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.

Calculation of memory sectors per day according to Chapter "Calculating Memory
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.
12
IMPORTANT: Fronius recommends a flat rate in order to avoid unforeseeable data volumes.

General information for the network administrator
Requirements
NOTE! Configuring a network for Fronius Datamanager requires knowledge of network technology.
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:
Sending service messages
Connecting to datalogger via
Fronius Solar.web
Connecting to datalogger via
Fronius Solar.access or
Fronius Solar.service
Access to the Fronius Datamanager web interface
49049/UDP output x x
-
-
Service messages are sent via Fronius Solar.web.
15015/TCP input
-
x
-
80/TCP input
-
x x
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
15
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.

Calculating memory capacity
Memory capacity
The Fronius Datamanager has a memory capacity of up to 5 years and 7 months for a PV system with one inverter and a save interval of 15 minutes.
However, the memory capacity is reduced accordingly depending on the number of inverters and/or Fronius sensor cards/boxes that are integrated into the system.
Calculating memory capacity
1
Determine logging points for inverters and Fronius sensor cards/boxes
Logging points per day =
Logging duration [min]
Save interval [min]
Logging duration [min]
For inverter: e.g., 14 hours = 840 minutes
For Fronius Sensor Card/Fronius Sensor Box: 24 hours = 1440 minutes
2
Calculate the total logging points
Total logging points =
= (number of inverters x logging points per day) + (number of Fronius Sensor Cards/
Boxes x logging points per day)
3
Determine memory sectors per day
Memory sectors per day =
Total logging points
114
4
5
Round to whole numbers
Determine memory capacity
Memory capacity [days] =
2048
Memory sectors per day
54
Calculation example
2 inverters, logging duration = 14 hours (840 minutes)
1 Fronius Sensor Card, logging duration = 24 hours (1440 minutes)
Save interval = 15 minutes
1.
Logging points per day:
Inverter logging points =
Sensor Card logging points =
840 min
15 min
1440 min
15 min
= 56
= 96
2.
Total logging points:
Total logging points = (2 x 56) + (1 x 96) = 208
(2 x 56) ... 2 inverters, (1 x 96) ... 1 Sensor Card
3.
Memory sectors per day:
Memory sectors =
208

Obtain IP address statically
The user enters a fixed IP address for Fronius Datamanager and also manually sets the subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS server address (from the provider).
Obtain IP address dynamically
Fronius Datamanager obtains its IP address from a DHCP server (DHCP = dynamic host configuration protocol).
The DHCP server must be configured so that Fronius Datamanager is always assigned the same IP address. You will then always know the IP address at which
Fronius Datamanager can be found.
If the DHCP server supports the "DNS dynamic updates" function, a name can be entered for Fronius Datamanager in the "Host name" field. The connection to Fronius Datamanager can then be established using the name instead of the IP address.
For example: Host name = sample_system, Domain name = fronius.com.
The Fronius Datamanager can be reached via the address "sample_system.fronius.com".

UC Editor – Dynamic Power Reduction
UCs or utility companies can prescribe feed-in limits for an inverter (e.g., max. 70% of the kWp or max. 5 kW).
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 directly to the inverter (for Fronius Galvo, Fronius Symo, Fronius Primo, and Fronius Eco only).
