GT Designer 2 and key code

[pszczepan 2]

Hello ! I got some application for GT1020 and I have to fix sth. On one screen I have touch and key code. Could you write why it has value 2648. I am nor familiar with Mitsubishi. Thanks for any clue. thanks

That's a hexadecimal code for 2 characters. If you type regular characters in the box to the right, then click Conversion, it will tell you the ASCII code for that character.

I know they are 2 characters: 2648 - it is &H. What for designer could use this codes and if I use conversion I can just converse one character. f.e if I type &H I got 0026 regards

My guess is the program was written using foreign double byte characters like Japanese Kanji. They use 2 bytes to store a single character.

Assuming it is one character I would like to know aim of that. What for is sending character when the switch is pressed. What sequence I should find in PLC program to cooperate with such a key code. thank you

Look for commands in the PLC which are used to manipulate ASCII strings.
