Dear Lawry,
I have created a new project in VisiLogic V9.7.60 (last version, OS 4.0(32), Boot 2.2(23)) and filled approximately 700 operands with data, then update my VisiLogic version to V9.8 (official version, OS 4.2(10), Boot 2.2(23)), after a night without power to the PLC, all my operands were still stored.
Version update should not cause operands to be erased.
Was this behavior limited only to this project?
From which version did you updated from?
Can you please check SB8 (Battery Low 1=Low)?
