20-26 ASCII Instructions
Example
Error Conditions
The following conditions cause the controller to set the ASCII 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.
•
Index value is greater than Source string length.
The destination is not changed in any of the above 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).
ASR - ASCII String
Compare
Instruction Type: input
Use the ASR instruction to compare two ASCII strings. The controller
looks for a match in length and upper/lower case characters. If two
strings are identical, the rung is true; if there are any differences, the rung
is false.

If input slot 1, bit 10 is set, search the string
in ST52:80 starting at the 36th character, for
the string found in ST38:40. In this example,
the position result is stored in N10:0.
