Change between general devices and latched (battery backed) devices

1. When using latched (battery backed) type devices as non-latch type devices
In FX /FX PLCs, some latched (battery backed) type devices can be changed into non-latch type devices by the
3U 3UC
parameter settings.
Devices dedicated to latched type cannot be changed into non-latch type devices even by the parameter settings.
Such devices can be handled as non-latch type devices by clearing all latched (battery backed) type devices by the
initial pulse (M8002) in a program.
2. When using non-latch type devices as latched (battery backed) type devices
In FX /FX PLCs, non-latch type devices can be changed into latched (battery backed) type devices by the
3U 3UC
parameter settings.
In FX PLCs, non-latched type devices can be changed to latched (battery backed) type devices when the optional
3G
battery is installed and the battery mode is selected in the parameter setting.

How to initialize devices (battery backed)

Latched type devices can be initialized by clearing the entire PLC memory using peripheral equipment, clearing all
latched memory using the special auxiliary relay M8032, or executing the ZRST instruction.
This subsection describes two major methods.
1. M8032 (latch memory all clear)
When M8032 is turned ON, all latched type devices
M8032 can be turned ON and OFF using the forced ON/OFF operation from peripheral equipment or within the
sequence program. Note that latched type devices cannot be turned ON while M8032 is ON.
When turning ON M8032 within the sequence program, note that latched type devices are cleared during END
processing after M8032 is turned ON.
Program example: This program clears all latched type devices.

2. ZRST (FNC 40) instruction (zone reset)
The ZRST instruction can clear multiple devices all at once.
(Because only a limited device range can be specified for the ZRST instruction, only a part of the latched type devices
can be cleared at a time.)
Program example: This program clears latched (battery backed) type devices in the ranges shown in the table below
in FX /FX PLCs.
