2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 
(2) Data back-up of Motion CPU module by the battery 
Be sure to use the battery. 
• For Q173DSCPU/Q172DSCPU 
Set the battery (Q6BAT) to battery holder. 
• For Q173DCPU(-S1)/Q172DCPU(-S1) 
Set the battery (Q6BAT) to battery holder unit (Q170DBATC). 
The programs, parameters, motion devices(#), latch range devices and absolute 
position data of SRAM built-in Motion CPU module are not backed up without 
using the battery. 
In the following status, the backup time after power OFF is 3 minutes. 
• The battery connector/Q6BAT lead connector is disconnected. 
• The battery cable/lead wire of Q6BAT is broken.

(Note-1): The actual service value indicates the average value, and the guaranteed value indicates the minimum value. 
(Note-2): The power-on time ratio indicates the ratio of Multiple CPU system power-on time to one day (24 hours). 
(When the total power-on time is 17 hours and the total power-off time is 7 hours, the power-on time ratio is 70%.) 
(Note-3): The guaranteed value (MIN) ; equivalent to the total power failure time that is calculated based on the characteristics value of the 
memory (SRAM) supplied by the manufacturer and under the storage ambient temperature range of -25°C to 75°C (-13 to 
167°F) (operating ambient temperature of 0°C to 55°C (32 to 131°F)). 
(Note-4): The guaranteed value (TYP) ; equivalent to the total power failure time that is calculated based on the normal air-conditioned 
environment (40°C (104°F)). 
(Note-5): The actual service value (Reference value) ; equivalent to the total power failure time that is calculated based on the measured 
value and under the storage ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F). This value is intended for reference only, as it varies with 
characteristics of the memory. 
POINTS 
The self-discharge influences the life of battery without the connection to Motion 
CPU module. The external battery should be exchanged approximately every 4 or 
5 years. 
Exchange the battery with a new one in 4 to 5 years even if a total power failure 
time is guaranteed value or less.
