Description
Description
The Schneider 990XCP98000 is a dedicated lithium backup battery designed for the Modicon Quantum automation series. This component provides the necessary 3 V DC power to the CPU to ensure the retention of volatile RAM data, including user-defined logic, controller configurations, and real-time clock synchronization during power outages. By preventing the loss of critical program memory and timing data, this battery is essential for maintaining operational continuity and reducing recovery time in industrial control environments.
Features
- Designed specifically for compatibility with Modicon Quantum CPU modules.
- Utilizes high-density lithium-thionyl chloride chemistry for long-term reliability.
- Features a low self-discharge rate, supporting a service life of up to 10 years under standard operating conditions.
- Equipped with a pre-wired connector for straightforward installation into the CPU housing.
- Supports hot-swappable replacement, allowing for maintenance while the controller remains powered.
- Monitored by the CPU system, which triggers a dedicated BAT alarm when voltage levels fall below the operational threshold.
Applications
This backup battery is suitable for critical industrial automation environments, including:
- Petrochemical and oil refining infrastructure.
- Thermal and renewable power generation facilities.
- Large-scale water and wastewater treatment plants.
- Automated manufacturing and process control systems.
