Issue
i2887/ b3887 Cool starts on Power failure
Environment
i2887, b3887
i2887-L-230, b3887-L-230
i2887-L-115, b3887-L-115
Cause
The i2887 and b3887 do not have a RAM battery backup.
Resolution
The i2/b3887 is one of the range of low cost i2/b3 controllers that does not have a RAM backup battery.
It has no concept of a Warm start that would save working values in the RAM. It does however have Flash Memory that allows the controller to save all of its points and programs. After a power outage these points / programs will be copied into RAM and start running from their first line (if they are Autostart) in what is called a Cool Start. Its ACCRestartMode mode will be ACCCoolStartOnly.
Other i2/b3 controllers that do have a RAM backup battery will allow the ACCRestartMode to be changed as required.
