Feed-in limiting with Fronius not working

I have Multiplus II 5000W in ESS, coupled with two Fronius inverters, one on the AC in and one on the AC out (they are connected to one Datamanager). Yesterday, I have noticed that limiting grid feed in is not working. Everything is set correctly in Fronius settings (DNO editor, MODBUS). I can’t say for sure when it stopped working, because there was no excess production during the winter months. Everything worked well last year. The second inverter was added in November with solar panels to the south in order to boost the output during winter months.

The changes, updates made in the meantime are:

I connected one inverter to the AC in few days ago. Both inverters were on the AC out, but with the increasing solar irradiation, the power started exceeding 5000W so I put one to the input.

Fronius online support updated (in fact downgraded) my firmware from fro36120 to fro32071. This was done to solve the problem with light flickering.

Has anybody idea why limiting feed-in is not working?

MODBUS settings

In the meantime, “Feed-in limiting active” switched to NO.

Was it also ‘moved’ in its position in the GX? One assigned to ac in and the other assignment is ac out. Correct and corresponding to the units in each physical place?

Yes it is. I have checked everything. If it wasn’t, cerbo would think that the inverter on AC in is load.

You might need to find this setting or a similar one. They appear differently in each firmware.

Summary

What firmware are you running on the victron parts?

I have been scratching my head wondering why your one screenshot looked odd. So i have worked it out.

Your system needs a grid meter if you have ac pv on the input.

Also. You should not have both fronius on the output of your inverter it doesn’t conform the factor 1:1 rule.

Thank you, I have moved Fronius to the input because of 1:1 factor. It looks like I will have to install the meter, or connect both inverters to the output and lower the power so the sum would be 5kW.
