Automatically Saving the Data from the Bit Memory (M) Area When the CPU
Loses Power
If the first 14 bytes of M memory (MB0 to MB13) are configured to be retentive,
they are permanently saved to the EEPROM when the CPU loses power. As
shown in Figure 5-14, the CPU moves these retentive areas of M memory to the
EEPROM. In STEP 7-Micro/WIN 32, the default setting is set to off.
