The present invention relates to a method for managing the restarting of automatic control equipment, consisting in: backing up, on an outage of the main electrical power supply, in a non-volatile memory (Flash 2) of the automatic control equipment, the data and a signature (LID′) associated with the mapping of the data in the volatile memory (RAM) of the application program which is running at the time of the outage, after the end of the main electrical power supply outage, reloading the application program into the volatile memory (RAM) from a backup available in another non-volatile memory (Flash 1), comparing the signature (LID′) with a signature backed up (LID) to decide on a restart of the automatic control equipment.
