4.5  EN311 Reset (Reset Request)
This section describes the EN311 reset procedures. There are three ways to reset an 
EN311 as follows:
(1) S controller power on
(2) Reset switch
(3) Reset by a user program running on the S controller
In EN311 reset processing, when one of the above resets occurs, the module first 
performs the self-check described below. If the self-check completes normally, the 
module switches to standby mode (the parameter setting wait state), thus completing the 
reset sequence. If an error is discovered during the self-check, the module goes to the 
down state.
• EN311 module self check items
•System ROM check
• System RAM check
• LAN controller check
• Memory check for S controller interface
See section 4.3, "EN311 Operation Modes and Station Statuses", for more information 
on the EN311 operating modes.
(1) S controller power on
When power is applied to the S controller, power is also applied to the EN311, and 
the EN311 performs its reset processing sequence.
(2) Reset switch
EN311 reset processing is performed when the EN311 reset switch is pressed. This 
technique should be used when it is desirable to reset the EN311 without stopping 
the S controller.
Usage Recommendations
• When pressing the reset switch, use a pointed object, such as a ballpoint pen, to press the 
switch through the hole in the front panels. Be sure to press the switch all the way down.
