Functionality
The block saves a →retentive memory area to persistent storage. The name of the memory area is entered at input NAME
.
By default, the appropriate file is saved to the subdirectory PLC
of the Neuron RTS max installation directory. If you prefer that a different directory is used, contact your system integrator and ask to change the configuration of the system service.

See:
-
"Blocks for safe logic" whether this block is supported for developing safety-relevant applications.
-
"Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor" for the effects when using the block as a block for safe logic.
Internal error diagnostic for block
The block checks the following error cases:
-
The target system is out of memory.
-
The data type of the variable to which the call has been assigned does not match the data type of the memory area.
-
The RTSSMem system service has not been loaded.
In such an error case, the output ENO
of the block is set to value FALSE
(or an equivalent).
Example for usage within ST-editor
The values of the variables that are declared in the section VAR RETAIN ... END_VAR
are loaded in the initial state (= init state) and saved in the term state by using the RTSCycleInfo
block.
Best to see the RTSCycleInfo block to find out at which moments the initial cycle and the term cycle respectively are executed.
