I just mentioned the internal battery backup chips because they caused an Anilam Crusader controller to fail at a place where I worked. I figured the problem out after the mill had been used only manually for 2 years. Replaced the chips with new ones and the controller worked again
They do appear to be eeproms, but their construction is that of a battery backed up static ram.
Anyway, thought I'd mention it. Check the chip ID carefully against datasheets to make sure, if you can.

Holy Cow!
That is tractor. Are you mooving in?
Does it has a chiller for coolant and machine temperature stabilization?
Even floor has to over 15 cm with two layers of rebar!

Fortunately a highly professional moving team shifted it - they were delivering a replacement machine to the people I bought it from and had to shift it anyway, they just put it at my place rather than their warehouse. Huge articulated lorry carrying 10 ton forklift and two very helpful and skilled chaps.
As far as I can tell the air conditioner just keeps the electronics cool, but I've yet to open all the access hatches to have a look see.
The floor is 6" of C35 high strength concrete with weld mesh embedded floating on 50mm of polystyrene insulation and hasn't moved with all the abuse I've given it in the last five years so far!
PekkaNF:
You are set then.
Local building authority here would have a field day if I lugged into my garage anything of that nature. But I only have 400VAC/25A (Wires, feed and gear made for 63A) threephase.
Is that only a "new hobby" or you are going seriously into production?

...he...he 415V three phase at 160 amps per phase here with the 11kv to 415v transformer in my wife's vegetable plot ! AND the nearest neighbour is half a mile away.
Certainly not a business - I'm retired and don't want that sort of pressure any more- just having fun in my dotage :beer:
