General remarks

The Fronius system monitoring feature is a networked datalogger that manages to com-
bine the functions of the Fronius Com Card, the Fronius Datalogger Web, the Fronius Pow-
er Control Card and the Fronius Modbus Card on a single plug-in card.
The Fronius system monitoring web page offers a rapid overview of the photovoltaic sys-
tem.
It can be accessed via a web browser when there is a direct connection or – if configured
to support an indirect connection – over the Internet.
Fronius system monitoring is easy to configure and provides automatic alerts. Alerts can
be sent via SMS or e-mail.

If the feature is used in conjunction with Fronius Solar.web, current data and archive data
can be accessed for a particular photovoltaic system via the Internet or the Fronius So-
lar.web App without the need for any laborious configuration work. Fronius system moni-
toring automatically sends the data to Fronius Solar.web.

Prerequisites for
operation

So that data can be exchanged smoothly over the Internet, you must have a suitable Inter-
net connection:
-

For wired Internet solutions, Fronius recommends a download speed of at least 512
kbit/s and a minimum upload speed of
256 kbit/s.

-

For solutions that rely on mobile Internet services, Fronius recommends 3G transmis-
sion as a minimum, plus a reliable signal.

Even if these specifications are adhered to, there is still no guarantee that everything will
run smoothly.
High error rates during transmission, variable reception conditions or transmission drop-
outs can all have a detrimental effect on the online functionality of Fronius system monitor-
ing.
Fronius recommends testing any connections that meet the minimum requirements locally.
