Installation & Handling Guide

• Power OFF the TSX Micro PLC before installing or removing the memory module.
• Locate the dedicated memory expansion slot on the compatible TSX CPU or base unit.
• Align the module's connector with the slot and insert it firmly until it seats completely.
• Ensure the module is securely locked in place if a locking mechanism is present.
• Power on the PLC. The system should recognize the additional memory automatically.
• Configure the memory usage (program backup, data storage) in your PLC programming software.
• Handle the module by its edges to avoid static discharge to the electronic components.
• Note the installation date to monitor the battery's expected one-year lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the main purpose of this memory module?

It provides battery-backed RAM storage, allowing the PLC to retain its program and critical data (like recipes, counters, timers) through power outages or when the main PLC is swapped for maintenance.

• How is this different from a standard PCMCIA memory card?

This is a fixed, slot-mounted module with an integrated battery, designed for permanent installation and reliable data retention. A PCMCIA card is removable and may or may not have battery backup, often used for transfer or larger expansion.

• How do I know when the battery needs replacing?

The PLC system typically cannot monitor this specific module's battery. It is recommended to proactively replace the module after one year of service or if you experience data loss after a power cycle. Keep a log of the installation date.

• Can I use this module to increase the program execution speed?

No, this module is for data storage and backup only. It does not increase the PLC's processing speed or the size of the executable program memory. It holds the program and data safely when power is off.

• What happens if I install the module while the PLC is powered on?

Installing or removing memory modules on a live PLC can cause a hardware fault, corrupt the memory, or damage the module or PLC slot. Always follow the manufacturer's procedure and power down the controller first.
