HI William,
You should have no problems with connecting the MX/FM to the mate
which you can then use the RS232.

Friends:
Coincidentally, I have several clients that need new charge
controllers and remote monitors but do not need new inverters. I
was wondering if I could buy a modern MPPT charge controller from
Xantrex or Outback and connect it directly through a CAT5 cable to
an XW SCP or a Mate, respectively and find that they could
communicate.
I called Xantrex and they informed me the XWMPPT60 does not provide
power for the SCP but an outboard power supply of the correct value
would make this work.
Outback claims the MX60 connected directly to the Mate and does not
need a separate power supply.
Remember, I am trying to do this without an inverter or a hub. Has
anyone tried this?
Thanks in advance,
William Miller
PS: I have an MX60 and a Mate. I'll be trying this myself in the
next day or two with these items, if anyone is curious.
