Hello Wrenches, We have a situation on a repair job (that I didn't install), where the charge controllers are not showing up on the SCP. There are 3 charge controllers, two 600 V and one 150 volt units. There is a ComBox and and SCP. One Schneider tech recommended that I unplug the SCP and plug

Hello Drake. In the Xanbus network, you have devices with power such as inverters, and other devices without power. You can not connect an SCP directly to an MPPT60, because both SCP and MPPT60 have no power, but if you have an inverter in the network, it should give sufficient power for the dev

William, I will need system specific information to make any comments on your reported communications issues. As far as the recommendations for 6 foot CAT5, that was done 5 to 7 years ago for a specific application, and it is still valid when working with large systems, where you are pushing t
