"The PLC or a PC can send data over COM port either binary or as ASCII. I think you are sending ASCII.
It means, F1 00 36 10 10 01 47 is sent as a string of ASCII bytes, not binary bytes. In ASCII, the value 00 for example is sent as two binary bytes 30 30, so the number of bytes in the message actually doubles"<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245); "> Anyone know how to do that in UNITRONICS.? how to send data in binary form in UNITRONICS.?<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245); "><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245); "> thank you very much<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245); "> DAntty
