ascii string from micrologix

[gbeaker]

Can someone point me in the right direction to send an ascii string via channel 2?

I think I want the AWT command but is there any special formatting or handshaking that needs to be done?

"...channel 2..."...Are you using a MicroLogix 1400?

Are you connecting to an RS-232 or RS-485 device(s)?

If you have a TechConnect Contract then have a look at the example programs attached to the following technote...

50011 - ASCII MicroLogix and SLC examples to Read and Write
Access Level: TechConnect

MicroLogix 1400 examples are at the bottom of the list.

Regards,
George

Unfortunately I do not have a techconnect contract. Can someone share the sample code with me?

I have used it with the AWA instruction... on a micrologix 1400

George,
What are the forum or AB rules regarding posting stuff form the KB that require a Tech Connect to view? Is it allowed or discouraged?

jmsmoreira,
That was not meant for your. I was thinking of posting the whole code as I have a tech connect contract but thought I would ask before I do. You can post your own stuff till the cows come home. I just didn't want to violate any rules of the forum.

Sorry If I caused any issues!!

Bullzi,

Well, I'm not a Moderator here, and I do not know nor set the rules specific to your concern, but I always "feel" that the safest bet is not to directly copy/paste any intellectual property that is locked under TechConnect. It's not so much for fear of personal reprisals, but more in thinking of Phil.

I honestly do not think that anyone of importance from Rockwell, reading this Forum (if they ever do?), would take exception to the tidbits we trickle out from the Knowledgebase, locked or otherwise. However, if they "were" to see whole articles or "not for free" Sample Code being posted up in a wholesale fashion, then maybe, just maybe, some one, some day, may take exception and tackle Phil over it.

It's probably an outside bet, but for me, and out of respect for the Forum and it's Administrator, I just do not do it.

Some "people" do find ways, however, to circumvent such "obstacles". A "PM" or "email" would spring to "some" minds, but I didn't just say that out load.

...In fact, I'm not even here. I've just left for home...
