2-1-3-1 Battery lifetime
The maximum lifetime of a battery is 5 years when the ambient temperature is
25°C. The lifetime of the battery is shorter when the ambient temperature is
higher. The lifetime of the battery is also shorter when there is no power supply
to the unit for long periods.
2-1-3-2 Low-battery indicator
If a low-battery error occurs, the ERC LED flashes, the BATTERY_LOW
parameter is ON , and bit 3 of status word n +2 is set (see section 3-3-1-2). If
this occurs, perform the following steps:
1 Check if the battery is installed correctly.
2 If the battery is installed correctly, replace it.
When a low-battery error occurs, the battery can continue to function for 5
days if the ambient temperature is 25°C and if power is supplied to the PLC
system at least one time per day. If the power is not turned off until the battery
is replaced, the battery failure and the resulting loss of RAM data can be
delayed.
If the ambient temperature is more than 25°C, the battery can only continue for
less than 5 days. If the ambient temperature is 40°C, the battery can continue
for 4 days. If the ambient temperature is 55°C, the battery can continue for 2
days.
