1756-BA2 vrs 1756-BATA

3 posts in this topic

Hi Guys Does anyone know the ramifications of using a 1756-BATA (in a 1756-BATM unit) on an L61 series B processor as opposed to the 1756-BA2 that AB specifies for this processor?? Thanks

The plug won't fit, for one thing. Tech Support would probably shrug if you had a battery-related memory loss. It won't damage it, as they're all 3.3V lithium batteries. And the big battery should be able to keep the controller running for the time period needed to perform it's power-off save to NVRAM. Why you would use a BATM module instead of the battery that clips inside the controller door? Is there a serial cable that interferes with the battery holder ?

Thanks for the reply Ken. Excellent point re the plug, you are 100% correct they are different. I am in the process of building a control cabinet and I automatically allow for BATM's so it is already installed. This is the only reason I would have used it over the stock BA2. I will simply pull it out and use the BA2. Cheers
