7.6 Deleting data
7.6.1 Overview of data deletion
You can define the scope of data to be deleted from SIMOTION C memory described in the
"user memory concept". This enables you to determine whether data in your system should
be deleted completely or partially.
You have the following options for deleting SIMOTION C data:
● SIMOTION C memory reset
● Deleting user data from the micro memory card
● Setting SIMOTION C to factory settings

7.6.2 SIMOTION C memory reset
Introduction
During the memory reset, the "volatile data" in the RAM of the SIMOTION C and the "non-
volatile data" in the NVRAM, except for the communication configuration (baud rates,
network addresses, etc.), is deleted. The data on the MMC is retained during the memory
reset.
You must perform a memory reset of the SIMOTION C:
● When you want to undo changes you have made to your user data (programs,
configuration data, parameter assignments) that you have not backed up with the "Copy
RAM to ROM" menu command.
● If the SIMOTION C requests a memory reset with a flashing STOP LED (slow flashing)
(e.g. micro memory card has been removed).
● The "non-volatile data" does not match the project on the MMC and therefore an error
occurs.
You can perform the memory reset online via SIMOTION SCOUT or offline via the mode
selector on the SIMOTION C.
