11.5 When Battery Has Gone Flat During Storage of Programmable
Controller
When using the programmable controller after the guaranteed battery life had expired during storing, the data in the
CPU module and the memory card may had been corrupted.
Before restarting operation, format the CPU module memory and SRAM card using GX Developer.
After formatting the memories, write backed up data to each memory.
To format a program memory during boot operation, select the "Clear program memory" checkbox in the Boot file tab
of the PLC parameter dialog box.
Remark
For the Universal model QCPU, when the latch data backup function (to standard ROM) is used, data will not be disap-
peared 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.
The relationships between battery and battery-backed memorie are shown in Table11.16.

*1: Q6BAT, Q7BAT and Q8BAT are available.
*2: The Universal model QCPU needs no battery backup.
*3: Not applicable to the Basic model QCPU.
Before restarting the operation, format the battery-backed up memories shown in Table11.16 using GX Developer.
For formatting memories, refer to the following.
GX Developer Operating Manual
●
Before storing the programmable controller, back up all the data stored in the memories.
●
When the programmable controller is powered on or the CPU module is reset, the CPU module initializes all of the fol-
lowing data if an error is detected.
• Program memory data
• Standard RAM data
• Error history
• Latch data (latch relay (L), devices in latch setting range set in the parameter, special relay SM900 to SM999, spe-
cial register SD900 to SD900)
• Sampling trace data
