Hello,
We want to stock a CORE as a backup for a project. Complete with PLC program and licenses. Is there an advised limit to how long the core can sit unused in stock with no power connected and still be used reliably after that?
Best regards
time limit for storing CORE in stock?

Hello,
if the CORE is on stock, PLC project and licences remain stored on the device.
The battery will wear out slwoly. When the battery is empty, the clock (time) is lost and the certificates are lost.
That means, after a long time on stock: "check the battery, maybee replace it (otherwise the CORE light pipe will be yellow) and set the time again".
The rest PLC, licences, etc... is still there!
It is recommanded to change the battery every three years.
