About the XW System Control Panel
Complete
system control
The XW System Control Panel provides configuration and monitoring
capability for an XW Power System. The System Control Panel:
• Monitors activity throughout your power system
• Displays the settings and status of each Xanbus-enabled device
• Enables you to adjust settings for each Xanbus-enabled device.
System
component
The System Control Panel uses Xanbus™, a network communications
protocol developed by Xantrex, to communicate its settings and activity
to other Xanbus-enabled devices.
Xanbus-enabled products are:
• Easy to use. The Xanbus network simplifies operation and automates
routine tasks.
• Reliable. Software control eliminates errors due to analog signaling.
• Accurate. Digital information is less susceptible to interference and
line loss.
System
requirements
The System Control Panel requires a Xanbus power supply to operate.
Network power is carried by the network cables, and can be supplied by
an XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger or an external Xanbus power supply.
As a device that draws network power, the System Control Panel
consumes a maximum of 3 watts.
Operational
Features
Other features of the System Control Panel include:
• Compatibility—connect additional Xanbus-enabled XW System
devices without requiring additional device-specific control panels.
• Internal clock—keeps time for the entire system.
• Audible alarm—if enabled, alerts you when a fault condition arises.
• Low power consumption—automatically turns off the backlight after
a period of inactivity.
• Non-volatile memory—preserves System Control Panel settings if
network power is interrupted or network communication is disrupted.
Important:
The XW System Control Panel is compatible only with XW
System components, including XW Hybrid Inverter/Chargers, XW-MPPT
Charge Controllers, and the XW Automatic Generator Start.
