Abstract
A battery monitoring circuit in a programmable controller generates a logic signal when it senses a low output voltage from a memory back-up battery. A controller processor is programmed to set a fault status bit and store it in a memory with input/output status data. The fault status bit is output to an I/O interface rack together with input/output status data during an I/O scan routine. The fault status bit generates a logic signal to a fault indicating device on the I/O interface rack to signal an under-energized memory battery in the controller processor.
