Configuration

Network design
The Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station must be in the same local area network as the Solar-Log™.

Configuration – IP Address of Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station
The Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station is equipped with a standard Ethernet RJ45 network socket that can be connected with any commercially available network cable.

Procedure

• The commissioning steps must be completed.
• Download and install the Gude System Tool (GBL_Conf.exe).

Note

• In the manual you can find the screenshots of the GBL_Conf.exe 2.7.7.

• The current program version and the firmware file can be found on the Gude homepage. Support Monitoring – GUDE Systems (gude-systems.com)

• Start up the system tool.

• The software automatically searches for the Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Stations within the local area network.

• The devices found are listed in the software.

• Activate the Boot Loader mode of the Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station:
  Hold both buttons pressed down for 3 seconds. At first „blr“ is displayed. After 3 seconds the display changes to „bld“. Further information about the Boot Loader Mode can be found in Chapter 5.1.

• Go back to the system tool GBL_Conf

  • Note
    The Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station has the IP address 192.168.0.2 as the factory setting.

• In the Search menu, select the item Boot Loader Mode Devices only. In this mode, the IP address and netmask (subnet Mask) fields can be edited.

• Set the IP address and the netmask (subnet mask) accordingly to the used network and deactivate the function TCP/IP Setting by DHCP.

• Save the settings on the device using the menu item Program Device using the Save Config function.

• The network settings of the Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station have been adjusted.

• Die Netzwerkeisntellungen der Solar-Log™ Smart Relais Station wurden angepasst.

• Exit the Boot Loader mode. Hold both buttons of the Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station down for 3 seconds. „bld“ disappears from the display.
  In the GBL_Conf system tool select the item All Devices in the Search menu. The set IP address and netmask (sub-net mask) are displayed under Network Configuration. The fields are gray-shaded and cannot be changed here.

• The browser is opened by means of a double click on the blue colored line and the Start-screen of the So-lar-Log™ Smart Relay Station is displayed.

• The IP configuration of the Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station has been successfully concluded.

• Go to the web menu of the Solar-Log™.

• Navigate to the item Configuration | Devices | Definition | Interfaces.

• The following menu is displayed:

Select the Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station with the plus symbol. The following settings are required here (see the figure further below):

Device class:

• Switch
  Manufacturer:

• Solar-Log
  Type:

• Smart Relay Station 3x 3.5kW Interface:

• Ethernet
  Number of devices:

• 1 in the example

• Confirm the settings with OK. Then start the device detection from the Configuration | Devices | Detection menu.

• To enter the IP assigned above, go to the Configuration | Devices | Configuration menu under Device Configuration, select the device, and enter the IP address in the corresponding box.

• Adjust the remaining configuration settings in this section (see the example figure further below).

• The last step is configuring the Smart Energy Logics. Refer to the Solar-Log ™ Smart Energy Manual for more information. It is available from our website (https://www.solar-log.com/manuals/manuals/en_GB/SolarLog_Manual_Smart_Energy_EN.pdf).

TCP/IP configuration by DHCP
After switching on the device is scanning on the Ethernet for a DHCP server and requests an unused IP address. Check the IP address that has been assigned and adjust if necessary, that the same IP address is used at each restart. To turn off DHCP use the software GBL_Conf.exe or use the configuration via the web interface. To check the network settings with GBL_Conf.exe, start the program and choose „All Devices“ in the „Search“ menu. From the list select the appropriate device. The lower part of the left half of the window now shows the current network settings of the device. If the IP address is displayed with the default settings (192.168.0.2), either no DHCP server is present on the network, or there could be no free IP address assigned to it.

Operating

Operating the device directly
The current status of the output is indicated by the color of the LED. Red indicates that the output is off, green shows that the output is on. On the device are the buttons „select“ and „ok“. If you press „select“, the LED will blink for the first output, ie the output is selected. Press „select“ again to select the next output. Hold down the button „ok“ for two seconds, then the status of the selected output is toggled.

Firmware-Update

To perform a firmware update, the program GBL_Conf.exe and the latest firmware is needed.

Note
The current program version and the firmware file can be found on the Gude homepage. Support Monitoring – GUDE Systems (gude-systems.com).

• Enable the bootloader mode (see Chapter Bootloader Mode).
• Start GBL_Conf.exe.
• Select the device for which a firmware update is to be performed.
• Click „Program Device“ and then select there „Firmware Update“.
• Specify the firmware file that should be uploaded.

Upon completion of the update process, please start the new firmware of the device. You can do this by simply leaving the bootloader mode. A firmware update, unlike other functions, is not sent as a network broadcast. Therefore, the device must have a valid IP address and a valid netmask before the firmware update. If necessary, please correct the entries in GBL_ Conf.exe in bootloader mode and save them with „Save Config“. If after a firmware update, the web page is not displayed correctly anymore, this may be related to the interaction of Javascript with an outdated browser cache. Not always helps a Ctrl-F5, it is recommended that you manually delete the cache in the browser options. Alternatively, you can test start the browser in „private mode“.

Bootloader Mode
Certain actions can, for safety reasons, only be carried out if the device is in bootloader mode. The following ope-rations are possible only in Bootloader Mode:

• Firmware Update.
• Configuration with GBL_Conf.exe.
• Factory Reset.

Activation of the Bootloader Mode
Via push button

• Hold both buttons for 3 seconds (only if the device has 2 buttons). or
• Remove the power supply.
• Hold down the button (or the „Select“ button for devices with 2 buttons). If the push button is recessed, use a pin or paper clip.
• Connect the operating voltage.

By Software: (only if „Enable FW to BL“ was previously activated in GBL_Conf.exe)

• Start GBL_Conf.exe.
• Do a network search with the „Search“ menu action.
• Activate in menu „Program Device“ the item „Enter Bootloader“.

Whether the device is in bootloader mode, is indicated by the flashing of the status LED, or it is shown in GBL_ Conf.exe, after a renewed device search, with the appendix „BOOT-LDR“ after the device name. In bootloader mode the program GBL_Conf.exe can disable the password and the IP ACL, perform a firmware update, and resto-re the factory settings.

Note
Activation of the bootloader mode and an abandonment of the bootloader does not change the state of the power or output ports as long as the supply voltage is maintained.

Abandonment of the Bootloader Mode

Via push button

• Hold both buttons for 3 seconds (only if the device has 2 buttons). or
• Remove and connect the power supply without operating a button.

By Software

• Start GBL_Conf.exe.
• Do a network search with the „Search“ menu action.
• In menu „Program Device“ activate the item „Enter Firmware“.

Factory Reset
If the device is in bootloader mode, it can always be put back to its factory default. All TCP / IP settings are reset in this operation.

Via push button

• Activate the Bootloader Mode of the device.
• Hold down the button (or the „Select“ button for devices with 2 buttons) for 6 seconds. If the push button is recessed, use a pin or paper clip.
• The status LED will blink in a fast rhythm, please wait until the LED blinks slowly (about 5 seconds).

By Software

• Activate the Bootloader Mode of the device.
• Start GBL_Conf.exe.
• In menu „Program Device“ activate the item „Reset to Fab Settings“.
• The status LED will blink in a fast rhythm, please wait until the LED blinks slowly (about 5 seconds).
