16 LATCH FUNCTION
16.1 Types of Latch
16 LATCH FUNCTION
The contents of each device/label of the CPU module is cleared in the cases described below and changed to its default
value.
• At power OFF→ON of the CPU module
• At reset
• A power failure that exceeded allowable momentary power interruption
The contents of each device/label with latch setting will be maintained in case of power failure even in the above-mentioned
cases. Therefore, when the data is managed by continuous control, even if power of the CPU is turned OFF or there is a
power failure that exceeds the allowable momentary power interruption, all data can be maintained and control can be
continued.
16.1 Types of Latch
There are two types of latches, latch (1) and latch (2).
Latch clear range can be set by selecting latch (1) or latch (2).
For latch clearing, refer to Page 120 Clearing of Data of the Latch Range.
