Issue:
As Advanced Support Team to support PLC based Automatic Transfer Scheme (ATS)/MicroGrid Controller/Load Sharing Systems. There will be question about the replacement of the Batteries in PLC.
Product Line:
Modicon TSX Momentum PLCs
Modicon TSX Compact PLCs
Modicon TSX Premium PLCs
Modicon TSX Quantum PLCs
Modicon M340 PLCs
Modicon M580 PLCs
Cause:
Normally the battery on the PLC will last two to 5 years, and BAT Low (battery low) will show on the LED indication of CPU/Power Supply Module. If the battery isn't get replaced on time when BAT Low is observed, there is risk that the program will be lost. To find the proper battery replacement is critical for customer.
Resolution:
The following listed the Model number of the battery replacement for the popular PLC platforms from Schneider Electric.
a. Modicon TSX Momentum PLCs.
Model: 2/3 AA Lithium battery
Modicon TSX Momentum PLC has battery in their option modules:
i. 172 PNN 210 22 - one Modbus Plus™ communication port
ii. 172 PNN 260 22 - two redundant Modbus Plus communication ports
iii. 172 JNN 210 32 - one general-purpose serial communication port, RS 232 or RS 485 selectable
The model of the battery is 2/3 AA Lithium battery. The option adapter’s convenient side-door access allows for quick replacement of the single 2/3 AA Lithium battery
b. Modicon TSX Compact PLCs
Model: 1/2 AA Lithium battery
The battery is located on the front of the module and can be replaced without loss of data during operation.
Note*: The 258C/R central processing units correspond to Railroad Standard EN 50 155. They have an expanded temperature range, flash ROM for the user program on the CPU, so no battery is required
c. Modicon TSX Premium PLCs
Model Number: TSX PLP01 (1 battery) or TSX PLP101 (10 batteries)
The internal RAM is backed up by an optional battery (with a service life of 3 years). The battery is located in the power supply module.
d. Modicon TSX Quantum PLCs
Model: 990 XCP 980 00
The CPUs store the application program in battery-backed RAM. This battery is
located on the front of the module and can be replaced while the CPU is running.
To protect the application program from inadvertent changes during operation, the
processors feature a memory-protect slide switch. An LED goes on when this switch
is activated.
e. Modicon M340
Model: No battery is need for internal program backup.
f. Modicon M580
Model: No battery is needed
The internal application RAM of Modicon M580 processors stores and executes the application program. This RAM has no battery backup, which means data could be lost in the event of a power brake. To avoid data loss, the application can be backed up in the persistent memory. The internal memory provides a maximum capacity of 16 MB for memory program, 2,048 KB for data, and 4 GB for data storage.
g. Note for Modicon TSX Premium PLCs and Modicon TSX Quantum
For some of Modicon TSX Premium/Quantum CPUs, you could add Memory card (other than the internal RAM) to store application data, those memory card has their own batteries. And they are:
Main battery Model: TSX BAT M02
Auxiliary Battery Model: TSX BAT M03
auxiliary battery, provides backup so that the main battery can replaced without data being lost.
