The Public Display is used to visualize and present output data and measured values for

a photovoltaic system. This large-scale display allows you to monitor the output data,
while at the same time providing a professional presentation of the values for a large
audience. The output data of the Fronius IG can be displayed on up to 10 Public Dis-
plays at the same time.
The Public Display is attached to the photovoltac system via LocalNet. The Public
Display Card required for this purpose is integrated into the Public Display. Two RS-485
ports are provided to attach to the system. The DatCom cable also supplies the required
power, thus removing the need for a separate power source for the Public Display.
LocalNet is the basic communication path between the Public Display and Fronius IG

inverter. LocalNet is a data network that allows data to be exchanged between Fronius
IG inverters and any DatCom components. The LocalNet data network is a bus system
with a ring topology. A single wire is required to allow the inidividual components to
communicate. This reduces the wiring overhead to a minimum.
