• Do not touch the Expansion I/O Unit Connecting Cable while the power is
being supplied in order to prevent any malfunction due to static electricity.
Always clear memory before beginning to program the CPM1. Although
memory is cleared before the CPU Unit is shipped (except for bits with specific
functions), AR 1314, which turns ON when the internal capacitor cannot back up
memory, may have turned ON during shipment.
If the CPM1 will be turned off for periods exceeding the data backup period of the
internal capacitor, design the system so that it will not be influenced if data in the
DM, HR, and CNT areas is cleared when power is turned off.
Either switch the CPM1 to RUN or MONITOR mode, or turn off and on power to
the CPM1 after changing from a Programming Device any data that is backed up
in flash memory. This data includes the user program, read-only DM area (DM
6144 to DM 6599), and the PC Setup (DM 6600 to DM 6655).
• The user program and memory area data in the CPM1 are backed up either by
an internal capacitor or in flash memory as shown in the following table.
Backup method
Internal capacitor
Flash memory
Note 1. The IR, TR, LR, and timer areas are not normally backed up when power is
turned off and all contents will be cleared the next time power is turned on.
(The PC Setup setting in DM 6601 can be used to back up this data. Refer to
details on the PC Setup later in this manual for details.)
2. The bits in the AR and SR areas have special functions and are set accord-
ing to these functions when power is turned on.
• The capacitor backup time depends on the ambient temperature, as shown in
the following graph. The backup time, however, assumes that the capacitor is
fully charged, which requires that power be supplied to the CPU Unit continu-
ously for at least 15 minutes.
