Serial Communications Section 6-3
For example, simple (non-protocol) communications can be used to input data
from a barcode reader or output data to a printer.
The following table lists the no-protocol communication functions supported
by CP1L PLCs.
CP1L CPU Unit
TXD(236) or RXD(235)
Sending/receiving data
RS-232C or RS422A/485
Standard device with
serial communications
(e.g., barcode reader)
Transfer direction Method Max.

(The amount of data to
receive is specified
between 1 and 256 bytes
when no end code is speci-
fied.)
