Resetting the CPU to factory settings
Introduction

Recommendation:
Switch the CPU to its as-delivered condition if
● You want to remove a CPU and use it elsewhere with a different program.
● You want to store the CPU.
When resetting to factory settings, remember that the IP address parameters are also
deleted.
