraded with Fronius Datamanager.
Applicable DATCOM Components
The Fronius Datamanager plug-in card installed in the inverter can be operated with the
following DATCOM components:
- up to 100 x Fronius inverters
(incl. the inverter in which the Fronius Datamanager is installed)
- up to 10 x Fronius Sensor Card or Fronius Sensor Box
- up to 10 x Fronius Public Display Card or Fronius Public Display Box
- up to 1 x Fronius Interface Card or Fronius Interface Box
- up to 200 x Fronius String Control
8
Prerequisites for
Operation
In order to ensure flawless data exchange online, it is essential to use an appropriate internet connection:
- 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.
These specifications do not provide an absolute guarantee of flawless operation.
High error rates in the transmission, fluctuating receptions or misfires can have an adverse
effect on Fronius Datamanager's online operation.
Fronius recommends on-site testing to ensure that the connections meet the minimum requirements.
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.

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.
The following data volume calculation provides an overview of the amount of data generated when operating Fronius Datamanager.
Firmware versions for calculating the data
volume
The data volume calculation is based on Fronius Datamanager Firmware versions V 2.3.xx and lower.
Higher firmware versions can cause a higher data volume due to their increased functional
range.
Calculating Data
Volumes
The data volume calculation depends on which Fronius Datamanager functions are activated.
1)
Only after a restart or if the internet connection has been disconnected
2)
Calculation of memory sectors per day according to Chapter "Calculating Memory
Capacity" on page 54
3)
Depending on the quality of the internet connection
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 increased by 10–20%.
If the functions have been deactivated, no data volume is generated.
A certain data volume is also required to update the Fronius Datamanager firmware. 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.

General information for the network administrator
Requirements
If Fronius Datamanager is being integrated into an existing network, the Fronius Datamanager address must be adapted to the network.
Example: Network address range = 192.168.1.x, subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
- An IP address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 must be assigned to Fronius
Datamanager.
- The IP address selected may not be already assigned in the network.
- The subnet mask must correspond to the existing network (e.g. 255.255.255.0).
If Fronius Datamanager will be sending service messages and/or data to Fronius Solar.web, then a gateway address and a DNS server address must also be entered. Fronius
Datamanager uses the gateway address to access the Internet. The IP address of the DSL
router can be used as a gateway address, for example.
IMPORTANT!
- Fronius Datamanager may not have the same IP address as the PC/laptop!
- Fronius Datamanager cannot connect to the Internet spontaneously. 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 inverter.
General Firewall
Settings
A firewall must be configured as follows in order to use the different Fronius Datamanager
functions:
Service messages are sent via Fronius Solar.web.
Configure the firewall so that the IP address of Fronius Datamanager can send data to port
49049/UDP from fdmp.solarweb.com.
DSL routers mostly enable you to send data to the internet and, therefore, do not normally
have to be configured.
To access the Fronius Datamanager web interface outside of the LAN:
- Configure the network router so that requests are forwarded to port 80/TCP on Fronius
Datamanager
NOTE! Configuring a network for Fronius Datamanager requires knowledge of
network technology.

Sending service
messages via a
DSL Internet connection
Normally, no additional router configuration is required for a regular DSL Internet connection for accessing 'Fronius Solar.web' and/or sending service messages, because connections from the LAN to the Internet are open.
Using Fronius Solar.web and sending service
messages
However, an internet connection is required to use Fronius Solar.web and send service
messages.
Fronius Datamanager cannot connect to the Internet spontaneously. A router must be
used for a DSL connection to the Internet.

Installing Fronius Datamanager
23
EN-US
Inserting Fronius Datamanager into an inverter
General Provided the Fronius Datamanager plug-in card is not fitted as standard in the inverter, the
plug-in card must be inserted into the inverter in accordance with the operating or installation instructions of the inverter in question. Please note the safety and warning information
in your inverter's operating instructions.
IMPORTANT! Before inserting the Fronius Datamanager plug-in card, remove any existing Fronius Power Control Card, or Fronius Modbus Card!
Safety
WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Danger from grid voltage and DC volt-
age from solar modules.
- The connection area should only be opened by a licensed electrician.
- The separate power stage set area should only be disconnected from the
connection area after first being disconnected from the grid power.
- The separate power stage set area should only be opened by Fronius-trained
service personnel.
Before making any connections, make sure that the AC and DC sides are disconnected from the inverter, e.g.:
- Switch off the AC automatic circuit breaker for the inverter
- Cover solar modules
Please observe the 5 safety rules.
WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Danger from residual voltage from capacitors.
You must wait until the capacitors have discharged.
NOTE! Follow general ESD precautions when handling plug-in cards.
