I just added a MPPT 100 600 to my existing system and only the SCP will see it, cannot edit on combox:
XW+ (48V)
2x MPPT 80 150
SCP
Combox


I have the latest versions of firmware. When I plugged it in I got an error which was duplicate IDs, which was easily fixed. But when I tried to configure it via the web page it does not show up. Rebooting the SCP and MPPT has not helped. I've reverified the network wiring/ terminations.

There are no active PVs on the new controller yet.

When I plugged in the 100-600 the SCP kept beeping until I changed the ID of the first existing 80-150 to a higher ID. I've tried shifting all in case the new one was occupying an existing one, no luck there.

    I did find a multi key press that activates Advanced mode. But so far it doe snot seem to make a difference either. Though I was able to copy the batt config from an older controller. It looks good on the SCP...

    Hmmm,  it should work but the mppt 100a was never tested with combox as it was out of support when the new controller came out.

      Yes, I do know, thanks!

      I did come to the realization that I will need to get one of the Insight's. 

      Fortunately it is also compatible with my XW+ so now it's all about finding the best price. :)
