[Table5.5] shows that desired HEX data can be received by setting the data type to Convert in Cnet when ASCII
code is transmitted by the correspondent device. If None is selected, ASCII code is directly sent to PLC as
received. In case of communication in character data, receiving of character data is available if the data type
‘None’ is selected.
Input the right data area as described below after setting CONST and ARRAY in segment type.
If segment type is CONST, input fixed area of frame
If segment type is ARRAY transmission, set one of SD1, SD2, SD3 and SD4.
If segment type is ARRAY receiving, set one of RD1, RD2, RD3 and RD4.
Data size needs setting only for ARRAY up to 120 byte per segment. As max. length of one frame is limited to
256 byte, the total data length of 8 segments shall be set not more than 256 byte. The figure below describes for
the details.
1 frame : Max. 256 byte

[Figure 5.4] shows the frame edit screen where ASCII data ‘00WB’ of CONST type is input in segment 1 and
CONVERT is set to ARRAY type in segment 2 in accordance with the setting method above.
