Data Carrier Service Life Detection
The methods used to detect the service life of the Data Carrier depend on the memory type (SRAM or EEPROM).
For SRAM, a battery life check is performed, and for EEPROM, the number of overwrites is monitored.
•SRAM Data Carriers (with Built-in Battery)
Checking If the Battery is Low
Built-in Battery (Not Including V600-D2KR16)
(1)A battery-low check for the Data Carrier can only be performed when special access is made. The
battery-low check is performed by running a fixed current through the internal circuit of the Data
Carrier. If the battery-low check is performed every time access is made, battery power is also
consumed. It is recommended that this be included as a routine check, once a day, when creating
system programs.
(2)The access method for performing a battery-low check can only be performed when the two bytes of
data from addresses 0000H to 0001H are read. Execute one of the following commands to perform a
battery-low check.
:
Battery-low Check Commands
a. READ command
b. AUTO READ command
c. BUTTON READ command
d. BUTTON AUTO READ command
e. COPY READ command
f. EXPANSION DIVIDED READ command
g. EXPANSION DIVIDED AUTO READ command
h. EXPANSION BATCH READ command
i. EXPANSION BATCH AUTO READ command
j. EXPANSION BATCH BUTTON READ command
k. EXPANSION BATCH BUTTON AUTO READ command
(3)Response for Low Battery
When the battery is low, 7B is given in the end code section within the response format.
