Introduction It is possible to display ASCII data by simply using the ASCII display object. ASCII data is stored in Mitsubishi PLC data registers as bytes, thus two ASCII characters can be saved in one data register. Or to put it another way, it is possible to display...

Introduction Parameter settings in an inverter and some setting values in a PLC are often expressed as whole integer values representing increments of 0.1 or 0.01. For example, 100 in an inverter parameter represents 10.0 units of measurement. The issue is how to...
