 Detection of errors and replacement interval of backup battery
• When voltage of the backup battery declines, the system relays (SR24 and SR25) are turned
on. As necessary, create a program for reporting the error to outside.
• If the system register's "Report Battery Error" setting is turned valid, the CPU ERROR LED
on the CPU unit flashes.
• Promptly replace the battery, though data are retained for about one week from the detection
of a backup battery error, even if no power at all is supplied.
The retained memory data may become indefinite after one week has
•
passed with no power supplied, from the time when the system relays
(SR24 and SR25) turned on or when the ERROR LED on the CPU unit
flashed.
The system relays (SR24 and SR25) turn on when a backup battery error is
•
detected, regardless of settings in the CPU's configuration.
Regardless of time passed from detection of a backup battery error, supply
•
power to the CPU unit for at least 5 minutes before replacing the backup
battery.
