User-triggered restart  
Procedure  
 
  Shuts down all 
applications.  
  Backs up the running 
data, configuration, and 
logs to persistent 
memory. 
  Restarts with running 
(warm) configuration. 
  After software update 
 
  A warm restart might be 
required as part of general 
installation, maintenance or 
troubleshooting procedures. 
For example, a warm restart 
restores operation if the 
device locks up due to power 
or communication 
interruption.

repopulates it using the 
startup (cold) 
configuration. 
  Restarts with startup 
(cold) configuration. 
  Following a startup 
configuration update 
 
  Only as part of a service or 
maintenance procedure or 
when ABB technical support 
specifically directs it.  
A cold restart causes running 
configuration loss (this mig
ht 
also include calibration files). To 
back up before restart, follow 
procedures in section 
8.4.5 Load 
the update software package. 
8.5.6 Cold restart from the 
device loader
 
 Cold restart from 
 
 
  Shuts down all 
applications.  
  Deletes the running 
configuration and 
repopulates it using the 
factory configuration. 
  Restarts with factory 
defaults 
  Use Factory Restart when it 
is necessary or desirable to 
return the flow computer to 
the original configuration as 
shipped from the factory. For 
example, do this when the 
device is relocated, or to 
start a configuration from 
scratch after file corruption 
or failed update. 
A reset to factory defaults causes 
data, running, and startup 
configuration 
loss (this might 
also include calibration files). To 
back up before going back to 
factory defaults, follow 
procedures in section 
8.4.5 Load 
8.5.8 Restart using factory

Power 
loss 
All data logs and 
configurations within the 
current minute are lost.
 
Ensure the Lithium battery is 
enabled
 
Power removal is not a 
recommended method for 
restart.
 
8.5.2  Warm restart with the RESET button 
The warm restart resets the RMC microprocessor. Use a warm restart to take the RMC out of service 
for maintenance or troubleshooting. Only use a warm restart when a power or communication 
interruption causes the microprocessor to lock up.
