General

General The Fronius Datamanager 2.0 is a network-compatible datalogger which com-

bines the functionality of the Fronius Com Card, the Fronius Datalogger Web,
the Fronius Power Control Card, and the Fronius Modbus Card on one plug-in
card.
The Fronius Datamanager 2.0 website provides a quick overview of the photovol­taic system.
The website can be accessed with a web browser via a direct connection or on the
internet, if properly configured.

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
the Fronius Datamanager 2.0 to Fronius Solar.web. Fronius Solar.web is equipped
with an easy-to-configure system monitoring feature with an automatic alarm.
The alarm can be signaled via SMS or e-mail.

Prerequisites for
operation

In order to ensure flawless data exchange online, a suitable internet connection
is required:

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, reception fluctuations, or connection dro­pouts can have an adverse effect on Fronius Datamanager 2.0's online operation.
Fronius recommends on-site testing to ensure that the connections meet the
minimum requirements.

For operation with an antenna extension.
If you want to connect your inverter(s) to the internet using WLAN, we recom­mend the following approach:

Test your signal strength in the exact position where the inverter is to be in-

-

stalled and make sure the Datamanager 2.0 card is activated.
Connect to the WLAN network using a smartphone, laptop, or tablet, and

-

test the connection.
The free website "www.speedtest.net" can be used to check whether the con­nection meets our recommended download speed of at least 512 kbit/s and
an upload speed of 256 kbit/s.

Since the Fronius Datamanager 2.0 acts as a datalogger, no other datalogger may
be present in the Fronius Solar Net ring.
There must only be one Fronius Datamanager 2.0 for each Fronius Solar Net ring.
The Fronius Datamanager 2.0 must be in secondary mode if installed in Fronius
Galvo and Fronius Symo inverters.

The following DATCOM components must not be operated together with Fronius
Datamanager 2.0 in a Fronius Solar Net ring:

Calculating the data volume

General When operating Fronius Datamanager 2.0, data are generated and need to be

transmitted via the internet.
In order to select a suitable internet connection, it is necessary to calculate the
data volume.

-

Firmware updates

-

Remote control (VPP, Cloud Control)

-

Fault diagnosis by technical support

-

Remote system monitoring via Fronius Solar.web

-

IMPORTANT! Fronius recommends a flat rate to avoid costs for data volumes
that were not taken into account in the preliminary calculation.

General information for the network administrat­or

Requirements Configuring a network for Fronius Datamanager 2.0 requires knowledge of net-

work technology.

If Fronius Datamanager 2.0 is being integrated into an existing network, the
Fronius Datamanager 2.0 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 2.0.
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 2.0 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 2.0 uses the gateway address to access the in­ternet. The IP address of the DSL router can be used as a gateway address, for
example.

EN-US

General Firewall
Settings

IMPORTANT!

Fronius Datamanager 2.0 may not have the same IP address as the PC/

-

laptop!
Fronius Datamanager 2.0 cannot connect itself to the internet. A router

-

must be used for a DSL connection to the internet.

DSL routers mostly enable you to send data to the internet and, therefore, do not
normally have to be configured.

Server addresses for data transfer

If a firewall is used for outgoing connections, the following protocols, server ad­dresses and ports must be allowed for successful data transfer:

Tcp fronius-se-iot-dm-1.azure.devices.net:8883

-

Tcp fronius-se-iot-dm-1.azure.devices.net:443

-

Tcp fronius-se-iot-dm-2.azure.devices.net:8883

-

Tcp provisioning-lite.solarweb.com:443

-

Tcp froniusseiot.blob.core.windows.net:443

-

Upd/Tcp 0.time.fronius.com:123

-

If existing firewall rules block the connection to the Fronius system monitoring,
the following firewall rules must be added:

17

49049/UDP

80/TCP *)

Sending Service
Messages via a
DSL Internet
Connection

output

Sending service messages x -

Connecting to Datamanager via Fronius Sol­ar.web

Connecting to Datamanager via Fronius Sol­ar.access or Fronius Solar.Service

Accessing the Datamanager website - x

Configure the firewall so that the IP address of Fronius system monitoring can
send data to port 49049/UDP from “fdmp.solarweb.com”.

*) We recommend only allowing access to the web interface of the Fronius sys­tem monitoring from a secure network. If access via the internet is absolutely ne­cessary (e.g. for service purposes during a limited time period), configure the net­work 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.

Normally, no additional router configuration is required for a regular DSL inter­net connection to access Fronius Solar.web and/or send service messages, be­cause connections from the LAN to the internet are open.
