Function: The command opens a dialog to reset the device to its factory settings. All applications, boot applications, and remanent variables will be deleted from the device. In this dialog, you can select the elements to be deleted, depending on the version of the device. When these elements are deselected in the dialog, they are not deleted during the reset and remain on the controller.

By default, all elements are selected and everything is deleted. Elements which are not available for selection are generally also deleted.

If a safety controller is inserted below a controller, then this command can interrupt the communication connections permanently.

Connections of the safety controller to other safety controllers (via safety network variables), to field devices, and to the development system are affected. The safe field devices or other safety controllers can enter the safe state as a reaction. The connection to the development system is affected only when a safety controller that is connected to the main controller via a fieldbus.
