SEN0482: how to read ADDRESS REGISTER after failed CHANGE ADDRESS input attempt?

Hello!

I'm succesfully connecting Wind Speed sensor to ESP32 using simple TTL-RS485 converter, without issues.

After that, I tried to change the ADDRESS of the Wind Direction sensor SEN0482, and it stopped to answer.

I'm trying to debug the issue, and I think the easiest way would be to read the ADDRESS REGISTER (0x10 0x00) using the broadcast station number (0x00) to check the register content (because I do not know the actually stored station number) having only Wind Direction sensor connented to the RS485 bus.

Unfortunately, I cannot get any answer.

This is the inquiry frame I'm using (8 bytes):

0x00 0x03 0x10 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x81 0x1B

where:

0x00 0x03 = Broadcast station number  + read function code

0x10 0x00 = ADDRESS REGISTER

0x00 0x01 = Register lenght

0x81 0x1B = CRC-16 according to MODBUS (see https://crccalc.com/)

and I expect to read: 

0x0# 0x03 0x10 0x00 0x00 0x0# CRCHigh CRCLow

where:

0x0# 0x03 = Receiving station + read function code

0x10 0x00 = ADDRESS REGISTER

0x00 0x0# = stored station number

CRCHigh CRCLOw = related CRC bytes

What is wrong with this?

Is there any command to force a “factory reset”?

Here is my code,

thanks for help!
