Connect to the controller via ESME HVAC, go to commisioning, open the filesystem of the controler. Erase all files on the controller. Disconnect the cable an perform a restart.
If you want set back all BIOS Parameter open a new project connect to the plc and make a download all.
A automatic way to reset all EEPROM to default value is not implimented.
