Types of Data for Transfer and Storage

Transferred data and parameters are written to the internal memory of the MC
Unit where they will be used for operation, but they will be lost if the MC Unit is
turned OFF or the MC Unit is restarted from the CPU Unit. The data must be
saved in the flash memory using the bit area to keep the data in the MC Unit.
Refer to 5-4 Saving Data (page 216) for more details on storing data in flash
memory.
Once data has been saved, it is stored in the flash memory of the MC Unit.
The data will be available from the next time the MC Unit is turned ON or the
MC Unit is restarted.
These data simply transferred without being saved will be lost when the MC
Unit is turned OFF or the Unit is restarted.

(1) Data that has been saved in the flash memory will be automatically read
to the internal memory when the MC Unit is turned ON or the Unit is re-
started.
(2) Do not turn OFF the MC Unit or restart the Unit while data is being saved.
Doing so may damage the flash memory in the MC Unit. It may take up
to 30 seconds to save data.
(3) Data cannot be saved while data is being transferred or the Unit is busy.
(4) Flash memory has a limited service life. Data can be written up to
100,000 times.
The following types of data can be transferred using MC-Miel, or directly by
executing IOWR/IORD instructions.
Refer to SECTION 4 MC Unit Internal Data Configuration and Setting
(page 50) for details on the data and addresses.
