The Xanbus System

What is a network?

A network is a collection of devices that perform individual functions, but also

 

communicate and interact with the other devices. The network capability of the XW

 

Power System provides a robust, integrated product solution that simplifies and automates

 

the installation, configuration, control, monitoring, and integration of devices that deliver

 

and distribute AC or DC power.

Network

Each device is integrated into the network using cables, network connectors, and

components

terminators. An example of a network-managed power system is shown in Figure 3-1.

The network can be installed in one of two configurations: as a multi-drop backbone (see

configurations

Figure 3-5) or as a daisy chain (see Figure 3-6).
