USB Stick as a
Data Logger
A USB stick connected to the USB A socket can act as a data logger for an inverter.
Logging data saved to the USB stick can at any time
- be imported into the Fronius Solar.access software via the included FLD file
- be viewed directly in third-party applications (e.g., Microsoft® Excel) via the included
CSV file.
Older versions (up to Excel 2007) have a row limit of 65536.
Suitable USB
Sticks
Due to the number of USB sticks on the market, we cannot guarantee that every USB stick
will be recognized by the inverter.
Fronius recommends using only certified, industrial USB sticks (look for the USB-IF logo).
The inverter supports USB sticks using the following file systems:
- FAT12
- FAT16
- FAT32
Fronius recommends that the USB stick only be used for recording logging data or for up-
dating the inverter software. USB sticks should not contain any other data.

USB symbol on the inverter display, e.g., in the "NOW" display mode:
When the inverter recognizes a USB stick,
the USB symbol will appear at the top right
of the display.
When inserting the USB stick, make sure
that the USB symbol is displayed (it may
also be flashing).
