3-1-5 Battery
Because the CPU Unit is shipped with the battery not mounted, the Battery-related error detection is
set to Do not use by default.
The behavior of the CPU Unit when a battery-related error is detected depends on whether battery
error detection is used or not used as shown in the table below.
When the battery is not mounted, you can set the Battery-related error detection to Do not use to
suppress battery errors.
When the battery is mounted, however, you can set the Battery-related error detection to Use to
detect battery errors.
When you mount the battery, set the Battery-related error detection to Use.
Note that the measurement of clock data starts from January 1st, 1970 if the clock oscillator stops. If
this occurs, readjust the CPU Unit’s clock data to the current time.
Note also that, in order to use the clock data for programming, you need to use system-defined
variables to read the presence or absence of the Low Battery Voltage and Real-Time Clock Stopped
error events and confirm that the clock data is normal.
Refer to the Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504) for battery-related error
detection and clock data setting.
