Message Options
Message Format
Select ASCII or Binary from the drop-down list.
•
ASCII - Select to transmit an ASCII barcode message (as defined by the Message Type). The
only difference is that the Header and Trailer are omitted from the barcode messages
transmitted using EtherNet/IP. When ASCII messages are in use, the Byte Swap ASCII Data
selection will swap the high and low byte of data within each 16 bit word. This is useful for
processing data on some Programmable Controllers.
•
Binary - Select to convert barcode data to a “numeric value” and transferred as a 32 bit
word. The user can specify the byte ordering of this word. If any non-numeric (not ASCII ‘0’ to
‘9’ or leading or trailing space) characters are contained in the barcode, the numeric value is
zero.
ASCII Message Byte Swap
Select the check box to enable the function. Available when Binary is selected from the
Message Format drop-down list. When ASCII messages are in use, the ASCII Message Byte
Swap selection will swap the high and low byte of data within each 16 bit word. This is useful
for processing data on some Programmable Controllers.
Binary Message Byte Order
If you have selected a Binary Message Format, you will need to click this drop-down and select
the Little Endian or Bif Endian for the correct Byte Order.
•Little Endian: little-endian system stores the least-significant byte at the smallest address.
•Big Endian: big-endian system stores the most significant byte of a word at the smallest
memory address and the least significant byte at the largest.
