11-4 Clearing All Memory
This section describes how to clear all memory in the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminals.
This procedure is not used to clear all memory in the Safety Control Units. Refer to the NX-series 
Safety Control Unit User’s Manual (Cat. No. Z930) for the procedure for the Clear All Memory operation 
for the Safety Control Units.
The clear all memory function of the Support Software initializes various setting information in the Eth-
erNet/IP Slave Terminal to the default settings, such as the Unit configuration information and the I/O 
allocation information.
You can use this function on the Sysmac Studio to initialize various setting information.
You can specify the scope of the memory to clear from the following.
• EtherNet/IP Coupler and NX Units
• EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit only
• NX Units only
• Event Logs
• Use the Support Software to clear the parameters of the connected NX Units.
• The Support Software can not clear all EtherNet/IP parameters. Use the Network Configura-
tor to clear all EtherNet/IP related parameters.
The function clears the following data in the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal.
