Maintenance and Periodic Inspection

This PLC does not incorporate consumable parts that are factors in the reduction of service life.
However, the output relays (points of contact) and batteries (option) have a limited life expectancy.

14.4.1 Procedures for checking model name

The model name of the main unit can be checked on the nameplate on the right side. After extension devices
are connected, the nameplate cannot be seen. Check the model name in the following places.

2. Other devices
When inspecting the battery, check the following points.
• Check that the temperature in the panel is not abnormally increased by other heat generating bodies or
direct sunlight.
• Check that dust or conductive dust has not entered the panel.
• Check for loosening of wiring and other abnormalities.
3. Battery Replacement
When the battery voltage drops while the PLC power is on, the "ALM" LED on the panel is lit in red, and
M8005 and M8006 (latch) are turned on.
The memory can be retained for about one month after the lamps turn on. However, the operators may not
immediately find the lamps to be on. Prepare a new battery promptly, and replace the battery with the new
one.
Caution
Select the battery mode using a parameter when using the battery. If the battery mode is not selected, the
data is not backed up, and the "ALM" LED on the panel does not light.
