Schneider Conext XW
- Thread starter 400bird
- Start date
A cold reboot of the xw inverter has for now, corrected the problem. But it has returned every day for 4 days now.
Battery at nearly 100% now from mppt60 top off, and xw is regulating the Sell so as to properly float batteries. Again its been dragging cells down to 70% and lower all day long.

I sent this off to a S/E engineer.
Is there a way to adjust the calibration of values on the xw6848 pro ?
Pro says battery voltage at night, no current flowing anywhere is: 57.87 v and 57.9 v
mppt60 says 57.1 v
I read on my external voltmeter 57.1 volts
Both my BMS units say its 57.13 and 57.23 v
There must be a correction table or value within the 6848. How do I correct this discrepancy ?

Hi George,
XW Pro DC voltage will read high under certain conditions. This is because the voltage accuracy can be affected depending on whether the unit is charging or inverting.
There is no way to calibrate DC voltage. I recommend using Battery Monitor (or a compatible battery) for an accurate voltage reading.

It's almost like they don't listen and just hear what they want to. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of their tech support calls/emails.

This came up before I think. Maybe its changed by now.
Is there a way to backup and save a devices settings ?
I don't mean the Insight backup. Unless the Insight saves stores ALL the voltage and parameter settings on each device.

-- and then response
Only Config Tool has the ability to save device configuration.
We are going to add this capability to InsightLocal in the future.

So true.
I run into that with my work as well. I have people ask me loaded questions where they lead with the answer they want. And when you try to tell them no, they keep asking in different ways to try and get that answer they want yet again.
I don't want to start a new thread just yet ...
Today -- XW is slowly draining my batteries. mppt60 is pushing 2300w. When I disconnect the grid, I expect to see mppt60 resume battery charging which it does. But mppt60 rapidly drops its output from 2300w to 900w over 3 minutes. Batteries are not topped off, only up to 82%. So why can't I expect mppt60 to keep the 2300w running into batteries ? As soon as sell-to-grid kicks in again, mppt is up to 2400w.

And I find that at times (like right now) the XW limits my charge current and won't let me raise it, stuck at 11 amps. It ignores any higher value. So I try the Standby and then Operating toggle. Still 11 amps. Until I reboot the XW -- then it comes up at the 32 amps.
This is just plain BAD CODE.

I had that happen once. It was either old firmware or the modbus commands I was sending. I can't remember which.
I wouldn't jump to blaming the firmware. You won't share your settings before rushing to blame someone else.
