Appendix
To replace the system-memory backup battery, open the panel window on the front side of the controller
and replace the coin battery in the battery holder.
It is recommended that the battery be replaced regularly in accordance with the frequency/duration of
controller usage.
The battery must be replaced as soon as the controller’s battery voltage monitor function generates a
battery voltage low alarm.
After an alarm is detected, a battery error will occur in approx. 10 days at a surrounding air temperature of
20
qC if the power is supplied to the controller continuously. Once a battery error occurs, the data will be
physically lost in approx. four days.
If the controller is not operated at all, the above periods should be reduced to 80% at 20
qC or to 25% at
40
qC.
The controller is designed so that the data will not be lost for at least 30 minutes without a battery if the
controller is not detecting a battery error. Remember to complete the battery replacement within 30
minutes.
To prevent data loss, you can use the PC software to evacuate the data in the SRAM to the flash ROM
and then reload the flash ROM data to the SRAM after a new battery is installed.
The battery specifications are shown in the table below.
