If there was a SIMATIC Memory Card inserted in the CPU prior to the reset to factory settings,
the CPU loads the configuration contained on the SIMATIC Memory Card (hardware and
software):
• A configured IP address is then valid again.
• If you have backed up adjustment values of absolute encoders on the SIMATIC Memory
Card with the "MC_SaveAbsoluteEncoderData" instruction, these become valid after the
reset to factory settings with SIMATIC Memory Card inserted in the CPU.
Note
Password for protection of confidential configuration data
The password
for protection of confidential configuration data is retained after the CPU is
reset to factory settings. The password is only deleted when the "Delete password for
protection of confidential PLC configuration data" option is set.
