Product Description for Siemens 6ES7971‑0BA00 Backup Battery
1. Product Overview
2. Main Functions
- RAM Data Preservation
It supplies power to CPU internal RAM after mains power is cut‑off. Program parameters, production set‑values, fault records and runtime variables can be stored safely.
- Real‑Time Clock Maintenance
It keeps the system real‑time clock running normally during power‑failure periods so that time stamps for alarms and historical data remain accurate.
- Low‑Battery Monitoring
The power‑supply module continuously detects battery voltage. If the battery capacity declines below threshold value, PS module triggers LED warning and sends diagnostic messages to S7‑400 CPU for timely replacement.
- Short‑circuit Protection
Built‑in safety circuit prevents short‑circuit current outflow to avoid damage to PS‑400 internal circuits.
- Easy Replacement Design
Users can change the battery while the PLC system is powered‑on, which avoids shutdown and production interruption during battery replacement.
- Compatibility Matching
This battery works with all standard PS405 and PS407 power‑supply units for central racks and expansion racks of S7‑400.
