Micro800 Make Outputs Retentive and How Power up Affects

- Outputs on Allen Bradley's Micro800 line of PLCs are not retentive by default. That means the the Micro810, Micro820, Micro850, and Micro870 PLC outputs to not remember their last state when they lose power. In this video we show you how to make them retentive in Rockwell Automation's Connected Components Workbench software and how prescan conditions of the OTE can still prevent these outputs from retaining their values.

Hi Tim it's Tim... Hey I bought a 2080-LC50-24AWB... I have the standard software of CCW. I noticed while doing this program that i do not have the retained column in my local variables. Could you tell me why? Do i need the developers version of CCW? and if you don't mind what is the difference between standard and developers version?
Hi Tim. You had me stumped for a moment! In the Micro850, all user created variables are retained during a power cycle. So it is at if the check boxes are all checked. Just so you can see that it would be there in the free version of CCW, change your PLC to a 2080-LC20-20QBB and the retain column will appear. They just hide it since the boxes can't be unchecked.
I have a video coming on the differences between the paid and free versions of CCW. There are minimal differences, most notably the paid version includes online editing.
@@TimWilborne Thank you Tim =)
I am having an issue in my Micro 830 where after a power failure it is not retaining my setpoints and I do not have the retain option. How do I fix this?
You need to create a tag for the Preset. It is a little confusing but check out this excerpt from the manual.
After a power cycle, all variables inside instances of instructions are cleared. Micro830 and Micro850 controllers retain all user-created variables. Micro810® and Micro820 controllers can only retain a maximum of 400 bytes of user-created variable values. Micro870 controllers can only retain a maximum of 128 kilobytes of user-created variable values.
For example: A user-created variable called My_Timer of Time data type will be retained after a power cycle but the elapsed time (ET) within a user-created timer TON instruction will be cleared. This means that after a power cycle, global variables are cleared or set to initial value, and depending on the controller, some or all user-created variable values are retained. You can choose which variables to retain by selecting them on the global variable page.
I find it amazing that you're asking the same question I had......within 18 hours of me......on a video that is 3 years OLD! =)
Thanks for this snippet of info!@@TimWilborne
I do have a user defined tag for the PT. Same with my setpoint that I have in my greater than instruction. I'm not sure if it's just the HMI not showing the setpoint after a power outage because I don't have a tag for the indicator tag, or if it is the PLC setting it back to 0 after a power outage. From what the manual is saying my controller should retain these values without having to do anything extra if I am reading it correctly. @@TimWilborne
I am not seeing your comment on this video. Please add any input on what you found out. Thanks.@@dmacJessy
So I need to click retain AND make it a set bit in order for it to stay on through power cycle?
Yes, if the PLC has the retained column.
Hi I can’t get my outputs to fire? Mocro820 I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Everything should be wired correctly but I’m not sure what’s happening
Might have a look at this video

Hi Tim.
Grate videos !
I have a suggestion to a new video 🙂.
How can the PLC remember values after a power cycle?
Calculated values. MOV values.?
Thx!
Great suggestion! As fare as remembering values, just follow the instructions in this video.
