3-2-3 I/O Memory Backup
The built-in capacitor’s backup time for I/O memory during a power interruption is listed below for E-type
CPU Units and N/NA-type CPU Units.
E-type CPU Units: 50 hours at 25°C
N/NA-type CPU Units (without a battery): 40 hours at 25°C
The following areas are unstable when power is interrupted for longer than the I/O memory backup
times given above.
• DM Area (D) (excluding words backed up to the EEPROM using the DM backup function)
• Holding Area (H)
• Counter PVs and Completion Flags (C)
• Auxiliary Area related to clock function (A)
Additional Information
Words in the Auxiliary Area related to clock function are unstable. Others are cleared to default
values.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
Use an N/NA-type CPU Unit with a Battery mounted if it is necessary to retain the contents of the
DM Area (D) and Holding Area (A), the Counter Present Values (C), the status of Counter Com-
pletion Flags (C), and the status of bits in the Auxiliary Area (A) related to clock functions when
the power supply is turned ON after the power has been OFF for a period of time. These con-
tents and status cannot be retained with an E-type CPU Unit.
