you want to transfer BCD digits, increase the number of initialization
words to four in IW1 and select the BCD delimiter in IW4.
In this demonstration, you will select the following:
Four initialization words using IW1(00-01)
Report generation mode using IW1(02-04)
4 BCD digits per word data conversion using IW2(14-16)
Slash symbol (/) as BCD delimiter using IW4(10-16)
1.
Set the bits in all four initialization words using the procedure in
section titled “Setting Bits in Initialization Words”, P. 3-30.
Display The initialization word file is displayed in hex and binary,
respectively, as follows:
RADIX = %H START = WO007:0000

NOTE:
Binary words 0 and 1 were omitted for brevity.
Next you will demonstrate the transfer of BCD digits to the data table and
observe how BCD digits are stored with ASCII characters when the data
string contains both.

Enter: ABCD/12324/56ABC[ENTER]
Use procedures in section titled “Reading Data From Your ASCII Device”
(chapter 1), if necessary.
Procedure P1
Connect the 1770CB cable, and set your industrial
terminal to alphanumeric mode (check parameters)
•
Initialize the module by changing PLC3 operation mode
