storage of date into the error history.
Remark
The Built-in Ethernet port QCPU can set the time in the module automatically
using the time setting function (SNTP client). (
(2) Clock operation at power OFF and momentary power failure
Clock operation is continued by the internal battery of the CPU module during power
OFF of the PLC or when a power failure longer than the permissible momentary
power failure time occurs.
