Going away 4:00 am tomorrow for 2 weeks and of course the Neptune system goes haywire. Have a base unit, 2 EB832 Energy bars, and a Core 20 pump with controller.
Trouble started after cleaning and then plugging a skimmer back into the energy bar. Both Energy Bars, the Base unit and the Core pump controller had flashing orange lights. I think this started when I tried to turn the skimmer back on. After much jiggling of plugs, unplugging and reattaching the 120 V power and resetting the Base Unit I got back to steady orange lights. The skimmer outlet won't stay on and the Cor pump has an error message saying it is "Missing". I plugged the skimmer into another outlet and the Core pump is running but I fear a power outage which is common this time of year may set things off again.
Desperate for some advice, mostly the Core pump problem.
I also posted this in the Neptune forum.

Swapped the Aquabus cable for a new one and reinstalled the pump. No more error message and it can be controlled again. Oddly the skimmer outlet is back in business as well.
