11.5 When Battery Has Gone Flat During Storage of Programmable
Controller
When the programmable controller is to be used after being stored for some period of time
and the battery has gone flat during storage, the memories in the CPU module and
memory card may be corrupted.
Hence, before resuming operation, always clear the memory of CPU module and format
the SRAM card using GX Developer.
After formatting the memories, write the memory contents backed up prior to storage to
each memory.
Remark
The relationships between battery and battery-backed memorie are shown in Table11.15.

For the Universal model QCPU, when the latch data backup function (to standard
ROM) is used, data will not be disappeared even if a battery life ends, since latch
data such as device data of the CPU module or error history can be backed up
without using a battery.
