Reset the Controller to Factory Settings
The AKD PDMM or PCMM can be manually triggered to perform a factory reset.
The reset is performed using these methods:
- From the File System tab of the webserver while the drive is running.
- This method is recommended due to its ease of use.
- Selecting the function from the Kollmorgen Controller's B3 Button Menu.
- This can be done during the boot sequence or while the drive is running.
After two seconds (or longer if pressed during power-up), the 7-segment display on the control is changed to an animation pattern indicating that the factory reset has started.
These changes occur during a factory reset:
- Resets any application previously downloaded.
- Resets the IP address, Subnet, and Gateway settings.
- Resets any retained variables.
- Resets the Auto-Start option.
- Resets the password to the default for both the web page and SSH login (for both PCMM 1G and 2G).
- For 2G only: The SSH keys are regenerated.
SSH clients logged on during the factory reset are forced to log in again.
- For 2G only: The SSH keys are regenerated.
- Reset shared directory settings.
Notes
- The factory reset cannot be performed while an application is running.
- If the AKD PDMM or PCMM has just been powered up, the B3 button must be held down much longer than 2 seconds.
- In this case, hold down the button until the 7-segment display shows the Kollmorgen Controller's B3 Button Menu.
- The factory reset takes 4-5 minutes to complete on the 1G and only about a minute on the 2G.
- The 7-segment display on the controller is animated during this process.
- Do not turn off the control during this procedure.
- After the factory reset is complete, the control is powered down and restarted automatically.
