Energy Packs 

An Energy Pack is used in conjunction with a Controller to preserve user memory in the Controller during power 
fluctuations or outages. 
If system power is lost, the Energy Pack maintains power long enough for a Controller to write its user memory 
contents to non-volatile memory. When system power is restored, the user memory is restored if the Controller is 
configured to power up from RAM.
