5-8 Auxiliary Area (A)
The words and bits in this area have preassigned functions.
Refer to A-2 Auxiliary Area Allocations by Address for details.
Precautions for Safe Use
• With an E-type CPU Unit or with an N/NA-type CPU Unit without a Battery, the contents of the
DM Area (D) *, Holding Area (H), 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 may
be unstable when the power supply is turned ON.
* This does not apply to areas backed up to EEPROM using the DM backup function.
If the DM backup function is being used, be sure to refer to 3-2-4 Initializing I/O Memory at
Startup for details.
• Words in the Auxiliary Area related to clock function are unstable.
The Auxiliary Area contains 754 words with addresses ranging from A0 to A753.
