Program Example for the ASCII Driver

In this section, the structure of a PLC program for the ASCII driver is explained.
Example:
The program generates a message list for output on the DR 211 printer. It automatically initiates a
printout in 2-second intervals.
Proceed as follows:
Connect the DR 211 printer to SI2 of the S5-95U via the respective cable ( Figure 4-4).
Switch on the printer and set the printer parameters in the menu at the printer.
Only the printer parameter blocks in which you must change the default parameters are represented
