Third-Party Ascii Module for ML1400

[Ion 0]

Hello, I need to read a String bigger than 82 Characters and less than 200 Characters by CH1 (configured for Ascii) in ML1400 and am using the ARL instruction but I can't access beyond 82 Characters. I was wondering if there are some procedure to get access to read or retrieve the rest of the characters in buffer?. Other wise can you Please suggest me a third-party Ascii module compatible for the Micrologix 1400 1766-L32BXB. I'll appreciate your help Thanks in advance.

The 82 char restriction is in the data type file for AB. Seems to me the best you can do is do mulitple ARLs to seperate addresses in a string file. You would then probably need to parse and concatenate until you have the data you need.
