Comprehensive analysis
and viewing options
The professional solution for PV system monitoring for those who
want to analyze and view detailed system data onsite from their PC.

User-friendly program.
A well-thought-out interactive
program structure makes Fronius
DATCOM software easy to
operate. In addition, all Fronius
software applications have a
uniform design. This gets you
up and running as quickly as
possible.
Direct onsite system control
The Fronius DATCOM basic system for analyzing and
viewing system data consists of three components:
A Fronius Datalogger, one Fronius Com Card per inverter
and the free Fronius Solar.access software.
The Fronius Com Card is a network card that each
inverter requires for data communication. Among other
things, it supplies power to the entire Fronius DATCOM
system.
The Fronius Datalogger is the connection between
inverters and the PC and records all system details.
The Fronius Datalogger Web has a USB port for the
connection of an optional WLAN stick. This makes
integration into an existing network structure very
simple.
The Fronius Solar.access software enables you to
view and process data as well as monitor your system
directly from your PC.
Fronius Solar.access:
Data viewing made easy
Fronius Solar.access is intelligent software for
recording, archiving and analyzing system data on
the PC. It is used for the comprehensive analysis and
display of system performance data using clear
diagrams and graphs. You can configure the software
parameters of all inverter system components as
well as Fronius DATCOM components using Fronius
Solar.access.
Fronius Solar.access is included free with the
Datalogger. The latest version can be downloaded
online at www.fronius-usa.com from the Solar
Electronics / Downloads section.
Function overview
Extensive. Up to 100 inverters can be managed in one
system.
Clear. Real-time and archived data are displayed in
easy-to-understand diagrams and graphs (line and bar
charts, zoom function).
Comparison. Daily, monthly or yearly information can
be set up and compared to each other.
Notification function. Service messages or energy
reports are sent via e-mail.
Automatic data download. The system data saved
in the Datalogger are automatically transmitted to the
software at regular intervals.

Clear. PV system performance data are displayed
by Fronius Solar.access in easy-to-understand
diagrams and graphs.
Fronius Datalogger Easy / Pro: The
heart of the Fronius DATCOM system
The Fronius Datalogger is the connection between
inverters and the PC. Here the data are bundled and
processed for Fronius Solar.access software. The
Datalogger is simple to connect to the inverter using
the plug & play principle. Available as a card or box,
it saves every system detail over a period of up to
3 years. The Datalogger can also be used for remote
monitoring when used in combination with a modem.
The Fronius Datalogger easy is designed for use
with systems with one inverter. Systems with several
inverters require the Fronius Datalogger pro, Datalogger
Web, or Datalogger Interface Box.
Fronius Datalogger Web: The core of
new technology
Fronius Datalogger Web offers completely new options
for PV system analysis and monitoring. It can be
easily integrated into existing network structures via
the Ethernet port or an optional WLAN stick. Fronius
Datalogger Web functions like your own small web
server that automatically converts system data into
a website. The Fronius Datalogger website can be
accessed by several users simultaneously via any
common browser independent of the operating system.
This enables you to get real time system information for
up to 100 inverters whenever you want.
Energy comparison. You can easily compare
the earnings from several inverters using Fronius
Solar.access.
Informative. Fronius Datalogger Web's own
website provides a quick look at essential system
data.
Fronius Datalogger Web offers three data
communication paths.
Using Fronius Solar.access via a LAN or a WLAN
stick. Using Fronius Solar.access software, you can
save, manage and analyze all system data locally on
your PC. Fronius Solar.access can connect directly
to Fronius Datalogger Web and enables you to set
different software parameters, for example, for all
system components in the network.
Using a browser via a LAN or a WLAN stick to the
Datalogger website. Fronius Datalogger Web's own
website provides a quick look at essential system data.
You can access it using a browser without having to
install additional software. This is optimal for providing
several users with information in a local network. If the
LAN can be accessed remotely over the internet, then
users can access the Datalogger Web remotely as well.
Using Fronius Solar.web via the Internet. If desired,
Fronius Datalogger Web can send data automatically
to the Fronius Solar.web Internet platform. This enables
you to access real time system data as well as archived
data anytime, anywhere via the Internet.
Fronius Datalogger Web

Fronius DATCOM
additional components
The Fronius DATCOM system can be upgraded at any time
with optional components to provide more functionality and
simpler operation.
Fronius Interface Card / Box
Fronius Interface Card Easy
The Fronius Interface Card / Box is used for individual
processing of system data via an open data protocol.
The Fronius Interface Card easy is recommended for
systems with only one inverter and does not require a
Datalogger.
Fronius Sensor Card / Box
Using the Fronius Sensor Card / Box, you can integrate
sensors into the Fronius DATCOM system for measuring
irradiance, ambient temperature, module temperature,
power consumption, etc.
Fronius Datalogger & Interface Box
Combining a Fronius Datalogger pro and a Fronius
Interface Card into one housing saves installation time
and costs.
Fronius Converter RS232 Box / Card
Fronius Converter USB
The Fronius converter enables the easy utilization of
third party components for professional PV system
monitoring. The Fronius converters transform the
RS422 interface of the Fronius DATCOM system into
Fronius Converter USB
a RS232 hardware interface or into a USB hardware
interface. There is no need for conversion of the
software protocol.

Remote monitoring
made easy
Fronius Solar.web is the free online service for remote system monitoring. You can
easily monitor, analyze and compare PV systems from any PC connected to the
Internet. Real time system data are available 24/7 and presented in a way that is
easy to understand.
