Cascading Parameters and Copy Configuration Features
Using Cascading Parameters
Xanbus-enabled devices are typically configured one at a time. However, because
devices often have common settings, cascading parameters can simplify and speed
up system configuration. When a parameter is “cascaded,” a newly configured device
setting on one device is applied to all devices of the same device type on a common
AC or DC connection.
Table 3-1 shows which device settings are able to be cascaded. Once cascading
parameters are enabled, any change to a device setting in listed in Table 3-1 will be
automatically applied to all devices of the same type.
For example, if cascading parameters are enabled and a Battery Size (Ah) parameter is
changed on the XW inverter setup menu, the same battery size setting is applied to
other XW inverters.
To enable or disable cascading parameters:
1. Put the device on standby mode. See “To set a device in Standby mode:” on
page 3–31.
2. Click to access the individual devices menu.
3. Click the device you want to configure.
4. Click in the left side menu.
You will see a list of Device Settings for that type of device.
Important: Device settings for each
Xanbus device vary. The one shown
here is for the XW inverter. Be sure
to consult the Owner’s Guide of the
device before trying to change the
settings via the Conext ComBox.
Also, when configuring the network-
managed power system with
cascading parameters enabled, you
should verify that the configurations
have been cascaded correctly to
other devices. Communication
errors may cause parameters to
revert to their original values or
generate a warning message.
