Start to Use the Controller Chapter 3
Stage 2 Reset
The stage 2 reset completes the following:
• Returns the module to firmware revision 1.xxx, that is, the out-of-box
firmware revision.
• Clears all user settings, including network and time synchronization
settings.
• The EtherNet/IP mode is reset to Dual-IP mode, if it was changed to
Linear/DLR mode.
• Resets the controller to begin the controller startup process.
• There are no entries in the controller log after a Stage 2 reset, but saved
logs on the SD card remain.
• Shuts down the COS, if it was running when the reset occurred.
You cannot restart the COS until after the firmware is updated to a
working revision, that is, revision 32.011 or later.
IMPORTANT A stage 2 reset occurs only if the following conditions exist:
• The controller does not contain a user application.
• The current controller firmware is not a 1.xxx revision.
