Send and Receive ASCII Instructions

Topic: CL344

Description

To send and receive ASCII Instructions to and from external devices you must have at least one scan between the Success and the Enable signals. If less that one scan between signals data may be lost. Please refer to Timing Chart below.

Note: Port 1 on the CLICK Basic and Analog CPUs supports only the programming software and operator interfaces/HMI's.  It does not support the Receive and Send instructions in a running program. Port 1 on the CLICK Ethernet and CLICK PLUS CPUs is an Ethernet port.

 

Note: For the Com Port wiring info, please refer to the CLICK PLC Hardware Manual or CLICK PLUS PLC Hardware Manual.
