Retention (non-volatile 
data storage)
It is a requirement of system and machine controllers for 
operating states or actual values to have retentive settings. 
What this means is that the values will be retained safely 
even after the supply voltage to a machine or system has 
been switched off and are also retained until the next time 
the actual value is overwritten.
Permissible markers and function relays
It is possible to retentively store (non-volatile memory) the 
actual values (status) of markers, timing relays and up/down 
counters.
The following markers and function relays can be set to have 
retentive actual values:
• Markers: M9 to M12, M13 to M16, N9 to N16
• Up/down counters: C5 to C7, C8, C13 to C16
• Text function relays: D1 to D8
• Timing relays: T7, T8, T13 to T16

In order to ensure the full compatibility of CL-LSR/CL-LST 
and CL-LMR/CL-LMT devices with the AC010 devices, the 
settings for the retentive data were divided into the above 
areas.

Attention! 
The retentive data is kept every time the power supply is 
switched off. Data security is assured for 1000000 write 
cycles.
