If the Fronius' have the web module installed you can use ModBus/TCP.

If not you can use an ET340 for each(or one for all).

First of all you have to configure the Symos:

Change the following settings in the Fronius web interface:

  • In the Fronius setup menu, set Data export via Modbus to tcp.
  • In the same menu, set Sunspec Model Type to int + SF
  • In Settings→DNO Editor, make sure dynamic power reduction is set to No limit (this is the default).
  • In Settings→DNO Editor, make sure that in the 'Controlling Priorities' section that 'Controlling via Modbus' is set to be priority 1.

Use the Fronius Zero feed-in active menu item to double check that all above criteria are met. It will show No if the firmware requirement; the Data export; or the Sunspec Model type settings are incorrect.

Do not use a Fronius Smart Meter for limiting export when part of a Victron ESS System. More details about when a Fronius Smart Meter can, and can not be used is explained here.


Then you set the Symo in WLAN-state. After that you start finding the Symo for CCGX. How this works is discribed here:

Hope this helps.
