Effects of a reset
If you reset your PLCnext Control (reset type 1 and 2), the following happens:
- The overlay file system (upperdir) is deleted. This also deletes all apps on the PLCnext Control.
If you want to continue using the apps, reinstall the apps after the reset. - Existing licenses on the PLCnext Control are retained.
(The existence of the licenses can be checked in the Web‑based Management (WBM) on the License management page.) - The PLCnext Control remains in the device pool of your PLCnext Store account.
- The PLCnext Control is disconnected from the PLCnext Store after a reset:
- The IP address and gateway of the PLCnext Control are reset to the default setting 192.168.1.10.
Adjust the IP address and gateway according to your specifications. - The PLCnext Store connection is switched off.
Reactivate the PLCnext Store connection in the WBM on the PLCnext Store page. - The device communication to the PLCnext Store is prevented.
Reactivate the device communication of the PLCnext Control in the device pool of your PLCnext Store account:

This will automatically create a new security token for your device. This security token is automatically stored in the device and authenticates you as an authorized user.
- The IP address and gateway of the PLCnext Control are reset to the default setting 192.168.1.10.
