kewakl (Customer) asked a question.

Solo undocumented 'feature' ?
Reset comms settings to 'default'

Reset comms to Modbus ASCII 9600 7E1/7E2

 

RunStop switch in Run position

Cycle power (I do not know how long this 'mode' is available after power on)

RunStop to Stop - Wait for Run LED change

RunStop to Run - Wait for Run LED change

RunStop to Stop - Wait for Run LED change

RunStop to Run - Wait for Run LED change

RunStop to Stop - Wait for ERR LED to illuminate

Cycle power

Device will appear twice in Solo Network Scan

(select 9600 baud and ALL for DataBits, Parity, and StopBits, and select ASCII for Format)

Make note of possible formats

From the menu, select Tools -> Write Communication Settings

In the top panel, select the target device settings noted from the Network Scan dialog

In the bottom panel, select your desired settings

Click the [ Set ] button

You may have to wait a few seconds for the device to initialize before you click the [ Set ] button

Select the target device's comms settings in the Communications dialog

Click the [ OK ] button to dismiss the dialog, click the [ Connect ] button in the Device Connection panel on the main solo GUI

 

I accidentally entered this 'mode' and thought that I bricked the module.

I found my way out by querying/setting the module's comms settigns in the SOLO software.

AD, please describe this procedure better and include it in future manual updates.

Also, describe WHICH "Reset to Defaults" in SOLO software actually factory defaults the controller.

There are at least 4 similarly worded buttons in the software (Main GUI, Communications, Network Scan, and Write Communications Settings dialogs)

The Help topic for Communications dialog does describe ITS button's function, the others do not.

Thank you
