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 STOP. The "Reset to factory settings" event is entered in the diagnostics
buffer.

Note
IP address conflict
Resetting the CPU to the factory settings also deletes the IP address of the CPU and resets the
redundancy ID to 1. Please note the following:
An S7-1500R/H redundant system that is already in operation is switched to the STOP system
state. If you reset the CPU with redundancy ID 2 to factory settings, that CPU is assigned the
IP address of the other CPU (with redundancy ID 1). This results in an IP address conflict. You
can only access the CPU with the emergency address. You can find information on the
emergency address in the section Backing up and restoring the CPU configuration (Page 421).
Possible remedy: Using the display, assign the CPU the redundancy ID previously set. You can
then access the CPU over the original IP address again.
