>From what I could tell, Solectria/Azure tended to be somewhat proprietary. The Brusa inveters they sold in the early- to mid-1990s were pretty well documented, but more through Brusa than Solectria. Again, those were my impressions; others may have had different experiences.
I got the distinct impression that with the UMOC and DMOC range, Solectria and Azure intentionally further limited what their users could learn and do. IIRC they even passworded the inverters' computer interface, which wasn't done on the Brusa inverters. If you wanted your drive reconfigured, their answer was usually "ship it to us and we'll do it for you." For a fee, of course. But they sure did make nice AC drives. I see that Soliectria's (and I think Azure's) former marketing director, Karl E Thidemann, is on Linked In. It's an extremely long shot, but I wonder if he might be able to hook you up with one of their former engineers or support techs. If you're a Linkie (I'm not), you might try getting in touch with him. https://www.linkedin.com/in/karl-thidemann-a971b853 Also, Lee Hart may have current contact into for James Worden. Whether Worden would be able or willing to help, I don't know. Other than that you might scout around for a possible hacker (in the older positive sense) community, something like the one that grew up round the old Dolphin drives used in US Electricar EVs. I don't know whether enough of the UMOC/DMOC units ever fell into hobbyist hands for that to happen. Maybe you could try a post on the solectria_ev Yahoo group, if you haven't already. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/solectria_ev Good luck!
