I have a customer that sent me the email below, I have been trying to find an answers in the manuals but cant find much to help
He is using a Micro850 for the PLC and the part number he wants to display has numbers and letters, I did not ask how many characters
Thanks for the help if you can

I want to input a string on the Weintek HMI to identify a process by
part number(my string) and save this data on the PLC. Later when a
process is using this part I want to send this string data to the HMI
for display. The only input/output object I have found is the ASCII
object. When I select a variable which I set up in CCW as STRING and
exported/imported to the EASYBuilderPro it shows it as a CHAR data type
and allows only one word of data to be selected in address Settings in
number of elements. If I select a variable which I set up as an array
of STRINGs EBPro shows it as an array of CHAR and allows me to set up
the number of elements equal to my array size. Is this the way to get
an ASCII input by setting up an array of characters for each string?
