The Xanbus System

Network Components

A Xanbus network consists of the following components:

•Xanbus-enabled devices—these include the XW System Control Panel, the XW Inverter/Charger, XW Automatic Generator Start, and XW Charge Controller. The maximum number of Xanbus devices connected to a single Xanbus network should not exceed eight devices.

•Xanbus power supply—the network must have at least one device with a power supply to run the network. The total network current supplied by all the power-sourcing devices must be greater than or equal to the total current drawn by the power consuming devices. The power supply must be capable of providing 15 Vdc/200 mA to each device. The XW Inverter/Charger can provide sufficient network power.

For example, in a system with an inverter/charger, a XW System Control Panel and an Automatic Generator Start, the inverter/charger is a power-sourcing 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.

Important: See the specifications for each Xanbus 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 Xantrex 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.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

Do not use crossover cable.

Table 3-1 contains the arrangements of wire colors to pin numbers for the T568A standard.
