Getting Started with Your ASCII Module
Chapter 2
2Ć18
PLCĆ3 Processors
You will demonstrate the operation of your ASCII module by reading data
from the industrial terminal to the processor data table, and by writing
data from the data table to the industrial terminal. You will use your
industrial terminal as an ASCII device for entering data (read), and for
displaying data (write).
You will set up a test I/O chassis with a PC processor, power supply,
industrial terminal, cables, and your ASCII module. You will need about
an hour to complete the procedures in this chapter and about two hours to
complete the procedures in chapter 3.
You may want to record your application ladder diagram program before
proceeding because you will need to load ASCII logic into a cleared
memory for tutorial chapters 1 and 3 in this manual.
Equipment That You Need
You will need the following equipment (Table 1.C) using your existing
system and/or spare equipment.
