I have a Keyence SR650 barcode reader hooked up to a ML1400 plc using Ethernet. I can successfully send commands and am reading the read data from it into an A21(ascii) file using message commands. I can see the scanned characters from the barcode in the file as long as it's displayed in ascii format. I want to take these characters and convert them to a string but none of the ascii commands seem to do the job. Anybody have any suggestions ?
