Jason, I am doing this from memory. It could be it is 3 devices. Ask Sharon or Schneider please. Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail offgridso...@sti.net [2] text 209 813 0060

I don't understand why they needed three Comboxes to accomplish this. On Fri, Nov 1, 2019, 7:49 PM Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar wrote: An XW+ is more than one device as I wrote earlier today. Maybe it did not get out? The master combox is driving the 2 slaves. How is firmware revs on all of this. It does work. You should ask Sharon from Schneider on Gateway as it is new and I am not sure of this app. Good Luck!

There are 4 XW+, 9 MPPT80, and an AGS. That sounds like 18 Xanbus devices, so I can't figure out why they used two slaves (one for XWs and AGS and the other for MPPT) and a third combox as master. The master has never aggregated data properly. I'm thinking of scrapping everything and just using a single Conext Gateway.

In very large clusters, in an XW system comboxes are master slaved to get more devices. Xanbus devices are also not just one type. In other words an XW+ is 2 devices and a mppt is one device. Also the overall length of the wiring is critical as in canbus. Building a large system? Time to read the tech notes on the Schneider website. What are you trying to design please?
