14.5 Resetting CPUs to factory settings
Result: The CPU executes a "Reset to factory settings", during which time the RUN/STOP LED
flashes yellow. When the STOP-ACTIVE and RUN/STOP LED light up yellow, then the CPU has
been reset to factory settings, and is in the STOP mode. The "Reset to factory settings" event
is entered in the diagnostics buffer.
Note
Resetting the CPU to the factory settings via the operating mode buttons also deletes the IP
address of the CPU and resets the redundancy ID to 1.
Procedure using the display
Make sure that the CPU is in STOP operating state: The CPU indicates the STOP operating
state. The RUN/STOP LED lights up yellow.
1. Wait until the RUN/STOP LED stops flashing.
2. To navigate to the required "Factory settings" menu command, select the following
sequence of menu commands and confirm each selection with "OK".
– Settings → Reset → Factory settings
Result: The CPU executes a "Reset to factory settings", during which time the RUN/STOP LED
flashes yellow. When the RUN/STOP LED lights up in yellow, the CPU has been reset to factory
settings and is in the STOP operating state. The "Reset to factory settings" event is entered in
the diagnostics buffer.
Procedure using STEP 7
Proceed as follows to reset a CPU to factory settings with STEP 7:
Make sure that there is an online connection to the CPU.
1. Open the Online and Diagnostics view of the CPU.
2. In the "Functions" folder, select the "Reset to factory settings" group.
3. If you want to keep the IP address, select the "Keep IP address" option button. If you want to
delete the IP address, select the "Delete IP address" option button.
Note
"Delete IP address" deletes all IP addresses, regardless of how you established the online
connection.
If a SIMATIC memory card is inserted, selecting the "Delete IP address" option has the
following effect:
• The IP addresses are deleted and the CPU is reset to factory settings.
• The configuration (including IP address) on the SIMATIC memory card is then
468
downloaded to the CPU. If there is no saved configuration (because the SIMATIC
memory card has been cleared or formatted, for example), no new IP address is
assigned.
