Using Real-Time Clock and Memory Modules

The MicroLogix 1400 controller has a built-in real-time clock (RTC). You can
order a memory module as an accessory.

One type of memory module is available for use with the MicroLogix 1400
controller.

Real-Time Clock Operation

Operation at Power-up and Entering a Run or Test Mode

At power-up and when the controller enters a run or test mode, the values (date,
time and status) of the RTC are written to the RTC Function File in the
controller.

The following table indicates the accuracy of the RTC for various temperatures.

Writing Data to the Real-Time Clock

When valid data is sent to the real-time clock from the programming device or
another controller, the new values take effect immediately.

The real-time clock does not allow you to load or store invalid date or time data.
