I am trying to receive status off of a Powerware UPS by sending it an "F" or "Format" command which in turn will give me an 80 character string of info related to the status. I am trying to do this via the serial port on the SLC 5/05. Im not quite sure how to set this up in ladder. I do know how I have to set up my channel configuration but am just not sure how to send the message "F" or "Format" to get the string of info back. I believe Ive figured out what to do with the string once I have it to start pulling out the info I need. If anyone knows plese give up some tips.
