parameter data to flash memory when these are written to the CPU Unit. I/O
memory (including the DM, EM, and HR Areas), however, is not written to
flash memory. The DM, EM, and HR Areas can be held during power interrup-
tions with a battery. If there is a battery error, the contents of these areas may
not be accurate after a power interruption. If the contents of the DM, EM, and
HR Areas are used to control external outputs, prevent inappropriate outputs
from being made whenever the Battery Error Flag (A40204) is ON. Areas
such as the DM, EM, and HR Areas, the contents of which can be held during
power interrupts, is backed up by a battery. If a battery error occurs, the con-
tents of the areas that are set to be held may not be accurate even though a
memory error will not occur to stop operation. If necessary for the safety of the
system, take appropriate measures in the ladder program whenever the Bat-
tery Error Flag (A40204) turns ON, such as resetting the data in these areas.

longevity and reliability of the system. Improper operating environments can
lead to malfunction, failure, and other unforeseeable problems with the PLC
System. Be sure that the operating environment is within the specified condi-
tions at installation and remains within the specified conditions during the life
of the system.
