No. Function
(1) Solar Web connection LED
- lights up green: when there is an existing connection to ‘Fronius Solar.web’
- lights up red: when there is no connection to ‘Fronius Solar.web’ but one is
required
- does not light up: when no connection to ‘Fronius Solar.web’ is required
(2) Supply LED
- lights up green: when there is sufficient power coming from ‘Fronius Solar Net’ -
‘Fronius Datalogger Web’ is operational
- does not light up: when there is no power or not enough power coming from
‘Fronius Solar Net’ - an external power source for ‘Fronius Datalogger Web’ is
required
(3) Relay connection
Equipped as a NCC (normally closed contact) and NOC (normally open contact),
switches when there is an error
(4) Connection LED
- lights up green: when there is an active connection within ‘Fronius Solar Net’
- lights up red: when there is an interrupted connection within ‘Fronius Solar Net’
(5) LED
not assigned
(6) Alarm switch
for switching the alarm function on/off
Alarm off: Alarm function, relay and buzzer deactivated

(7) P address switch
used to switch from an assigned P address to a default P address ‘169.254.0.180’
Assigned P: ‘Fronius Datalogger Web’ operates using an assigned P address
(factory setting 192.168.1.180). The P address can be set at the
‘Fronius Datalogger Web’ website
169.254.0.180: ‘Fronius Datalogger Web’ operates using a fixed P address
169.254.0.180
The fixed P address is used for a direct connection to a PC
without having to pre-configure the PC
(8) LAN connection
Ethernet interface colored in blue for connecting an Ethernet cable
(9) External power supply connection
for connecting an external power source when the power within ‘Fronius Solar Net’
is insufficient (e.g. when too many DATCOM components are installed in ‘Fronius
Solar Net’).
mportant! The external power supply unit for the Fronius Datalogger Web must
have a secure disconnect between components supplying mains voltage (SELV or
Class 2 for USA / Canada). The output of the power supply unit may not exceed a
max. of 15 VA / 1.25 A.
f the power supply is sufficient, the Supply LED lights up green (2).
(10) Solar Net N connection
‘Fronius Solar Net’ input colored red for connecting other DATCOM component (e.g.
inverters, sensor cards, etc.)
(11) Solar Net OUT connection
‘Fronius Solar Net’ output colored red for connecting other DATCOM component
(e.g. inverters, sensor cards, etc.)
