Great news! The CPU374 will start shipping this week.
One thing that should take into consideration is the
external battery. As documented the
built-in battery in CPU374 will last for 1.2 months during power down. We would strongly suggest that for any
oversea project that requires more than 1-month shipping/delivery, to order the
IC693ACC302 extended battery pack for back up of continuous power loss. Also remember that the high capacity power
supplies are also required.
IC693ACC302 - High Capacity Battery Backup to
Protects Uptime
When memory is corrupted during a power outage or scheduled
shutdown from a depleted battery, labor costs, lost data and machine downtime
are all factors to consider. Currently, the Series 90-30 battery protects for
six months of continuous power loss. But, a new Auxiliary Battery Pack
(IC693ACC302) will enable CPUs to go up to 75 months (shelf life of 10 years)
of RAM memory backup with no power. The new battery pack reduces the risk of
lost data and program.
The battery pack, with two lithium cells, is an externally
mounted sealed enclosure with a two-foot cable. The cable can easily be
attached to any Series 90-30 power supply or Series 90-70 CPU
