Setup System Level Protection Shutdown Features; Initial Setup Of The Power Modules - Xantrex XMP 2600 Programming Manual

Usage Guidelines
Check occupied channels
Power Modules of the XMP 2600 have addresses that assign them to "channels" (or
"slots").
Use the CHNL? query to find out which channels are occupied by Power Modules.
Check installed Power Modules
Once you know what channels are occupied, your next step is to verify that those
channels are assigned the correct Power Modules.
For each occupied channel, use the VMAX?, IMAX?, IMIN? and OPT? queries to learn
the following:
You may also use the SN? query to get the Power Module's serial number, for further
identification.

Setup system level protection shutdown features

The XMP 2600 has many protection features geared at protecting the connected loads.
Some protection features have programmable system wide effect you should consider and
setup.
Reaction to Power Modules events
Use the CESE command to inform the XMP 2600 of the Power Modules whose events
you would like it to respond to.
Using commands like GLBL, GRP and SHUT you control the way the XMP 2600 reacts
to Power Modules faults and warnings.
Handling controller communications drops
The controller communications monitor function of the XMP 2600 give you the
confidence that the loads connected to the power system are protected even when
communication with the controlling computer is halted.
Use the TOGRP, TOSET and TOEN commands to setup this feature, when you intend to
use it.

Initial setup of the Power Modules

Following global setup of the XMP 2600 power system, you are now ready to setup
individual Power Modules.
The process of setting up a Power Module deals with three issues: protection features,
output settings and status reporting.
Note that most programmable features have default values (or states) that are suitable for
most applications, thus simplifying the setup process.
Output voltage rating of the Power Module.
Output current rating of the Power Module.
Minimal allowed value for current limit (or current set) programming of the
Power Module.
Installed options, like: output disconnect relays, polarity relays and type of
disconnect relays.
