4.10 Extension Register [R] and Extension File Register [ER]
Extension registers (R) are the extended form of data registers (D).
The contents of extension registers (R) can be stored in extension file registers (ER). In FX
3U/FX3UC PLCs, extension
file registers (ER) are available only while the memory cassette is attached.
4.10.1 Numbers of extension registers and extension file registers
The table below shows numbers of extension registers (R) and extension file registers (ER).
(Numbers are assigned in decimal.)
1. FX3U/FX3UC PLC
2. FX
3G PLCs
*1. Available only while a memory cassette is mounted (because they are stored in the flash memory inside a
memory cassette.)
*2. These registers can be changed to the latched (battery backed) type by the parameter setting when the
optional battery is used. However, the latched range cannot be set.
*3. These registers are stored in the EEPROM built in the PLC, or in the EEPROM in the memory cassette when
the memory cassette is attached.
4.10.2 Data storage destination and access method
Because the memory for storing data is different between extension registers and extension file registers, the access
method is different as shown in the table below:
