Using Real-Time Clock and Memory Modules 6-3
Use the Disable Clock button in your programming device to disable
the real-time clock before storing a module. This decreases the drain

following features:
• User Program and Data Back-Up
• Program Compare
• Data File Download Protection
• Memory Module Write Protection
• Removal/Insertion Under Power
User Program and Data Back-Up
The memory module provides a simple and flexible program/data
transport mechanism, allowing the user to transfer the program and
data to the controller without the use of a personal computer and
programming software.
The memory module can store one user program at a time.
During transfers from a memory module, the controller’s RUN LED
flashes.
