5.2.3 Internal relay (M)
The internal relay (M) is a device for auxiliary relays used in the CPU module. All of the internal relay are set to off
when:
• the CPU module is powered off and then on,
• the CPU module is reset, or
• the latch clear is executed. ( Page 83, Section 3.4)
The internal relay cannot be latched (data retention during power failure). Use the latch relay (L) when latch is required.

5.2.4 Latch relay (L)
The latch relay (L) is a device for auxiliary relays that can be latched inside the CPU module. During power failure, on/
off information are retained by the battery in the CPU module. The previous on/off information are retained even after
performing the following to the CPU module.
• Power OFF→ON
• Reset
The latch relay is turned off by the latch clear operation.
Scan time is prolonged when the latch relay is used. ( Page 286, Appendix 1.2)
5.2.5 Link relay (B)
The link relay is an internal relay whose point is input in hexadecimal.
