When changing the Battery of Vision PLCs, it is recomended to first back up the operand data.

The PLC may hold the operands for a few seconds when removing the Battery.

We always recommend backing up the operands when battery is low before changing the battery.

This will back up all operands including System operands.

To do so please:

  • Step 1

    Open Unitronics  Remote Access PC utility and go to Tools>Operand Access

    Go to Communication menu>Read All Values From PLC and save it as Excel file when requested.

    Step 4

  • In Unitronics  Remote Access PC utility - go to Tools>Operand Access>File menu>Import All values from Excel.
