Resetting the Windows section
The Windows part of the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER can be reset to the delivery state by importing a recovery image.
A corresponding recovery image is available as a download from the Online Support on the SEW‑EURODRIVE website.
INFORMATION

Since the OMW CFast memory card is completely erased when applying the recovery image, license files should be backed up beforehand. Contact SEW‑EURODRIVE Service in this case.
After applying the recovery image, the license file must be saved again in the same directory. If this folder structure is not displayed, hidden folder items may need to be displayed using the Windows Explorer view options.

Carry out the following steps to import the recovery image:
- Insert the OMW CFast memory card into the card reader and connect the card reader to your engineering PC.
- The OMW CFast memory card is recognized as a new drive.
- Make a note of the drive letter assigned to the OMW CFast memory card for a later installation step. Incorrect entries can halt the installation or, in the worst case, delete another memory medium and subsequently install the recovery image on that memory medium.
- Unzip the recovery image into any directory on the engineering PC.
- The directory with the unzipped files must contain the
Start_Recovery.batfile. For more information, refer to theReadme.txtfile that is also included. - Right-click the
Start_Recovery.batfile to open the shortcut menu and select the [Run as administrator] menu item to start the installation of the recovery image with administrator rights. - The console window for installing the recovery image opens and lists all available drives.
