f4comex3.abm (F4-CP128-1)

(1) Read Setpoint data from PLC V-Mem SP High Integer = V1401 (0-9999) SP High Fractional = V1400 (0-999) SP Low Integer = V1403 (0-9999) SP Low Fractional = V1402 (0-999) NOTE: Setpoint Data Must be in BCD format

(2) Read Serial Data from Ohaus Lab Scale Connected to Port 2 Scale Data Format is:
1 2-7 8 9-11 12 13 14
+/- ##.### sp units ? CR LF
Scale is configured to send data once per second

(3) Compare Scale Data with Setpoint Data
If >High Set V1410=1
If >Low and <High Set V1410=2
If <Low Set V1410=3

(4) Repeat from Step 2

fc16wf2.abm (F2-CP128)

Print the decimal value of the ASCII code of each character of $(0) (read as string 0).

100 FOR X=1 TO LEN($(0))
105 PRINT1 ASC($(0),X),SPC(1),
110 NEXT X
115 PRINT1

To print the hex value of the ASCII code change line 105 to:

105 PRINT1 HEX$(ASC($(0),X),1), SPC(1),

Copy the ASCII code of each character of $(0) (read as string 0) to a numeric array element.

10 DIM CHAR(20)
20 $(0)="Test String"
30 FOR X=1 TO LEN($(0))
35 CHAR(X)=ASC($(0),X)
40 NEXT X
