SRAM buffer memory (optional)
In order for applications to store data following a power failure, motherboards with fieldbus
(PROFIBUS or PROFINET) feature battery-buffered SRAM. If the supply voltage fails for
more than 20 ms for the AC power supply or more than 5 ms for the DC power supply, then
you will be informed about this situation by the NAU signal.
At least 10 ms is available to copy the data to the buffered RAM. During this time, 128 Kb
can be saved with a full load and even more with a smaller configuration, in other words, a
lesser load. A maximum 2 MB memory window is displayed via a PCI address register. The
base address is initialized by the BIOS.
A corresponding function is implemented there for using the SRAM under WinAC RTX.
Note
If replacement of the
battery takes longer than 30 seconds, the data saved in the CMOS
RAM and in the buffered SRAM is lost.
Note
The buffer memory SRAM is available only with devices with PROFIBUS or PROFINET
interfaces.
