[RE-wrenches] Context XW+ Random Factory Defaults

[Jay]

Have you been able to get in touch with Schneider tech support?

I had to jump start them with a Chargeverter. I discovered that the inverter low battery cutoff was 44 volts, which is lower than the battery BMS cut out. I also found the AGS set to manual off, and I believe the voltage triggers were defaults, but I am not certain.

The owner cannot figure out how to access the Insight Cloud, and I could not access the device on the local network with the default password. Therefore, I am working with the SCP only for settings.

I dug in and found that they both had the same modbus address 00 and they were both set to split phase master. Everything else appeared to be factory defaults. Low battery cut out was sent to 44 volts again. The AGS had disappeared from the network on the SCP. The batteries were at 100% because the charge controllers were charging the batteries with solar for the last couple of days with no load present. After power cycling the inverters, the AGS reappeared on the SCP. The settings in the AGS were exactly as I had left them last time.

However, I strongly believe that they were flipping breakers, particularly on the solar charge controllers. It's possible that turning off a controller messed up the Xanbus, but I don't see what that would have to do with settings getting changed.
