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 photovol-
taic 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 Sol-
ar.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.
Available ver- The Fronius Datamanager 2.0 is available in the following versions:
sions of the - Without Fronius Com Card function

Prerequisites for In order to ensure flawless data exchange online, a suitable internet connection
operation 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 dro-
pouts 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 recom-
mend 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 con-
nection 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:
- Fronius Power Control Card/Box
- Fronius Modbus Card
- Fronius Datalogger Web
- Fronius Personal Display DL Box
- Fronius Datalogger easy/pro
- Fronius Datamanager
- Fronius Datamanager 2.0 Box
To use the Fronius Datamanager 2.0

Calculating the data volume
General When operating Fronius Datamanager 2.0, 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 2.0.
Firmware Ver- The data volume calculation is based on Fronius Datamanager 2.0 firmware ver-
sions for Calcu- sions V 3.3.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 2.0 func-
volumes tions are activated.

3) Depending on the quality of the internet connection
IMPORTANT! Since the values listed in the table are "rough data" for Fronius
Datamanager 2.0 and the provider's bill may show discrepancies as a result of the
various methods of calculating the transfer volume, the total value should be in-
creased by 10–20%.
If the functions have been deactivated, no data volume is generated.
16
A certain data volume is also required to update the Fronius Datamanager 2.0
EN-US
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.
IMPORTANT! Fronius recommends a flat rate in order to avoid unforeseeable

data volumes.

General information for the network administrat-
EN-US
or
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 in-
ternet. The IP address of the DSL router can be used as a gateway address, for
example.
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.
General Firewall DSL routers mostly enable you to send data to the internet and, therefore, do not
Settings normally have to be configured.
Server addresses for data transfer

If a firewall is used for outgoing connections, the following protocols, server ad-
dresses 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.telemetry.azure.devices.net:8883
- Fdmp-solarweb.com:49049 (dm local port 54321)
- Tcp http://www3.fronius.com:80
- Tcp ftp://transfer.fronius.com:21
- Tcp provisioning-lite.solarweb.com:443
- Tcp froniusseiot.blob.core.windows.net:443
If existing firewall rules block the connection to the Fronius system monitoring,
the following firewall rules must be added:
19
49049/UDP 80/TCP *)

- x
ar.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 sys-
tem monitoring from a secure network. If access via the internet is absolutely ne-
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.
Sending Service Normally, no additional router configuration is required for a regular DSL inter-

Settings – Passwords
EN-US
General Access to Fronius Datamanager 2.0 is regulated by assigning passwords.
Three different password types are available:
- the administrator password
- the service password
- the user password
Passwords Administrator Password

User name = admin
The administrator password set during commissioning assigns the user read and
write (configuration) access. The user can then open the “Settings” menu item
and define any settings as desired, with the exception of the UC Editor and
Meter.
When an administrator password is set, the user must enter the user name and
password to open the “Settings” menu item.
Service Password
User name = service
The service password is usually assigned in the Commissioning Wizard by the ser-
vice technician or system installer and provides access to system-specific para-
meters. The service password is required to adjust meter settings and settings in
the UC Editor. If no service password has been assigned, the Meter and UC Edit-
or menu items cannot be accessed.
User Password
After activating the “Save local site page” selection field, the user password is
displayed; user name = user.
An assigned user password gives the user read access only. The user cannot open
the “Settings” menu item.
When assigning a user password, users must enter their username and password
every time they connect.

Internet via LAN
Setting options:
- “Obtain addressstatically”
The user has to enter a fixed IP address for the Datamanager (system monit-
oring), the subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS server address (from the
provider).
- “Obtain addressdynamically”
The Datamanager (system monitoring) obtains its IP address from a DHCP
server (DHCP = dynamic host configuration protocol).
The DHCP server must be configured so that the Datamanager is always as-
signed the same IP address. You will then always know the IP address at
which the Datamanager (system monitoring) can be found.
If the DHCP server supports the “DNS dynamic updates” function, a name
can be entered for the Datamanager (system monitoring) in the “Host name”
field. The connection to the Datamanager (system monitoring) can then be
established using the name instead of the IP address.
For example: Host name = sample_system, Domain name = fronius.com.
The Datamanager (system monitoring) can be reached via the address
“sample_system.fronius.com”.

Settings - load management
General The outputs I/O 0 - I/O 3 can be used to control an actuator (e.g., relay, contact-
or) via the load management function.
A connected load can thus be controlled by assigning a power feed-dependent
switch-on or switch-off point.
Load manage- Control

ment "deactivated": Control via Energy Management is deactivated.
"by the power generated": Control via Energy Management takes place through
the power generated
"by excess power (given feed limits)": Control via Energy Management is effected
by excess power (given feed limits).
This option can only be selected if a meter has been connected. If the I/Os have
a higher priority than the battery, the possible charging power of the battery is
considered to be surplus. In this case, the switching threshold must not be
defined on the gateway.
Thresholds
"on": For entering an effective power limit at which the I/O output is activated
"off": For entering an effective power limit at which the I/O output is deactivated.
If "by excess power" is selected under "Control," additional selection fields for
"Feed" and "Reference" are displayed under "Thresholds."
Runtimes
"Minimum runtime for each switch-on process": Field for entering a minimum
time for which the I/O output is to be activated for each switch-on process.
"Maximum runtime per day": Field for entering a maximum time for which the I/
O output is to be activated in total per day (several switch-on processes are in-
cluded).
Target runtime
"per day": Field for entering a minimum time for which the I/O output is to be ac-
tivated per day.
"achieved by": Field for selecting the time, if the target runtime is to be achieved
by a certain time
Status
If the mouse pointer is moved over the status, the reason for the current status
is displayed.
IMPORTANT!
If several load outputs are used, they are activated at an interval of one minute
depending on the priority (max. 4 rule = max. 4 minutes).

Two ripple control signal receivers, connected to the Fronius Datamanager 2.0 IOs
(1) Ripple control signal receiver with three relays for effective power limita-
tion
(2) Ripple control signal receiver with three relays for power factor limitation
(3) I/Os on the Fronius Datamanager 2.0
(4) Loads (e.g., signal light, signal relay)
The ripple control signal receiver and the Fronius Datamanager 2.0 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 the Fronius Datamanager 2.0 and
the ripple control signal receiver, a shielded cable is recommended.
Six pins must be defined under IO Control under the IO Assignment menu item
for this application.

UC Editor – AUS IMPORTANT! To control an inverter via DRM the inverter has to have a Fronius
– Demand Re- DRM Interface (item number 4,240,005).
sponse Modes Assembly and installation are described in the Installation Instructions of the
(DRM) Fronius DRM. The Installation Instructions for the Fronius DRM Interface is
available on the Fronius homepage on:
“Reactive power output”– to enter the reactive power output (= +Qrel) for DRM 3
in %
“Reactive power input”– to enter the reactive power input (= +Qrel) for DRM 7 in
%
UC Editor – dy- Energy companies or utility companies can prescribe feed-in limits for an invert-
namic power re- er (e.g., max. 70% of the kWp or max. 5 kW).
duction Dynamic power reduction takes account of self-consumption in the household
before the power of an inverter is reduced:
- An individual limit can be set.
- A meter for determining self-consumption per S0 can be connected directly
to the inverter.
- A Fronius Smart Meter can be connected to the Datamanager at the D-/D+
connections for Modbus data.
"No limit" – the inverter converts all available PV energy and feeds it into the
public grid.
"Limit for the entire system" – The entire photovoltaic system is limited to a
fixed power limit. A value must be set for the permissible total feed-in power.
"Limit per phase (not for single-phase devices)" - Each individual phase is meas-
ured. If the permissible feed-in limit is exceeded on one phase, the total power of
the inverter is reduced until the value on the affected phase is permissible again
(see example below). This setting is only necessary if required by national stand-
ards and regulations. A value must be set for the permissible total feed-in power
for each phase.
"Limit per phase" is limited to 20 inverters. If the limit is exceeded, the function
of the power limitation is no longer given.

This value is used as a control reference and also in case of a fault (e. g., meter
failure).

place, negative values are also possible)
If no meter has been selected under the "Meter" menu item:
max. power generated for the entire system
If Fronius Smart Meter or S0 inverter has been selected under the "Meter" menu
item: max. energy fed into the grid
"Hard Limit" - If this value is exceeded, the inverter switches off within max. 5
seconds. This value must be higher than the value set for "Soft Limit".
"Soft Limit" - If this value is exceeded, the inverter readjusts down to the set
value within the time required by the national standards and regulations.
