Integration with the Fronius inverter

Attention! The example uses the second generation Gate Modbus module with FW 1.1.0-2034C!

The purpose of this article is to present how to integrate the Fronius Symo 8.2-3-M inverter with the Grenton Smart Home system via the Modbus RTU communication protocol.

 

The example will read data regarding, among others:

  • generated instantaneous power
  • total energy generated during the day, year and since the beginning of the installation's operation.

To implement the example below we need:

  • CLU Z-Wave (named CLU)
  • Gate Modbus (named Gate_Modbus)
  • Inverter Fronius

 

Configuration of Modbus virtual objects

1. We create Modbus virtual objects on the Gate Modbus module:

 

2. We configure the values of embedded features of individual objects as follows:

* total alternating current:

Attention! To read the register values, subtract the offset of 1 from the selected address.

 

* phase A alternating current:

 

* phase-to-phase voltage A-B:

 

* phase voltage A-N:

 

* momentary power:

 

* frequency:

 

3. We create ModbusValue virtual objects on the Gate Modbus module:

 

4. We configure the values of embedded features of individual objects as follows:

*Day total energy

 

*Year total energy
