<p>The limitations are basic canbus limits. xanbus is very similar. 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?</p>
