5-3-48 CONVERT TO MODBUS-ASCII COMMAND: 28 05
When this command is sent to a serial port on a Serial Communications Unit
or Board (Ver. 1.2 or later), the Serial Communications Unit/Board removes
the FINS header and sends the enclosed Modbus-ASCII command.
With this command, OMRON components connected to a PLC through Mod-
bus-ASCII communications can be accessed from a PLC or PT by sending a
FINS message containing a Modbus-ASCII command.
