(Note-1): The battery consumption represents consumption of the Motion controller battery energy.  
The larger the battery consumption value is, the more battery per time unit is consumed. 
Refer to the "QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection) for details. 
(Note-2): The actual service value indicates the average value, and the guaranteed value indicates the minimum value. 
(Note-3): The power-on time ratio indicates the ratio of Motion controller power-on time to one day (24 hours). 
(When the total power-on time is 17 hours and the total power-off time is 7 hours, the power-on time ratio is 70%.) 
(Note-4): The guaranteed value (MIN) ; equivalent to the total power failure time that is calculated based on the characteristics value of the 
memory (SRAM) supplied by the manufacturer and under the storage ambient temperature range of -25°C to 75°C (-13 to 167°F) 
(operating ambient temperature of 0°C to 55°C (32 to 131°F)). 
(Note-5): The guaranteed value (TYP) ; equivalent to the total power failure time that is calculated based on the normal air-conditioned 
environment (40°C (104°F)).  
(Note-6): The actual service value (Reference value) ; equivalent to the total power failure time that is calculated based on the measured 
value and under the storage ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F). This value is intended for reference only, as it varies with 
characteristics of the memory. 
(Note-7): Battery consumption 1 cannot be used in Q170MSCPU. 
 
 
POINTS 
 
The self-discharge influences the battery life even without a connection to the 
Motion controller. The battery should be replaced approximately every 4 to 5 years. 
In addition, replace the battery with a new one in 4 to 5 years even if the total 
power failure time is the guaranteed value or less.
