New page

The NVRAM driver allows a remanent behavior of ''S7-SoftPLC''.

The driver creates a file for the retain data. Depending on the capabilities of the used file system and the size of the parameterised values, the saving process will take some time, so that the process does not take place in real-time.

See "[[../NVRAM.htm#File_stystem|comment on file systems]]"

'''Settings in configuration file PLC43.INI'''

To activate the driver, the entry DLLn=NVRAMDLL.dll in section [OEM] must be made.

The driver expects the section [IBHNVRAM] where further parameters are defined.
