Reset of the values and parameters
In some cases, it could be required to do a reset, e.g., for resetting of counter values, parameters etc.
The retain / persistent memory for the PLCs PM56xx-2ETH must be buffered by a TA521 or TA522 adapter for a battery. Following described functionalities are only working if a primary lithium battery is inserted. Take care about the handling for TA521 or TA522.

The AC500-eCo PLCs, PM50xx-ETH PLCs don't need a primary lithium battery.
