Reset device (repair mode)

The repair mode resets the device to the firmware default settings.
This is also referred to as a "Factory Reset".

Note

Loss of custom configuration
The repair mode reset wipes the configuration in the device. No roll-back is possible if the configuration is not read from the device and saved to a file with the Proemion Configurator.

Read and store the configuration prior to a repair mode reset.

These three methods reset the device in exactly the same way.
After a reset has been performed - the device is configured, and behaves exactly as it arrived from the factory.

Reset Device to Factory Settings via Starter Cable / Main Plug Connector

Factory Reset Device via Object Dictionary

Another method of performing a factory reset is by using the Object Dictionary.

If the value 0x64616F6C is written to object 0x1011:0x01 [Restore all default parameters], the device immediately performs a factory reset.

While the factory reset functionality is available to customers, it should be used cautiously and preferably by trained personnel who understand the implications.
As noted, any configurations will be lost unless previously saved with the Proemion Configurator.
It's advisable for customers to consult with Proemion support or refer to device-specific documentation before performing a factory reset.

Factory Reset Device via Proemion Configurator

The device can be simply reset to the Factory default settings using the Proemion Configurator.

  1. Connect to the device
  2. Select Tools > Reset device to factory settings...
    Select Reset Device

There is no feedback.
The device will simply be initialized to how it was delivered from the factory.
