The COMM menu is where stacking is set up. Your choices are Twin Mode and Sync.
Note: On earlier units Twin Mode was known as Bully Mode and Sync Mode was known as Follow Me .
Twin Mode: is true paralleling where the inputs and outputs are paralleled. You are allowed only two
KIDS in Twin mode. This is a Master/Slave configuration. The Master Twin tells the second Kid what to
do. Sync Mode is where the outputs are paralleled, but each input has its own PV array. Twin mode
only works when two kids are connected.
Sync Mode: When any one of the KIDs change state, Absorb, Time, Float or Equalize it sends a signal
downstream to the next one to follow and change state. Then the second one sends the same
message downstream and so on until it finally comes back around the communications circle and all
units are in the new state. There is no limit to how many controllers can be connected in Sync mode.
Both Sync and Twin mode are MidNite Solar exclusive methods of applying multiple controllers.
