Memory reset of SIMOTION D4x5-2
Introduction
During the memory reset, the memory of the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 and the non-volatile
SIMOTION data in the NVRAM with the exception of the communication configuration (baud
rates, network addresses, etc.), are deleted. The data on the CF card is retained during the
memory reset.
You must perform a memory reset of SIMOTION SIMOTION D4x5‑2:
● If you want to undo changes made to user data (programs, configuration data, parameter
assignments) which you have not backed up by means of the "Copy RAM to ROM"
command.
● If the STOP LED is flashing (slow flashing, yellow) to indicate that the SIMOTION D4x5‑2
is requesting a memory reset.
● If the non‑volatile SIMOTION data and the project on the CF card do not match and an
error occurs (diagnostic buffer entry).
You can perform the memory reset online via SIMOTION SCOUT or offline via the mode
selector on the SIMOTION D4x5‑2.
