Engineering suite for configuration and programming of all PLCs
Cold start Note: The AC500-eCo V3 does not use a battery for buffering the operand areas speci-
fied below, hence the “cold start” mode does not exist in this product.
● A cold start is performed by switching power OFF/ON if no battery is connected.
● All RAM memory modules are checked and erased.
● If no user program is stored in the Flash EPROM, the default values (as set on
delivery) are applied to the interfaces.
● If there is a user program stored in the Flash EPROM, it is loaded into RAM.
● The default operating modes set by the PLC configuration are applied.

Data buf-
fering
● Data buffering, i.e., maintaining data after power ON/OFF, is only possible, if a battery
is connected for AC500 CPU and the buffering will take place in FLASH with AC500-
eCo V3 CPU. The following data can be buffered completely or in parts:
– Data in the addressable flag area (%M area)
– RETAIN variable
– PERSISTENT variable (number is limited, no structured variables)
– PERSISTENT area (%R area)
● In order to buffer particular data, the data must be excluded from the initialization
process.
Download ● Download means loading the complete user program into the PLC's RAM. This
process is started by selecting the menu item "Online/Download" in the programming
system or after confirming a corresponding system message when switching to online
mode (menu item "Online/Login").
● Execution of the user program is stopped.
● In order to store the user program to the Flash memory, the menu item "Online/Create
boot project" must be called after downloading the program.
● Variables are set to their initialization values according to the initialization table.
● RETAIN variables can have wrong values as they can be allocated to other memory
addresses in the new project!
● A download is forced by the following:
– changed PLC configuration
– changed task configuration
– changed library management
– changed compile-specific settings (segment sizes)
– execution of the commands "Project/Clean all" and "Project/Rebuild All".
