Xantrex Technology XMP 2600 - Manual (Page 10)

Terminology
The following explains the jargon unique to the XMP 2600 as used in this
programming manual:
Slot..................................a physical location within the XMP’s mainframe
where power modules are installed. Each power
module occupies 1, 2 or 3 slots depending on its
voltage and current ratings.
Channel ...........................a logical location on the internal communications
link (connecting power modules to the XMP’s
main controller). Each location is identified by
an address in the range 1 to 16.
Module’s address ............the number of the channel the power module is
associated with. The power module address is
used to identify the power module in
programmed commands and other operations.
net ...................................a communications link connecting power
modules to the XMP’s main controller. The net
comes in two flavors: internal net – running
inside the mainframe and external net –
interconnecting mainframes.
