  1. Chapter 9PLC and System Maintenance PLC System Maintenance • PLC Hardware Maintenance • Visual Inspections • Energized PLC Maintenance • Battery Maintenance • PLC Software Maintenance • Equipment and Documentation Verification • Software and Program Verification

  2. The maintenance of a PLC must be carefully documented for future reference.

  3. PLC maintenance is performed after the application is stopped and a lockout/tagout is applied.

  4. PLC hardware maintenance is work performed by a technician that consists of a visual inspection of a PLC, energized maintenance procedures, and battery maintenance.

  5. A visual inspection of a PLC and PLC-related components is part of PLC hardware maintenance.

  6. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) must be used when performing energized maintenance on a PLC.

  7. Backup batteries for the CPU of a PLC can be behind the hinged door or cover of the CPU or mounted on the processor card.

  8. A PC, an interface cable, and sometimes an interface card are required to connect a PC to a PLC and use the PLC programming software.

  9. A documented program contains address descriptions, instruction comments, rung comments, and page titles.

  10. When connecting a PC to a PLC, the technician must be aware of certain technical issues and follow a series of steps.

  11. PLCs have electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) chips to provide a backup to RAM memory.

  12. After the machine or process is started, the PLC program must be copied to a separate medium and stored in a safe location.
