Hello Kent, Thank you for your feedback. While the SCP is available for basic configuration, the Gateway is the best option to maximize the XW Pro's full features and configuration options. The XW Pro Owner's Manual has been updated with monitoring and configuration information based on the Gateway.
https://solar.schneider-electric.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ML202003_Conext-XW-Pro-NA-Owners-Guide-990-91227A-01.pdf With the Gateway, you and your customer can have full access to monitor and control with great flexibility: * Local connection with no internet required * Via InsightCloud for remote monitoring and support The XW Pro powers Gateway through Xanbus, ensuring it is accessible for configuration even if the AC power has been disconnected.

My complaint was (and is) that despite what the manual says, you can't set up a XW Pro slave unit in a multi-inverter system using the system control panel (SCP); that can only be done using the gateway or the configuration tool. And once a XW Pro is set up to be a slave, the only path back to being a master is with the gateway or the configuration tool, or to reset the unit to factory defaults with the SCP. Technician explained that the 20-year old design of the SCP doesn't have enough memory to allow the 120/240 split phase options. However, it does seem to have enough memory for 120 or 240 single phase and 120/208 three phase, ... The reason this is a thorn in my side is that Schneider wants to market this inverter for off grid use and seems to totally ignore what happens when you have an off grid power system failure. If you have a master inverter failure and need to reconfigure the system, it needs to be something that can be corrected easily - in the middle of the night. No ac power, no computer, no phones, no internet. The only option seems to be to reset a slave unit with the SCP and then reprogram it. No longer as enthusiastic about using Schneider for off grid power.
