Using Controllogix PLC and RSlogix5000 to scan in data over devicenet ascii module (1734-232ASC). Data scans in and displays correctly. I need to parse out each character of input data and convert to an integer, perform math, convert each integer back to ascii and assemble as a barcode for output. When I convert ascii to a String so it can be parsed with the MID instruction, the String data values make no sense to me. For instance ascii "0264" converts to a string of 80859704. What does this value represent? Is there a better way to hanle data manipulation like scan in as hex, convert to integer, perform math and convert to Ascii?
