Why can’t get into EasyIO-30P’s terminal mode? BACnet firmware is using.
If you are running EasyIO-30P with BACnet firmware , most likely the RS-485 COM is
broadcasting BACnet MS/TP messages. This will jammed up the RS-485 port when trying to
connect via RS-485.
You need to disconnect the RS-485 cable at the controller, get into boot loader mode then only
connect the rs-485 cable to the controller.
