Configuration
3�2 Conguration-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 connec-
ted with any commercially available network cable.
Procedure
• The commissioning steps must be completed.
• Download and install the Gude System Tool (GBL_Conf.exe).
Note
The program as well as the rmware le can be found under:
https://www.gude.info/en/monitoring-remote-io/remote-io/expert-net-control-2312-1.html
Note
In the manual you will nd the screenshots of GBL_Conf 2.7.7. The latest GBL_Conf is 2.7.11 and has
additionally the port HTTPS in the conguration. (See also GUDE „Expert Net Control 2312“ user ma-
nual)
• 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

11
Configuration
Note
The Solar-Log™ Smart Relay Station has the IP address 192.168.0.2 as 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 functi-
on TCP/IP Setting by DHCP.
• Save the settings on the device by means of 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 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:

13
Configuration
Select the 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 (or 1x 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 Configura-
tion, 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).

14
Configuration
• 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).

Configuration
3�3 TCP/IPconguration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.

4�1 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
5 Firmware-Update
To perform a firmware update, the program GBL_Conf.exe and the latest firmware is needed.
• 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“.
5�1 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.
5�1�1 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“.

18
Firmware-Update
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.
5�1�2 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“.
5�1�3 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).
