Thanks, It will be a few days before I get back out to the facility to try this. I will let you know how it turns out. Bobby Osborne

Greetings All! I have a Q series plc with a QJ71C24 serial card connected to a Keyence LS-7600 Digital Micrometer. I need to compare the keyence read out to a constant to control a servo motor. The Keyence is sending 13.978 in ascii characters to the serial card and the buffer memory looks like this: BM00-1540- 13 BM00-1541- .9 BM00-1542- 78 My question is how do I get the ascii out of the buffer memory into a D register (or somewhere else) and in a format I can use? I tried DMOVP U0\G1540 D600 (using a clock bit to trigger) and it looks like I get a 32 bit integer but I don't know what to do with that number. When I try to use WORD or HEX I get a 4100 (I think) error on the plc. I looked at similar post on this site but they all seem to have the ascii number already in a D register and in a hex format. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bobby Osborne

Would that be EVAL U0\G1540 D600 or EVAL D600 D600?

I have XP on my laptop. When I try to either uninstall or install another version of RSLinx I get this error: Error 1316 a network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\WINDOWS\Installer\RSLinx.msi Anyone ever come across this error before? I cannot uninstall RSLinx using Add/Remove programs or if I try to install another version with a disk. Thanks

Fantastic! This worked just fine, thank you very much for the help Bobby Osborne

What if I don't have the original disk?
