b) Data Memory
This memory area contains, as the title suggests, all of the data values associated with:
data registers (normal and special), Index registers, current timer values, retentive timer
values (if available) and current counter values.
- All of the devices which are designated as being latched (including retentive timers) are
backed up in a similar method to the one mentioned under point a).
- Index registers and special data registers (D8000 to D8255) operate in the specified
manner under the following circumstances:
- All other devices such as current values of non latched data registers, timers and
counters behave in the following manner:
c) Bit Memory
This memory area contains the contact status of all inputs, outputs, auxiliary relays, state coils,
timers and counters.
- All of the devices which are designated as being latched (including retentive timers) are
backed up in a similar method to the one mentioned under point a).
- Special auxiliary relays (M8000 to M8255) act in a similar way to the special data
registers mentioned under point b).
- All other devices are subject to the same changes as the current values of data registers,
timers and counter (see the last point and table under section b).
