A data loss of the real-time clock is signaled via the system variable
device.persistentDataPowerMonitoring.rtcFailure = YES.
The system variable device.persistentDataPowerMonitoring.persistentDataState shows the
state of the non-volatile SIMOTION data after power-up.
Table 5-6
State of the non-volatile SIMOTION data after powering up (persistentDataState system
variable)
State Meaning
FROM_RAM (1) Non-volatile SIMOTION data in the SIMOTION device is used
FROM_FILE (2) Non-volatile SIMOTION data are restored from the backup file
FROM_BACKUP (3) Non-volatile SIMOTION data are restored from the backup copy of the backup
file
INVALID (4) Data in the non-volatile SIMOTION data and in the backup file / backup copy
of backup file is invalid or non-existent/deleted.
The SIMOTION device has copied the default settings to the non-volatile SI‐
MOTION data and used this data to power up.
Requirement/availability of the battery
System variables can be used to evaluate:
●
Whether a battery is required for the operation of the device (or not)
● Whether a battery is available (or not)
SIMOTION D410-2 has no battery.

on the device
States Description
fanbattery of data type StructDeviceFanBattery (the system variables are of the data type EnumFanBattery)
.batterynecessary MANDATORY Battery is required for the backup of the non-volatile data and the real-time clock
(RTC) of the device. .batteryexisting can
be used to query whether a battery is
installed.
OPTIONAL The non-volatile data and the real-time clock (RTC) are backed up via Super‐
Cap.
A battery can be used as an option to extend the backup time. .batteryex‐
isting can be used to query whether a battery is installed.
Example: D4x5
OPTIONAL_RTC
1)
A battery is not required for backing up the non-volatile data.
Only the real-time clock (RTC) is backed up via SuperCap. A battery can be
used as an option to extend the backup time of the real-time clock. .batteryex‐
isting can be used to query whether a battery is installed.
Example: D4x5‑2
NOT_MANDATORY
1)
A battery is not required for backing up the non-volatile data. The real-time clock
(RTC) is backed up via SuperCap.
Example: D410-2
