Resetting CPUs to factory settings
Introduction
The CPU can be reset to its as-delivered condition using "Reset to factory settings". The
function deletes all information saved internally on the CPU.
Recommendation:
Switch the CPU to its as-delivered condition if:
• You remove a CPU and use it elsewhere with a different program.
• You store the CPU.
When resetting to factory settings, remember that the IP address parameters are also deleted.

• Using the mode selector / mode selector keys
