So you terminate the shield somehow outside of the RJ45 connector?

When I did my cable swap and reconfiguration that fixed it I also was more careful to route the xanbus cables away from the batter/inverter cables - thinking that perhaps induction was the culprit.  As I have an rj45 crimp tool and some shielded CAT5e in the truck I think I'll just make up my own cables in the future after spending way more time than that troubleshooting.

Best of luck!

I tried swapping the cables for the XW and MPPT. After reboot the XW continued to show up on the SCP but the MPPT did not. I didn't have another cable, but this suggests the cable is not the problem. I didn't think to change the order, however.

Hey Jason,

I had a SCP xanbus system once that refused to show a component - The fix was replacing the cheap ethernet wires that schneider provided with better cables and/or changing the order of the components in the series comm string.  not sure which did it as I did both changes at once but I do suspect those white cables.

Best,

Jeff

I am working with a client (not my install) with a XW6048 and MPPT 80 600 with a SCP. The SCP is not showing the MPPT in the setup menu. I am able to access the system settings and XW configuration, but not the MPPT settings. It is connected via Xanbus in this manner:

SCP -> MPPT -> XW

So the MPPT is in the middle and is passing through the XW signal just fine.

The MPPT also has a red error light illuminated, but it is charging the battery (positive current measured via clamp meter).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jason Szumlanski
