Delete all Data on PLCnext Controller

Hello,
I would like to completely delete all data on the PLCnext axcf2152. I have already tried factory reset type 1 and type 2 but the data on /dev/mmcblk0p6 and overlay always remain. How can I delete these data completely so that they are back to the factory settings?

Kind Regards

    Hi robo7795,

    sorry for the late reply.

    At least with the reset type 2 should be the golden image restored and the overlay (with the user/application data) deleted.

    The definition is as follows:

    • Type 1 reset
      Deletes project folder, user configuration and IP/PN settings

    • Type 2 reset
      Restores the golden Image (initial FW) and the complete overlay

    You can call the reset via sudo recover-plcnext 1 or 2.

    If the reset type 2 did not do the job, the following information would be helpful:

    • which FW version are you using?
    • what did you do exactly before?

    Have a great weekend,

    Frank

    Hallo Frank,

    My current firmware is 2020.6. I accidentally activated the external memory card in the WBM even though I didn't have one. I was surprised that the overlay memory is not reset when I reset. That's why I thought I had to do it separately.

     

    Best Regards

    I have the same experience. When I make a Reset 2 on one of my AXC F 2152 with FW 2020.6.1 the firmware is not reseted to factory defaults. It always stays at the current version.
