10.2.3 Internal relay (M)
(1) Definition
Internal relays are auxiliary relays used in the CPU module.
All internal relays are switched OFF at the following times:
• When the PLC is powered OFF and then ON.
• When the CPU module is reset.
• When latch clear operation is executed.(
(2) Latch execution of internal devices (backed up for power failure)
(a) For Basic model QCPU, High Performance model QCPU, Process CPU,
Universal model QCPU
The internal relays cannot be latched (backed up for power failure).
(b) For Redundant CPU
When the start mode is set to the hot start mode, the internal relays are latched
(backed up for power failure). When the start mode is set to the initial start mode,
the internal relays are not latched (backed up for power failure).
(3) Number of used N/O and N/C contacts
There are no restrictions on the number of contacts (N/O contacts, N/C contacts) used
in the program, provided the program capacity is not exceded.

No restrictions on the quantity used.
M0 switches ON at X0 OFF to ON.
The internal relay (M0) ON can only be used for
internal CPU module processing, and cannot be
output externally.
M0 ON/OFF information is output from the output
module to an external destination.
