(Solved) Initialization code for a rintelligent ECT60 fails when run on an ECR60

Did you check product code vs pid?
I just downloaded the ERC60V202.xml esi file, and there is says product code x0A880001,

I was in the process teaching myself Geany line commands that report register contents. The plan was to start poking at them, hoping to have it tell me what the problem was. While I would like to say that I'd find the above eventually, I might also have given up in frustration and ordered the ECT version.

Is there a way to mark this thread as solved?

Thank you.

Thanks, one of the most annoying things on forums are threads about some problem you yourself are having, and either they just end without resolution, or perhaps worse, end with "it's been figured out, thanks." Ugh... HOW?
