No card in the slot at all, it runs from internal memory. And if it was the backup would it not lose the counter overnight as well? Overnight is the b...

RE: Parts per minute goes to a huge number at power-up, divide by zero on an S7-1500

Working now. The cause was nothing to do with the controller, it was a Real divide by 0.0 handing the panel positive infinity, which is a real value s...
