Use the CPU properties to configure how the CPU starts up after a power cycle.
The CPU performs a warm restart before going to RUN mode. Warm restart resets all non-
retentive memory to the default start values, but the CPU retains the current values stored in
the retentive memory.
Note
The CPU always performs a restart after a download
Whenever you download an element of your project (such as a program block, data block, or
hardware configuration), the CPU performs a restart on the next transition to RUN mode. In
addition to clearing the inputs, initializing the outputs and initializing the non-retentive
memory, the restart also initializes the retentive memory areas.
After the restart that follows a download, all subsequent STOP-to-RUN transitions perform a
warm restart (that does not initialize the retentive memory).
