For plants requiring true high-availability CPU redundancy with automatic bumpless transfer, you should deploy higher-tier processing modules like the PM861A or PM864A along with matching redundant baseplates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ3: How long will the internal backup battery preserve the control application if main cabinet power is lost?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA3: When fully charged, the standard internal backup battery preserves memory contents and application code for up to several months under normal ambient temperatures. However, we recommend replacing the battery during scheduled yearly plant maintenance windows to prevent application loss during extended shutdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46021164695725,"sku":"3BSE018168R1","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/1613\/9181\/files\/PM851K01_1.jpg?v=1779182148","url":"https:\/\/www.maxwellplc.com\/products\/abb-pm851k01-3bse018168r1-ac-800m-controller-processor-module-kit","provider":"Maxwell PLC Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
