<p><br />Jason, I am doing this from memory. It could be it is 3 devices. Ask Sharon or Schneider please. </p>

<p>An XW+ is more than one device as I wrote earlier today. Maybe it did not get out? The master combox is driving the 2 slaves. How is firmware revs on all of this. It does work. You should ask Sharon from Schneider on Gateway as it is new and I am not sure of this app. Good Luck!</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm trying to decipher why an existing system installed by others has three Comboxes. There are 4 XW+, 9 MPPT80, and an AGS. That sounds like 18 Xanbus devices, so I can't figure out why they used two slaves (one for XWs and AGS and the other for MPPT) and a third combox as master. The master has never aggregated data properly.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm thinking of scrapping everything and just using a single Conext Gateway.</div>

<p>Hi Jason,</p>
<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>
