Is someone here willing to share Thing & Items File for Fronius Gen24 Inverter?
I know there is an API available for Fronius, but I want to write few configuration settings via Modbus e.g. Minimum SoC from storage or the option Charge from Grid.
Regards!
isn’t fronius sunspec ? start with https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/modbus.sunspec/#sunspec
then whatever you want to write to just give it a try yourself and post here what did not work or worked and surely someone will help.
so start browsing the relevant pdf for your inverter
https://www.fronius.com/en/solar-energy/installers-partners/technical-data/all-products/system-monitoring/open-interfaces/modbus-tcp
With Sunspec I can read e.g. the Inverter Status
modbus.things
Bridge modbus:tcp:bridge "Fronius Inverter Bridge" [ host="10.76.0.169", port=502, id=1, enableDiscovery=false ]
Thing modbus:inverter-three-phase:bridge:fronius "Fronius Gen24" (modbus:tcp:bridge) [ address=40069, length=112, refresh=15 ]
modbus.items
Number:Energy Fronius_Energy "AC Lifetime Energy" {channel=" modbus:inverter-three-phase:bridge:fronius:acGeneral#ac-lifetime-energy"}
String Fronius_Modbus_Status "Fronius Modbus Status" {channel=" modbus:inverter-three-phase:bridge:fronius:deviceInformation#status"}
Number:Frequency Fronius_ac_frequency "AC Frequency" {channel=" modbus:inverter-three-phase:bridge:fronius:acGeneral#ac-frequency"}
Number Fronius_Vendor_Status "Fronius Vendor Status" {channel=" modbus:inverter-three-phase:bridge:fronius:deviceInformation#status-vendor"}
For the Vendor Status I get at the moment the value 2
In a use case I want to try later, writing values to modbus, which is not supported via Sunspec, I have to read/write with “native” modbus.
So I had a look in the Modbus Info from Fronius to read the Operating State and some other registers.
With a little bit try & error I got following working
Bridge modbus:tcp:inverter1 "Fronius Inverter Bridge" [ host="10.76.0.169", port=502, id=1, connectMaxTries=3] {
Bridge poller DevType "Fronius Inverter 1 Poller Device Type" [ start=40108, length=1, refresh=60000, type="holding" ] {

Thing data DC1_Voltage "Fronius Inverter DC Voltage String 1" [ readStart="40273", readValueType="uint16", readTransform="JS(smalimit1000.js)" ]
}
}

Number:ElectricPotential Fronius_DCVolt1_Modbus "Voltage Input 1 [%.2f V]" {channel="modbus:data:inverter1:DC1_Data:DC1_Voltage:number"}
But this is only reading. Does someone have examples for writing?
well what registers are you trying to write and show what the manual demands for those registers because the ones you show are read only.
The two registers I would like to write are
and
Can you help me how .things and .items should be?
Depending on solar prognosis for the next day, I will change Minimum reserve. Good prognosis next day, then I will set low minimum reserve for the night. Discharge storage in the night, recharge during the day and I will still have black out reserve.
Bad prognosis for the next day, I will set higher minimum reserve, so that there is more left for blackout.
If storage is already low, and there is bad prognosis for the next day, I will charge from grid to get some energy in the storage.

Thank you very much for your help.
As soon as I receive my storage, I will try!!!
Hi Markus,
have you already received your storage?
If yes have you managed to change for example the “charging from grid” status?
I am at the point that I can readout the data but I am not able to change the register over modbus.

Hi,
yes it is working for me.

Values for StorCtl_Mod, OutWRte, InWRte are described in the Fronius Modbus Documentation
Thank you.
I will try this in the evening, I think I forgot the Adress-1.

It works fine now, thanks for your support.

Hello friends.
Is in the line a wrong Modbus Register?
Thing data ChargeGridReg “Charge from Grid” [ readStart=“40360”, readValueType=“int16”, writeStart=“40350”, writeValueType=“int16”, writeType=“holding”]
