Behavior of S7-300 after module replacement
After module replacement the CPU switches to run mode, provided no error has
occurred. If the CPU maintains STOP status, you can view the cause of error with
STEP 7 (refer to the STEP 7 User Manual).
9.5 Replacing the backup/rechargeable battery (not CPU 312 IFM

Replacing the backup battery or the rechargeable battery
Always replace the backup/rechargeable battery in POWER ON state of the CPU,
in order to avoid data loss in internal memory or stopping the real-time clock.
