Caution
1. Allowable number of writes to the memory
Note the following cautions on access to extension file registers.
• In FX /FX
3U 3UC
Data can be written to the memory cassette (flash memory) up to 10,000 times.
Every time the INITR (FNC292), RWER (FNC294) or INITER (FNC295) instruction is executed, it is counted as a
write to the memory. Make sure not to exceed the allowable writes.
When a continuous operation type instruction is used, data is written to the memory in every operation cycle of the
PLC. To prevent this, make sure to use a pulse operation type instruction.
Execution of the LOADR (FNC290), SAVER (FNC291) or LOGR (FNC293) instruction is not counted as a write to
the memory. However, it is necessary to initialize the writing target sector before executing the SAVER (FNC291)
or LOGR (FNC293) instruction.
Every time the INITR (FNC292) or INITER (FNC295) instruction is executed, it is counted as a number of times of
writing to the memory. Make sure not to exceed the allowable number of writes.
• In FX PLCs
3G
Data can be written to the memory cassette (EEPROM) up to 10,000 times, and to the built-in memory (EEPROM)
up to 20,000 times.
Every time the RWER (FNC294) instruction is executed, it is counted as a write to the memory. Make sure not to
exceed the allowable number of writes.
When a continuous operation type instruction is used, data is written to the memory in every operation cycle of the
PLC. To prevent this, make sure to use a pulse operation type instruction.
Execution of the LOADR (FNC290)instruction is not counted as a write to the memory.
Errors
An operation error is caused in the following cases; The error flag M8067 turns ON, and the error code is stored in
D8067.
• When the last device number to be transferred exceeds "32767" (error code: K6706)
At this time, devices up to R32767 are read and transferred.
• When a memory cassette is not connected (error code: K6771)
*1. An operation error is not caused in FX
EEPROM built in the PLC are read if a memory cassette is not connected.
Program example
In the program example shown below, the contents (current value) of 4,000 extension file registers ER1 to ER4000
inside the memory cassette are read, and transferred to 4,000 extension registers R1 to R4000 inside the built-in RAM.
