CPU Unit Operation Section 2-4
2-4-4 Initialization at Startup
The following initializing processes will be performed once each time the
power is turned ON.
• Confirm mounted Units and I/O allocations.
• Clear the non-holding areas of I/O memory according to the status of the
IOM Hold Bit. (See note 1.)
• Clear forced status according to the status of the Forced Status Hold Bit.
(See note 2.)
• Automatically transfer data from the Memory Cassette if one is mounted
and automatic transfer at startup is specified.
• Perform self-diagnosis (user memory check).
• Restore the user program. (See note 3.)
Note (1) The I/O memory is held or cleared according to the status of the IOM Host
Bit and the setting for IOM Hold Bit Status at Startup in the PLC Setup
(read only when power is turned ON).
Note When the mode is changed between PROGRAMMING mode and
RUN or MONITOR mode, I/O memory initialization is according to
the status of the IOM Hold Bit at that time.
(2) The forced status held or cleared according to the status of the Force Sta-
tus Hold Bit and the setting for Forced Status Hold Bit Status at Startup
in the PLC Setup (read only when power is turned ON).
Note When the mode is changed between PROGRAMMING mode and
RUN or MONITOR mode, forced status initialization is according to
the status of the Forced Status Hold Bit at that time.
(3) User program recovery is performed if online editing is performed but the
power supply to the PLC is turned OFF before the CPU Unit can complete
backup processing. The BKUP indicator will light during backup process-
ing.
