System Components; Xanbus System - Xantrex Freedom SW 230V 815-3524-02 Owner's Manual

System Components

The Freedom SW 230V uses Xanbus, a network communications
protocol developed to communicate the Freedom SW 230V's
settings and activity to other Xanbus-enabled devices.
NOTE: Xanbus is incompatible with other network communication
protocols such as TCP/IP found in many consumer electronic and
computer equipment.
You can configure and monitor the Freedom SW 230V and every
Xanbus-enabled device in the system using an optional Xanbus
System Control Panel (SCP).
Another component is the optional Xanbus Automatic Generator
Start (AGS) which allows operation with a wide range of
generators, supported through a dedicated generator input. Simply,
the AGS automatically starts and stops your generator.
See "Xanbus-enabled Products and Accessories" on page 7 for part

12 volts DC. All of the Xanbus-enabled devices, such as the
Freedom SW 230V, the SCP, and the AGS are able to communicate
their settings and activity to each other. See Figure 2.
