GFK-1084B Chapter 3 Programming Communications Requests

Note

The Program Name (words 52 - 55) and Program Block Name (words

56 - 59) must have each pair of ASCII characters reversed within the PLC

memory. For example, the name “MARY” (“M” = 4dH, “A” = 41H,

“R” = 52H, “Y” = 59H) would have 414dH in the first word and 5952H

in the second word.
