User-friendly program.<br />
A well-thought-out interactive<br />
program structure makes <strong>Fronius</strong><br />
<strong>DATCOM</strong> software easy to<br />
operate. In addition, all <strong>Fronius</strong><br />
software applications have a<br />
uniform design. This gets you<br />
up and running as quickly as<br />
possible.<br />
Direct onsite system control<br />
The <strong>Fronius</strong> <strong>DATCOM</strong> basic system for analyzing and<br />
viewing system data consists of three components:<br />
A <strong>Fronius</strong> Datalogger, one <strong>Fronius</strong> Com Card per inverter<br />
and the free <strong>Fronius</strong> Solar.access software.<br />
The <strong>Fronius</strong> Com Card is a network card that each<br />
inverter requires for data communication. Among other<br />
things, it supplies power to the entire <strong>Fronius</strong> <strong>DATCOM</strong><br />
system.<br />
The <strong>Fronius</strong> Datalogger is the connection between<br />
inverters and the PC and records all system details.<br />
The <strong>Fronius</strong> Datalogger Web has a USB port for the<br />
connection of an optional WLAN stick. This makes<br />
integration into an existing network structure very<br />
simple.<br />
The <strong>Fronius</strong> Solar.access software enables you to<br />
view and process data as well as monitor your system<br />
directly from your PC.<br />
<strong>Fronius</strong> Solar.access:<br />
Data viewing made easy<br />
<strong>Fronius</strong> Solar.access is intelligent software for<br />
recording, archiving and analyzing system data on<br />
the PC. It is used for the comprehensive analysis and<br />
display of system performance data using clear<br />
diagrams and graphs. You can configure the software<br />
parameters of all inverter system components as<br />
well as <strong>Fronius</strong> <strong>DATCOM</strong> components using <strong>Fronius</strong><br />
Solar.access.<br />
<strong>Fronius</strong> Solar.access is included free with the<br />
Datalogger. The latest version can be downloaded<br />
online at www.fronius-usa.com from the Solar<br />
Electronics / Downloads section.<br />

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

sensors into the <strong>Fronius</strong> <strong>DATCOM</strong> system for measuring<br />
irradiance, ambient temperature, module temperature,<br />
power consumption, etc.<br />
<strong>Fronius</strong> Datalogger & Interface Box<br />
Combining a <strong>Fronius</strong> Datalogger pro and a <strong>Fronius</strong><br />
Interface Card into one housing saves installation time<br />
and costs.<br />
<strong>Fronius</strong> Converter RS232 Box / Card<br />
<strong>Fronius</strong> Converter USB<br />
The <strong>Fronius</strong> converter enables the easy utilization of<br />
third party components for professional PV system<br />
monitoring. The <strong>Fronius</strong> converters transform the<br />
RS422 interface of the <strong>Fronius</strong> <strong>DATCOM</strong> system into<br />
<strong>Fronius</strong> Converter USB<br />
