Communications Wiring for Multiple Inverters
975-0253-01-01
3–11
For example, in a two-inverter system, if inverter #1 is producing 1500 W and
inverter #2 is producing 2000 W, both inverters display a total system power of
3500 W. The cumulative energy produced by both inverters that day is also
displayed.
You can still view information for an individual inverter in a system. See “To view
unit-specific screens in a multiple unit system:” on page 5–6.
Without communications wiring, each inverter in a system displays information
only for the unit and its associated PV array.
Xanbus Network Technology
GT Inverters are Xanbus-enabled devices. They use Xanbus Network
Technology™ (a communications protocol developed by Xantrex) to
communicate with other GT Inverters. Each GT Inverter is connected by an CAT5
cable, as shown in Figure 3-8.

Network Layout (Communication Ports Cover Not Installed)
CAUTION: Equipment damage
Connect only Xanbus-enabled devices.
Although the cabling and connectors used in this network system are the same as Ethernet
connectors,
this network is not an Ethernet system
. Equipment damage may result from
attempting to connect Xanbus to different systems.
