Retention Function - Eaton easyE4 series Manual

7.13 Retention function

Only possible with easySoft 7.
It is a requirement of system and machine controllers for operating states or ACTUAL
values to have retentive settings. What this means is that the values will be retained
until the next time the ACTUAL value is overwritten.
There are two input fields (for the start and end values of the retention range) each for
markers and for the following function blocks.

Retention bytes
The entire retentive marker range for an easyE4 must not exceed 400 bytes. The total of
the retention bytes for the main program and user function blocks (UF) will be displayed
in the Project view, in the System settings tab. If the retentive marker range exceeds
400 bytes, a red negative number will be shown in the Free field in order to indicate this.
