Due to network traffic, the maximum number of Conext XW Pro units in a single Xanbus
network should not exceed twelve. The maximum number of Conext MPPT Solar Charge
Controllers in a single Xanbus network should not exceed twelve.
The combined maximum number of Conext XW Pro units and Conext MPPT Solar
Charge Controllers should not exceed twelve.
Xanbus Power Supply
Xanbus-enabled devices are either power-supplying or power-consuming. The Xanbus
network needs at least one device with a power supply sufficient to run the entire
network.
Note: The total network current supplied by the power-sourcing devices must be equal
to or greater than the total current drawn by the power-consuming devices. The power
supply must be capable of providing 15 VDC/200 mA to each device.
For example, in a system with a Conext XW Pro, Conext Gateway, and Conext AGS,
the Conext XW Pro is a power-supplying device capable of providing 800 mA at 15 VDC
while the two other devices each consume a maximum of 200 mA for a total maximum
consumption of 400 mA. In this example, the network is properly configured from a power
perspective because the power source is capable of providing more current than is
needed: 800 mA > 400 mA.
Note: See the specifications for each Xanbus-enabled device to determine how much
power each device consumes or supplies.
Xanbus Cables
Each Xanbus-enabled device is connected by a Category 5 (CAT 5 or CAT 5e) cable, a
standard cable available from the manufacturer or any computer supply store. The cable
consists of eight conductors in four twisted pairs with an RJ45 modular connector wired
to the T568A standard. The minimum cable length should be 6ft. (1.8m).
