About this Manual:
This manual describes the installation and operation of the C500-ASC04 ASCII Unit. The ASCII Unit can
be mounted to a C500, C1000H, C2000H, or CV-series PC to control ASCII data I/O through a BASIC
program stored in the ASCII Unit. The C500-ASC04 must be used with a PC that supports the I/O READ
and I/O WRITE instructions (READ(88) and WRIT(87) or READ(190) and WRIT(191)).
It has been assumed in the writing of this manual that the reader is already familiar with the hardware,
programming, and terminology of OMRON PC’s. If a review of this information is necessary, the reader
should refer to the appropriate OMRON PC manuals for assistance.
This manual contains the following sections. Please read this manual completely and be sure you under-
stand the information provide before attempting to install and operation the ASCII Unit.
Section 7 explains the external hardware of the ASCII Unit and how it connects to a PC system.
Section 8 explains the format of the PC memory area accessed by the ASCII Unit. This area is where the
ASCII Unit and the PC exchange data.
Section 9 explains how the ASCII Unit program and the PC program communicate as well as how to write,
load, save, and run an BASIC program for the ASCII Unit.
Section 10 presents the BASIC programming language used by the ASCII Unit. Since many of the BASIC
commands are nonstandard and peculiar to an ASCII Unit-PC system, it is recommended that even read-
ers already proficient in BASIC pay careful attention to this section.
Section 11 explains the assembly language programming environment and how it relates to the ASCII
Unit’s BASIC program. It also explains in detail how to write, edit, and run an assembly language program.
Section 12 presents programming examples that are meant to bring together all of the concepts pres-
ented in this manual. Most of the programs deal with data transfer and illustrate how the ASCII Unit and
the PC work together in various applications. Also in this section are several examples used to illustrate
the execution sequence of the hardware during execution of the ASCII Unit and PC programs.
Detailed technical information not immediately necessary for the understanding of a particular section
has been put into one of the seven appendices and should be used for reference when needed. For a list
of the appendices, see the table of contents.
Note
In this manual, ladder diagram instructions are given by mnemonics with the function codes in
parentheses following them. The first function code is for C-series PCs and the second function
code is for CV-series PCs. For example, in MOV(21/030) (the MOVE instruction), the function
code for C-series PCs is 21; for CV-series PCs, 030.
WARNING
Failure to read and understand the information provided in this manual may result in
personal injury or death, damage to the product, or product failure. Please read each
section in its entirety and be sure you understand the information provided in the section
and related sections before attempting any of the procedures or operations given.
