Resetting the CPU to factory settings

Function
The CPU can be reset to its factory state using "Reset to factory settings". The function
deletes all information that was stored internally on the CPU.
Recommendation:
If you want to remove a PROFINET CPU and use it elsewhere with a different program, or
put it into storage, restore the CPU to the factory state. When resetting to factory settings,
remember that the IP address parameters are also deleted.
Options for resetting a CPU to factory settings
There are three options for resetting the CPU to the as-delivered condition:
● Using the mode selector
● Using the display
● Using STEP 7
Procedure using the mode selector
Make sure that the CPU is in STOP mode (the CPU display shows STOP mode or
RUN/STOP LED lights up yellow).
