Chapter 3 I/O Memory Mapping
The bits are defined as follows:
• Tx = Transmit.
• Rx = Receive.
• CNI = Channel number of requested input data. This bit is set by the PLC 
controller or other user program to tell the ASCII module which data to 
produce.
• CNO = Channel number of the output data being sent. This bit is set by 
the PLC controller or other user program to tell the ASCII module which 
port’s data is being sent to the ASCII module.
• Reserved bits should be set to 0.
