Chapter 3 Start Using the Controller
1756-BATM Battery Module and Battery Life
Use the 1756-BATM battery module with any 1756-L6x/A controller. The
battery module is highly recommended for higher-memory controllers.
When the 1756-BATA battery within the 1756-BATM module is approximately
50% discharged, these low-battery warnings are indicated:
• The BAT is solid red.
• A minor fault (type 10, code 10) is logged.
