Chapter 9 PLC Operation

9.4 Operation Parameter

The settings of “parameters,” which are required to perform tasks such as creating programs, transferring programs to the CPU, are performed. The setting contents are explained below.

*: 10-point type CPU does not have the power failure memory function. Even though it is possible to set a power failure memory area from a peripheral unit, the values that are stored here will not be persistent; do not set this function.

Moreover, 14-point type CPU can maintain power failure memory only up to 72 hours. Note that non-persistent values will be stored if the power supply to the main unit is not turned on after these hours have passed. 23- and 28- point CPUs without a battery can maintain power failure memory for only up to 30 minutes. The data can be retained for approximately two months by installing a battery.
