Figure 10-10 Restore retain data
Note
In the event of a power failure of the SIMOTION P320-4, the retain data in PMEMORY.XML
will not be restored automatically.
Note
If a data inconsistency exists in the event of a power failure because the backup battery has
fallen below a threshold value, the data backup from PMEMORY.XML will be written back into
the SRAM.

Save unit variables and global device variables
Unit variables and global device variables are never retentive; the data will be lost in the event
of a power failure.
If the unit variables and global device variables which have not been declared as retain
variables are to be recovered after a power failure, the user program can use system functions
to save this data to data sets (files on the external CFast card).
