Resetting an S7-1500 CPU to factory settings (S7-1500)
Resetting an S7-1500 CPU to factory settings (S7-1500)
Requirement
• If you start a reset to factory settings from the project context, an online connection to the relevant
CPU must exist.
• The relevant CPU is in STOP mode.
Note
If the CPU is still in RUN mode and you start the reset operation, you can place it in STOP
mode after acknowledging a confirmation prompt.
Procedure
To reset an S7-1500 CPU to factory settings, follow these steps:
1. Open the Online and Diagnostics view of the CPU (either from the project context or via "Accessible
devices").
2. Select the "Reset to factory settings" group in the "Functions" folder.
3. Select the "Keep IP address" check box if you want to keep the IP address or the "Delete IP address"
check box if you want to delete the IP address.
Note
With "Delete IP address", all IP addresses are deleted. This applies regardless of how you
created the online connection.
If a memory card is inserted, selecting the "Delete IP address" option causes the following:
The IP addresses are deleted and the CPU is reset to factory settings. Then, the configuration
(including IP addresses) that is stored on the memory card is transferred into the CPU (see
below). If the memory card was formatted before resetting to factory settings or if it is
empty, no IP address is transferred into the CPU.
4. Click the "Reset" button.
5. Acknowledge the confirmation prompt with "OK".
Result
The module is switched to STOP mode if necessary and the settings are then reset to factory
settings. This means:
• The work memory and the internal retentive system memory and all operand areas are cleared.
• All parameters are reset to their defaults.
• The diagnostic buffer is cleared.
• The time of day is reset.
