AIN Fixed Length Configuration
• Length Type: select fixed length based on the length of the ASCII string that will be sent to the
CPU port
• Port Number: must be DL260 port 2 (K2)
• Data Destination: specifies where the ASCII string will be placed in V–memory
• Fixed Length: specifies the length, in bytes, of the fixed length ASCII string the port will receive
• Inter–character Timeout: if the amount of time between incoming ASCII characters exceeds the set
time, the specified Timeout Error bit will be set. No data will be stored at the Data Destination
V–memory location. The bit will reset when the AIN instruction permissive bits are disabled. None
selection disables this feature.
• First Character Timeout: if the amount of time from when the AIN is enabled to the time the first
character is received exceeds the set time, the specified First Character Timeout bit will be set. The
bit will reset when the AIN instruction permissive bits are disabled. None selection disables this
feature.
• Byte Swap: swaps the high–byte and low–byte within each V–memory register of the Fixed Length
ASCII string. See the SWAPB instruction for details.
• Busy Bit: is ON while the AIN instruction is receiving ASCII data
• Complete Bit: is set once the ASCII data has been received for the specified fixed length and reset
when the AIN instruction permissive bits are disabled.
• Inter–character Timeout Error Bit: is set when the Character Timeout is exceed. See Character
Timeout explanation above.
• First Character Timeout Error Bit: is set when the First Character Timeout is exceed. See First
Character Timeout explanation above.
