Installing Remote Base Controllers—RBCs SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
PPX:505–6870 RBC (continued)
The RESET pushbutton on the front of the RBC is deliberately recessed to
prevent accidental activation. When you press this button, a global reset is
immediately performed on the RBC. After completing reset, the RBC
assumes the RS-232 baud rate stipulated by the setting of switches 1
through 3 on the dipswitch, and the station address indicated by switches 4
through 10.

WARNING
Pressing the RESET button when the system is operating causes the RBC to be
logged off the system. When the RBC is logged off, inputs and outputs
associated with the base are affected, as described below. If you do not take the
condition of your inputs and outputs into account, logging the RBC off the
system can cause unpredictable process operation.
Unpredictable process operation can cause death or serious injury to
personnel, and/or damage to equipment.
Do not reset your RBC unless you understand and are prepared for the
consequences (described below).
The following actions take place when an RBC is reset.
• The CPU logs the RBC off the system and sets the image register
points which represent the inputs from this RBC’s base to zero. The
image register is zeroed out until the RBC completes reset and resumes
communication with the CPU. If this occurs while the system is
operating, depending on your RLL program, turning these inputs off
could affect other base outputs.
• From the assertion of reset until the RBC completes the reset and
resumes communication with the CPU, the state of the outputs on this
RBC’s base is determined by the output module, with no reference to
the RBC’s E1 (Off/Freeze) jumper. Discrete outputs go off (to a value of
zero). Analog/word outputs obey their own Zero/Hold Last Value
selection. If no Zero/Hold Last Value selection is available on the
module, the analog/word outputs hold their last value.
• If the station address you assign to the RBC (by setting the dipswitch)
inadvertently duplicates an address already in use by a second slave on
the I/O channel, then when the RBC completes its reset and attempts
to communicate, identifying itself with the new station address, the
second slave may be logged off the system. Intermittent operation could
occur as long as the two slaves are set to the same station address.
