System Components
The Conext SW uses Xanbus, a network communications protocol developed to
send Conext SW’s operational settings and status to other Xanbus-enabled
devices. You can configure and monitor the Conext SW and every Xanbus-
enabled device in the system using an optional System Control Panel (SCP).
Another component is the optional Automatic Generator Start (AGS) which allows
operation with a wide range of generators, supported through a dedicated
generator input. Simply, the AGS automatically starts and stops your generator.
Solar charge controllers allow renewable energy collected from the sun to charge
batteries as might be the case in an off-grid application of Conext SW. The
charge controllers form part of the Xanbus network.
See “Xanbus-enabled Products and Other Accessories” on page 2–3 for part
numbers.
Xanbus System
The Xanbus system includes the Conext SW and other Xanbus-enabled devices.
The Conext SW is the device in a Xanbus system that typically provides network
power—500 mA at 12 VDC. All of the Xanbus-enabled devices, such as the
Conext SW, the SCP, and the AGS are able to communicate their settings and
activity to each other.
The Xanbus-enabled designation (see left) means that this product works on a
Xanbus network. Xanbus-enabled products are:
• Simple to operate and routine tasks are automated.
• Controlled by software that eliminates analog signalling errors.
• Less susceptible to interference and line loss.
• Upgradable through new software releases.
