In order to use the PLC in the best condition and maintain the system to operate properly, it is necessary to conduct
daily and periodic inspections.
5.1
Daily and Periodic Inspection
(1) Daily inspection
Verify the following items while the system is running.

Refer to chapter 3.
*1 If power off time is more than 1 week after battery error detected (ERR LED blinking), retain data and realtime clock
data could be lost due to battery empty. If power off time is long enough, it is possible that a battery becomes empty
while this power failure. In that case, retain data and realtime clock data would be already lost in the next power up.
(2) Periodic inspection
Turn off the power for the external I/O circuit, and check the following items once every six months.
