Performing a memory reset

Memory reset process in the CPU
You can perform a memory reset of the CPU from the programming device. During a
memory reset, the following process occurs on the CPU:
● The CPU deletes the entire user program in the main memory.
● The CPU deletes the user program from the load memory.
● The CPU deletes all counters, bit memories, and timers, but not the time of day.
● The CPU tests its hardware.
● The CPU sets its parameters to default settings.
The LEDs behave as following during the memory reset:
1. The STOP LED flashes for about 1-2 seconds at 2 Hz.
2. All LEDs light up for approximately 10 seconds.
3. The STOP LED flashes for about 40 seconds at 2 Hz.
4. The STOP LED lights up permanently.
