2-1 Basic System Configuration
This section describes the system configurations using E-type and N-type CP1E CPU Units.
The system configuration when using a CP1E E-type CPU Unit is shown below.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
For CP1E CPU Units, the following I/O memory area will be unstable after a power interruption.
• DM Area (D) (excluding words backed up to the EEPROM using the DM function)
• Holding Area (H)
• Counter Present Values and Completion Flags (C)
• Auxiliary Area related to clock functions(A)
Mount the CP1W-BAT01 Battery (sold separately) to an N-type CPU Unit if data in the
above areas need to be retained after a power interruption. A Battery cannot be mounted to
an E-type CPU Unit.
