Looking to reset my 5380 (5069-L310) PLC at my home lab in order to create a step-by-step video tutorial on setting IP addresses, updating firmware, and loading default programs. Does anyone have instructions on how to do this? Do I need to revert back to Firmware V1? Are there V1 firmware images available for download?
To reset the controller, first power it down. Then, open the front door and remove the SD card. Next, press and hold the reset button with a paper clip. While continuing to hold the button, turn the power back on. Once the display shows "Factory Default," release the button. Power down the system and remove the SD card to ensure any existing applications are deleted. Format the SD card on a PC, reinstall it, and power up the CPU. Your controller will now be as good as new.

To ensure a clean reset, I recommend formatting the SD card on a PC before reinstalling it in the controller. This will make the controller act like new. Don't forget to follow these steps for a successful reset process. OG.
Great plan to create a tutorial! For a 5380 (5069-L310) PLC reset, there's no need to revert to Firmware V1. You can complete this task using your current firmware. For step-by-step instructions, I'd recommend Allen Bradley's manuals which are available online. It clearly walks you through the process of resetting your PLC and setting IP addresses. Regarding loading default programs, this largely pertains to the software you're using. RSLogix5000, for example, has a straightforward process for this.
You may not necessarily need to revert back to Firmware V1 for this tutorial. It's totally feasible to demonstrate setting IP Addresses, updating firmware, and loading default programs even on the latest software version. The process should be relatively similar across the different firmware versions. That said, if you're looking specifically for V1 firmware images, you might not find them readily online due it being an older version, you can try reaching out to the PLC manufacturer or check their official website for archives. As far as instructions on resetting your 5380 (5069-L310) PLC, you should be able to do this through the device's interface - there's usually an option for a factory reset somewhere in the settings. If there's no such option, a manual reset might be required, but you'd have to consult the device's manual or the manufacturer's website for those instructions.
