4. Fronius ECO WLAN (three-phase) 5. Fronius Primo WLAN (single-phase) The CDP stores the nominal power value of the inverter to be controlled in its configuration and periodically sends the inverter the percentage of said power to be generated. Consequently, when the CDP communicates with the Fronius inverter it is constantly sending it a regulation percentage.
Description Terminal The communications card has a final switch bus for communications between CDP and the inverter which is located on the bottom of the antenna WLAN that must be on “ON” position as shown in the Figure 2 Application notes...
Figure 2: Final switch bus position. 2.1.1. INVERTER CONNECTION Figure 3 shows the connection between the CDP and a single inverter. Connect the end bus terminal to the IN and OUT terminals. Figure 3: Connection between a CDP and a single Fronius inverter.
CDP and several inverters. Figure 5 Figure 5: Connection between a CDP and several Fronius inverters. The master / slave selector must be in the Master position (Figure 4). If there are several inverters, the communication cable connecting them must go from the “OUT”...
2.2.- INVERTER COMMUNICATION CONFIGURATION The following describes how to use the display to configure the inverter for ensuring correct communication with the CDP. The AC side of the inverter must be connected to the mains before it can turn on.
2.2.2 PROTOCOL TYPE CONFIGURATION For correct communication between the CDP and the inverter, the inverter must be set up with the SOLAR NET protocol. Go to the following path to change the protocol of the inverter: Config DATCOM Protocol type ...
3.- FRONIUS IG PLUS INVERTER WITH MODBUS CARD The CDP and the inverter communicate via an RS-422 bus. This RS-422 bus can connect up to 100 inverters, although the number of inverters in the vast majority of domestic installations ranges from 1 to 3.
3.1.2. CONNECTION OF SEVERAL INVERTERS Figure 7 shows the connection between the CDP and several inverters. Figure 8: Connection between a CDP and several Fronius IG Plus inverters. If there are several inverters, the communication cable connecting them must go from the “IN”...
3.2.- INVERTER COMMUNICATION CONFIGURATION Three parameters need to be changed in this type of inverter in order to obtain correct communication between the CDP and the inverter. Table 6: Configuration parameters for communication with the CDP. Value for communication Description...
The CDP has a configuration web site where all the parameters of the connected inverter have to be entered. To do so, enter "/setup" at the end of the navigation bar where the CDP is monitoring so that the following, for example, appears in the navigation bar: “10.0.110.212/setup”...

The most important inverter parameters that have to be configured in the CDP are (Table 7): Table 7: Parameters to be configured in the CDP. Parameter Description Inverter model, in this case selecting: Fronius Inverter type Inverter power Total power to be controlled by the CDP.
The flashing rate is one flash per second (if there is one inverter) and 1/n if there are several inverters (where "n" is the number of inverters connected). If the COM1 LED is off, it means the CDP is not communicating with the inverter. In this case check the communication cables and the inverter communication configuration.
Let us suppose a 3000W inverter generating 1400W. This value can be displayed on the inverter. If we now program the CDP indicating that the inverter power is 6000W, the CDP will send the inverter a new setpoint to change its MPPT and the inverter will reduce the photovoltaic generation by 50% and generate 700W.
CIRCUTOR accepts no liability due to the possible damage to the unit or • other parts of the installation, nor will it cover any possible sanctions de- rived from a possible failure, improper installation or "improper usage"...
