Resetting the CPU to factory settings

With "Reset to factory settings" the CPU is restored to the "as-delivered condition". This
means that all data that were internally stored in the CPU have been deleted.
Recommendation:
If you want to remove a PROFINET CPU and use it elsewhere with a different program, or
put it into storage, then the CPU should be restored to the as-delivered condition. When
restoring 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 operating mode switch
● Using the display
● Using STEP 7
Procedure using the operating mode switch
