2.4.1 Smart Battery Operation
The battery output voltage is > 2.5 V when the battery is operating in its good state. At the end of the battery good
period, the battery output drops to <2.5 V for the battery low state. The period for the battery low state is 15 days
for all CPU models. Once battery output voltage drops to <2.5V, compatible PACSystems CPUs detect this as a
battery low condition; a Low Battery fault is logged in the Controller fault table and the red Battery LED on the CPU
starts blinking.
Once the low battery state is active, the user has 15 days of accumulative battery backed energy left for CPU RAM
retention during power loss. Since the low battery period may start while the PLC is powered down and faults
cannot be logged in this state, the low battery fault date is unlikely to indicate the starting point of the 15 day count
down. System power downs should not exceed 15 days as the battery voltage may drop to 0V, resulting in the loss
of CPU RAM memory contents.
Consider the following example:

The Battery Low period of 15 days starts at Point T1, but the low battery fault is logged at Point T2, when the
controller is powered ON. The user should be aware that the Low Battery fault timestamp does not indicate the
start of the 15 day Battery Low period.
