Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How do I know if my Series 90-70 PLC needs this memory module?
If your PLC program is large or you need to store more data (like recipes or logs), and you see “memory full” errors in your programming software, this expansion module is the solution.
2. Can I install the module while the PLC is running?
This is called hot swapping. It is possible but carries risk. You must strictly follow the GE manual’s procedure. The safest method is to power down the entire PLC rack during installation.
3. The battery on my CPU is old. Will replacing it erase the memory on this expansion module?
Yes, it can. The memory module relies on the CPU’s battery. Always replace the CPU battery while the main system power is ON and stable. This keeps memory active during the swap.
4. We have a mix of program and data memory. Can this module be used for both?
Absolutely. The memory is unified. You configure how much is for the logic program and how much is for variable data storage within your Proficy Machine Edition (PME) project settings.
5. Is there a performance difference between the 128KB and 512KB version?
No. The access speed and performance are identical. The only difference is the storage capacity. Choose the size that fits your current and near-future application needs.
