4.3.4 
Retentivity 
The switching states, counter and time values of many SFs (see the "Special functions list - 
SF  (Page 156)" topic) can be set retentive. This means that current data values are retained 
after a power failure, and that the block resumes operation at the break point. The timer is 
not reset, but resumes operation until the time-to-go has expired, for example.   
To enable this response, however, the relevant functions must be set retentive. Two options 
are available: 
R: The data is retained. 
/: Current data is not retained (default). See the section in topic "Second circuit program 
(Page 100)" on enabling and disabling retentivity. 
The hours counter, weekly timer, yearly timer and PI controller are always retentive.  
4.3.5 
Parameter protection 
In the parameter protection settings, you can determine whether or not the parameters can 
be displayed and edited in LOGO! parameter assignment mode. Two options are available:   
+: The parameter attribute permits read/write access in parameter assignment mode 
(default). 
-: The parameter settings are read–/write–protected in parameter assignment mode, and can 
be edited only in programming mode. See the parameter protection mode example in the 
 
 
Note 
Parameter protection covers only the "Set Param" window. If you embed variables of 
protected special functions in a message text, the variables are still editable from the 
message text. To protect these variables, you must also activate the protection of the 
message text.
