8.1 ASCII Functional Overview
You can use the ASCII protocol in the PLX3x gateway to interface many different
protocols into the Rockwell Automation family of processors, or other software-
based solutions. The ASCII driver permits the gateway to interface any ASCII
device to the many protocols and networks available. ASCII devices include
barcode scanners, weigh scales, many field instruments, printers, and terminals.
The driver supports one to four ports that provide accessibility from one to four
independent serial networks. The number of ports depends on your specific
gateway model.
The following illustration shows the functionality of the ASCII protocol:
