Function of the Back-Up Battery
If the power fails or the programmable controller is turned off, the contents of the internal (retentive)
memory are stored only if a back-up battery is connected. When power is recovered or when the
programmable controller is turned on, the following contents are available:
•
Control program and data blocks (see section 7.3.5)
•
Retentive flags and count values (see section 2.2.1)
•
ISTACK contents (see section 5.3]
Note
•
Insert and replace the battery while the programmable controller is turned on.
Otherwise, an OVERALL RESET is required when you turn the programmable
controller on.
•
The lithium battery in the programmable controller has a life expectancy of at least
one year.
•
The yellow LED on the operator panel lights up if the battery fails.
Warning
Do not charge lithium batteries. They could explode. Dispose of used batteries properly.
