It is possible to install various sensors into the Fronius DATCOM system. These permit an in-depth look into the way the PV system works and make it possible to draw informed conclusions about the overall performance. As usual, this option is available either as a plug-in card or as box. Plug-in cards are recommended for a maximum distance of 20 - 30 m between the inverter and sensors. Larger distances can be bridged using the box.
The following sensors can be connected to the Sensor Box (Card):
- Irradiance
- Ambient temperature
- Module temperature
- Wind speed
Each Sensor Box (Card) allows connection of up to six sensors:
- Two temperature channels
- One irradiance channel
- Two digital inputs
- One standard 20 mA current interface
