Table 3-7 System variable batterynecessary/batteryexisting
System variable
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 retain data and
the real-time clock (RTC) of the device. .batteryexisting
can be used to query whether a battery is installed.
OPTIONAL The retain data and the real-time clock (RTC) are
backed up via SuperCap. A battery can be used as an
option to extend the backup time. .batteryexisting can
be used to query whether a battery is installed.
Example: D4x5
OPTIONAL_RTC
1)
A battery is not required for the backup of the retain 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. .batteryexisting
can be used to query whether a battery is installed.
Example: D4x5‑2
NOT_MANDATORY
1)
A battery is not required for the backup of the retain data.
The real-time clock (RTC) is backed up via SuperCap.
Example: D410
.batteryexisting EXISTING EXISTING is only displayed when .batterynecessary is
set to:
●
MANDATORY or
● OPTIONAL or
● OPTIONAL_RTC
and a battery is installed.
NOT_EXISTING Battery is not installed
1)
If the SuperCap is discharged, the contents of the real-time clock (RTC) are lost
Requirement for/presence of a fan (as of V4.2)
System variables can be used to evaluate:
●
Whether a fan is required for the operation of the device (or not)
● Whether a fan is installed (or not)
