20-20 ASCII Instructions
Instruction Operation
This instruction executes on a true rung.
The following conditions cause the controller to set the ASCII String
Manipulation Error bit (S:5/15):
•
Source string length is less than 1 or greater than 82
•
Index value is less than 1 or greater than 82
•
Number value is less than 1 or greater than 82
•
Index value greater than the length of the Source string
The Destination string is not changed in any of the above error
conditions. When the ASCII String Manipulation Error bit (S:5/15) is set,
the Invalid String Length Error (1F39H) is written to the Major Error Fault
Code word (S:6).

Lines
Instruction Type: output
The AHL instruction is used to set or reset the RS-232 Request to Send
(RTS) handshake control line for a modem. The controller uses the two
masks to determine whether to set or reset the RTS control line, or leave it
unchanged. The channel configuration must be set to ASCII.
