It is sometimes necessary to perform a Reform Memory operation to clear
memory. This is often necessary after one of the following occurs:
the amount of RAM memory that can be used by PAL is changed in
AMP
a new PAL program has been sent to the control (downloading PAL
does not always make it necessary to format)
battery power was lost while the control was turned off (for 9/240)
After 5.5 days, the supercap capacitor, the optional battery, takes over.
This provides at least 6 months of continuous or intermittent backup (for
9/260-9/290)
You must format any time the control displays the error message
“MEMORY CRASH -- REFORMAT.”
This operation can also be performed when you want to delete all part
programs in control memory.
After a format operation is performed, it is not necessary to reinstall AMP
or PAL.
CAUTION: The {REFORM MEMORY} function erases all part
programs that are stored in control memory.
