Restore the factory settings of the CPU as follows:
1. Set the mode selector to the STOP position.
Result: The RUN/STOP LED lights up yellow.
2. Remove the SIMATIC memory card from the CPU. Wait until the RUN/STOP LED stops
flashing.
3. Set the mode selector to the MRES position. Hold the mode selector in this position until the
RUN/STOP LED lights up for the second time and remains continuously lit after 3 seconds.
Then release the mode selector.
4. Within the next three seconds, switch the mode selector back to the MRES position and then
back to STOP.
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 the STOP operating state. The "Reset to factory settings" event is entered in
the diagnostics buffer.
Note
Resetting the CPU to the factory settings with the mode selector also deletes the IP address of
the CPU and resets the redundancy ID to 1.
Procedure via the operating mode keys (R-CPUs as of article number 6ES7513-1RM03-0AB0,
6ES7515-2RN03-0AB0)
Make sure that the CPU is in STOP operating state: The CPU display indicates the STOP
operating state. The RUN/STOP LED lights up yellow.
