Xanbus Network Installation

Xanbus-enabled Devices

The Xanbus™-enabled designation means that the product works on a Xanbus network. Xanbus-enabled products are:

•Easy to use. The Xanbus network simplifies operation and automates routine tasks.

•Reliable. Software control eliminates errors due to analog signalling.

•Accurate. Digital information is less susceptible to interference and line loss.

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.

Network	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).
