Instructions for connecting
AC•THOR® or AC ELWA® -E
to Fronius Smart Meter or Fronius Gen24
Default settings on AC•THOR or AC ELWA-E
Before commissioning, it is essential that you read the assembly instructions
that accompany the device, as well as the operating instructions available on
line.
Find the AC•THOR operation manual here.
Find the AC ELWA-E operation manual here.
Communication of AC•THOR or AC ELWA-E with Fronius
AC•THOR or AC ELWA-E are connected to Fronius in the network via a router.
Within this network, the device receives information from Fronius about how
much photovoltaic surplus is available.
Do not connect the unit directly to the inverter or battery system!
When controlled by an inverter, a feed-in meter is required in the
system. The query of the inverter otherwise provides no data.
Settings on AC•THOR or AC ELWA-E
The control settings of the AC ELWA-E are factory set to “Auto Detect” mode.
The AC ELWA-E should detect the signal of the Fronius Smart Meter
automatically, otherwise the control setting “Fronius Auto” can be set in the
web interface of the device under “Setup”. No other settings need to be made.
Alternatively, “Fronius Manual” can be selected. The IP address of the Fronius
Smart Meter can be specified statically. This is also necessary if several
signal sources are present in the network. If, in addition to other inverters,
a hybrid inverter is also installed, this must be specified as the signal
source.
If the Fronius Gen24 is used as the signal source instead of the Fronius Smart
Meter, then “Fronius Gen24 Manual” is also available for selection.
With the “Fronius Manual” or “Fronius Gen24 Manual” setting, the IP address of
the signal source must not change during operation (e.g. through a DHCP
router), otherwise the AC•THOR or AC ELWA-E loses the control signal!
The AC•THOR has no “Auto Detect” mode. The signal source is selected on the
display during commissioning or can be set on the web interface. For “Fronius
Manual” or “Fronius Gen24 Manual” the IP address of the signal source must
then be statically entered on the display under “Ctrl IP”.

Settings on Fronius Gen24
- Activate „Slave as Modbus TCP“
- Make a note of the Modbus Port (for my-PV, 502 is preset as the Device port)
- Make a note of the Meter Address (for my-PV, 241 is preset as the Device ID)
- The energy meter must be configured as a feed-in meter. Not as a consumption meter!
In the web setup, the parameters “Device ID” and “Device Port” can also be set.
Do not change the “Power timeout”.
If there is a battery storage unit in the system and it is to be charged with
priority, then the “Control target ” should be set to -150 W. Otherwise, we
recommend -50 W.
Combination with battery storage at zero feed-in
When commissioning a hybrid system with battery storage in conjunction with zero feed into the public grid, special settings are required. Please contact my-PV’s technical support for this purpose. We will be happy to help you!
