7.4
Performing a memory reset
Memory reset process in the CPU
You can perform a memory reset of the CPU from the ES. During a memory reset, the
following process occurs on the CPU:
●
The CPU deletes the entire user program in the main memory.
●
The CPU deletes the user program from the load memory.
●
The CPU deletes all counters, bit memories, and timers, but not the time of day.
●
The CPU tests its hardware.
●
The CPU sets its parameters to default settings.
The LEDs behave as following during the memory reset:
1.
The STOP LED flashes for about 1-2 seconds at 2 Hz.
2.
All LEDs light up for approximately 10 seconds.
3.
The STOP LED flashes for approximately 30 seconds at 2 Hz.
4.
The RUN LED and the STOP LED flash for approximately 2 seconds at 0.5 Hz.
This operation can also take a few seconds longer depending on the utilization level of
the memory.
5.
The RUN LED and the STOP LED flash for approximately 2 seconds at 0.5 Hz.
If a large data volume is being deleted, the LEDs may flash longer.
6.
The STOP LED lights up permanently.
Data retained after a memory reset...
The following values are retained after a memory reset:
●
The content of the diagnostic buffer
●
The baud rate of the DP interface
