Retentivity Of Memory Objects; Table 4-2 Retentivity Behavior Of Memory Objects (Applies To All Cpus With Dp/Mpi-Ss) - Siemens CPU 31 Series Technical Data Manual

Retentive data in RAM
Therefore, the contents of retentive DBs are always retentive at restart and POWER
ON/OFF.
CPUs V2.1.0 or higher also support volatile DBs (the volatile DBs are initialized at restart of
POWER OFF-ON with their initial values from load memory.)

Retentivity of memory objects

Retentive behavior of memory objects
The table below shows the retentive behavior of memory objects during specific operating
state transitions.

configured as DP nodes).

Retentive behavior of a DB for CPUs with firmware < V2.1.0
For these CPUs, the contents of the DBs are always retentive at POWER ON/OFF or STOP-
RUN.
