Description

The FRAM-RTC-0/256 module has a set of 2x5 header pins which are to be plugged into the "CONN1" connector on the PLC. A nylon standoff is included to provide the support on the right side of the FRAM-RTC board. If there is a matching hole on the PLC the standoff will provide additional grip on the FRAM-RTC board. If not, simply trim the end of the standoff to provide a support to the FRAM-RTC.

*Only works on Nano-10/FMD Series PLCs*

Although there is an internal RTC on FMD/Nano-10 PLCs, it loses its content when the PLC is powered OFF and you will need to set the RTC when the PLC is powered ON again. On the FRAMRTC the clock is maintained by the 3V lithium cell battery and will run continously even when power OFF. Nano-10 CPU automatically detects the presence of FRAM-RTC-0/256 and will load its internal RTC with the time and date from the module upon power ON.

Ease of Use

  • No programming or software installation
  • Simple plug connection
  • Uses available header on FMD and Nano-10 PLCs
