Check the system as follows before initial commissioning:
-
All components (distances, environment, mounting) are installed correctly.
-
All internal wiring is complete and properly connected.
-
All external supply lines (power supply, communication cable) are properly connected.
-
All connected loads are matched to the system and the necessary settings have been made.
-
All necessary tests of the system were carried out in accordance with the standards.
Commissioning may only be carried out by trained specialist personnel. |
|
This is indicated in the installation and service instructions:
|
7.1.1. Switch on
1. Rack in the EMS box (sub-distribution board, or socket). |
|
4. If commissioning has already been completed, the battery will start and the LED bar should flash after approx. 60 seconds. |
The system is restarted by pressing the button on the front of the EMS box. The restart can take up to three minutes. |
If the system has not yet been configured, the battery goes into error mode or switches off. The inverter only starts after configuration and only then synchronizes to the grid. |
7.1.2. Switch off
Rack out the battery towers (front battery tower). |
7.2. Configuration via commissioning wizard
Öffnen Sie die Homepage der FENECON und klicken Sie oben rechts auf den Login zum FEMS Online-Monitoring "FEMS-Login". Alternativ werden Sie über den nachfolgenden QR-Code oder den Link auf die Seite geleitet.

|
7. Click on the blue plus at the bottom. |
|
9. The first thing you need to do is enter the 16-digit installer key. |
|
13. Once commissioning is complete, the system is ready for operation and you will be taken directly to live monitoring. |
|
8. Capacity expansion of the system
The capacity can also be extended at a later date, there is no time limit.
The full capacity of new battery modules cannot be fully reached as they will adapt to the old modules.
8.1. Extension of the system by one or more battery towers
The capacity of the system can be subsequently expanded by one or more battery towers with the same capacity. Up to five battery towers can be operated in parallel.
After the extension, proceed as follows:
1. Activate the "Capacity expansion" function in online monitoring under Electrical energy storage system. |
|
3. Switching off the entire system. The exact procedure is described in detail in chapter 7.1.2: Switch off. → Fuse switch of the battery to OFF. + → AC fuse of the inverter to OFF. |
|
4. Assembly of the new battery towers as described in Chapter 6.2: [Battery tower assembly] and Chapter 7: Initial commissioning. |
|
6. Run the commissioning wizard again. |
If the exact voltage value of the old and new battery towers has not been matched, the new batteries will not be connected. |

9.1. Connection of a heat pump via "SG-Ready"
The integration of an "SG-Ready" (Smart-Grid-Ready) heat pump is an advanced form of sector coupling of electricity and heat — often also referred to as a "Power-to-Heat" application. The control system ensures that the heat pump slightly overheats the thermal storage unit at times when cheap (solar) electricity is available in order to save electrical energy at times when there is no cheap surplus electricity.
1. The internal relay contacts 5 and 6 can be connected via pins 5/6 and 7/8 on the Harting plug (16-pin — C). |
After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed. |
9.2. Connection of a Heating element with a maximum of 6 kW
The integration of an electric heating element is the simplest and cheapest form of sector coupling of electricity and heat — often also referred to as a "Power-to-Heat" application.
If the capacity of the electrical storage unit is at maximum, self-generated energy is fed into the public grid with low remuneration. In these cases, it often makes sense to use the surplus electricity for water heating (e.g. for hot water buffer tanks, pool heating, etc.). In this way, other energy sources (e.g. wood or oil) can be saved.
1. So that each phase of the heating element can be controlled separately, each phase must be connected individually to a relay. |
Care must be taken to ensure that three different phases are used. If only one phase is used, damage may occur. |
After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed. |
Manual mode is only suitable for temporary operation. For permanent operation, the external relay control must be used. |
9.3. Control of a heating element greater than 6 kW (control via external relay)
The integration of an electric heating element is the simplest and cheapest form of sector coupling of electricity and heat — often also called a "power-to-heat" application.
If the capacity of the electrical storage unit is exhausted, self-generated energy must be fed into the public grid with low remuneration. In these cases, it often makes sense to use the surplus electricity for water heating (e.g. for hot water buffer tanks, pool heating, etc.). In this way, other energy sources (e.g. wood or oil) can be saved. The externally installed relays must suit the set output of the heating element installed.
1. So that each phase of the heating element can be controlled separately, each phase must be connected individually to the internal relay via an additional external relay. |
|
4. As an alternative to L2/L3, L1 can of course also be looped through, or +. 5. Or alternatively control the contactors/relays with 24V. If a different voltage source is used, A2 must not be connected to N. |
|
6. The voltage supply of the heating element must then be connected to the switching contacts of the relays. |
After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed. |
9.4. Control of a CHP unit
The integration of a combined heat and power plant (CHP) into the electrical energy management is an advanced form of sector coupling of electricity and heat.
This enables the application of the CHP unit as an electrical generator that is independent of the time of day and weather conditions. The CHP unit is given a switch-on signal to produce electricity when the storage unit’s charge level is low. This is useful, for example, if the battery capacity is not sufficient to cover electricity consumption at night. This avoids the need of purchasing expensive electricity from the grid.
When the battery is charging, this signal is stopped again to prevent the CHP power from being fed into the grid unnecessarily.
1. The enable signal for starting the CHP can be connected to pins 5/6 via the Harting plug (16-pin — C). |
After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed. |
9.5. Additional AC meter
If other meters have been installed for monitoring other consumers or generators, these must be integrated into the circuit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. +
The communicative integration is shown below using a 3-phase sensor without a current transformer as an example. +
Only meters approved by FENECON can be integrated. +
The first generation meter is always integrated with Modbus ID 6. All others in ascending order. The baud rate must be 9600.
1. Connect the cores to pin 3/4 on the Harting plug (16-pin — A) |
|
"Using SOCOMEC E24 as an example" |
|
"Using the example of KDK 4PU" |
If several meters are to be installed, they can be connected in series for communication purposes. For this purpose, the first meter can be bridged to the second, etc. The Modbus address must be set in ascending order. |
After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed. |
9.6. Activation of the app in the FEMS App Center
After installing the hardware FEMS extension, it still needs to be activated in the App Center. To do this, proceed as follows.
2. Log in with your installer account. |
|
3. Click on the three dashes at the top left. |
|
4. select "Settings" |
|
5. click "FEMS App Center" |
|
6. Click on "Redeem license key" to open a new window. |
|
7. Enter the license key and click "Validate license key". (The license key must be purchased in advance) |
|
8. If the validation was successful, a list of the respective apps that can be installed with the license key redeemed is displayed in a selection. |
|
10. You will then be redirected to the installation wizard of the respective app. |
10. Controlling the inverter externally
There are various ways to override the inverter from external devices.
10.1. § 14a EnWG
The Inverter can be limited to a maximum reference power of 4.2 kW. The digital input of the EMS must be assigned for this.
1. The signal can be connected via the Harting plug (16-pin — A & C) to pins 1 (C) and 8 (A). |
11. FEMS-Online-Monitoring
Das FEMS Online-Monitoring dient der Visualisierung sämtlicher Energieflüsse in Ihrem System. So zeigt der Energiemonitor Live-Daten zum Netzbezug oder -einspeisung, PV-Produktion, Beladung/Entladung des Batteriespeichers und Stromverbrauch. Über weitere Widgets wird der prozentuale Autarkiegrad und Eigenverbrauch dargestellt. Zusätzlich bieten die einzelnen Widgets eine Detailansicht, über die die Leistungswerte auch phasengenau eingesehen werden können.
In addition to the pure information display, Online Monitoring also lists all additionally purchased FEMS extensions, such as those for integrating a heat pump, heating element, e-charging station or combined heat and power plant (CHP). Their functionality can be controlled via the corresponding widget.
Zusätzlich zur Live-Ansicht bietet die Historie die Möglichkeit, selbstgewählte Zeiträume für das Online-Monitoring auszuwählen. Über das Info-Symbol kann der Status des Gesamtsystems als auch der einzelnen Komponenten zu jedem Zeitpunkt überwacht werden.
11.1. Access data
Der Zugang zum FEMS-Online-Monitoring ist nach Endkunden und Installateur getrennt.
11.1.1. Access for the end customer
