Hello, quick question,

I have a PV600 2711-B6C2 and cant find the battery? does it have one, how does it backup its program?

Thanks for your help,

Jo

I don't believe the PV has a battery for the Application, its store in "flash memory" or a memory card (if installed)

There is a battery for the real time clock..see link.

The PanelView Standard user manual refers to the installation manual for battery replacement instructions. See here for the PV600:
https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/2711-in010_-en-p.pdf
Battery replacement instructions start on page 15.

the manual refers to a battery embedded in the RTC module but also refers to a battery that lets it retain some memory and presets. As far as I know, Mickey is correct that the application is stored in flash memory. If the battery dies, it just reverts to default values.

Actually, just read this and had a similar problem on the PV550.  Would hold program until power was removed, no indication on battery or anything. Upon power up, Autotest would get to step 32 and fault with Error on the bottom of the screen. Replaced battery and all was well with the world… ( so far)… 

Sorry for jumping on an old thread, but I’m a newb here and just hoping to save others my aggravation 🤬🤬🤬
