Xanbus System
Xanbus is a network communications protocol, developed by Xantrex. In a
Xanbus® system, the MS2000 is the device that typically provides network
power—800 mA at 15 volts DC. All of the Xanbus-enabled devices, such as the
MS2000, the System Control Panel (SCP), and the Automatic Generator Start
(AGS) are able to communicate their settings and activity to each other. See
Figure 1-1.
