<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi,</p> <p>never used 'Ormec Smlc 160' so probably I would recommend to ask the<br/> manufacturer of this plc if there is a NVRAM inside this plc.<br/> This is needed to have the retain feature available.<br/> BR<br/> Edwin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello<br/> Writing a program to Ormec Smlc 160</p> <p>I have variables in "Retain" <br/> Variables like pump speed and temperature set points</p> <p>When I reset the PLC, all the values come back.<br/> Doing cold reset through codesys also same thing<br/> But when I power down (manually), the variables don't come back.</p> <p>Why is that?</p> <p>I've tried putting the variables in "Retain Persistent" and still the same thing.</p> <p>Under target settings I have checked load boot project automatically</p> <p>What else can I try?</p> <p>This is very important as I don't think the PLC will be able to recover from a power outage without an operator being present and certain pumps need to be on at all time</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</p></div>
