Item Description
Latched contents The optional battery backs up the RAM memory built in the PLC and clock data.
Maintenance
The battery life is around 5 years, (when the ambient temperature is 25°C).
For replacement information, refer to the Users Manual [Hardware Edition] of each PLC.
Cautions When the optional battery voltage becomes low, the RAM memory built in the PLC and clock data is lost.
Item Description
Latched contents The battery backs up the RAM memory built in the PLC, latched (battery backed) type devices and clock data.
Maintenance
The battery life is around 5 years, (when the ambient temperature is 25°C).
For replacement information, refer to the Users Manual [Hardware Edition] of each PLC.
Cautions
1) When the battery voltage becomes low, sequence programs and other latched (battery backed) contents are
lost.
2) When an optional memory cassette (flash memory) is mounted, it is not necessary to back up sequence
programs by the battery.
Item Description
Latched contents The EEPROM memory built in the memory cassette backs up sequence programs.
Maintenance Maintenance is not necessary.
Cautions
The upper limit is set to the number of times for overwriting.
(Refer to the Hardware Edition of the main unit.)
