CRC Computation in PLC

[Autom8n 0]

I'm working on a project where I need to compute a CRC value for a group of bytes recieved from a serial device. The serial device sends the CRC value as a part of the string. I need to compute the CRC in the PLC and compare to the recieved CRC for a pass/fail signal. The protocol uses CRC16-CCITT to compute the CRC. I'm using an Allen-Bradley Compactlogix PLC to recieve the data. Any information that would help will be appreciated!!!

Can you use BCC its alittle bit easier to compute?

There is a Modbus logic routine in the RSLogix 5000 Samples folder. It has a functional (though not well documented) CRC routine in it. You need to know the polynomial being used and the seed value (usually 0000 or FFFF). The "CCITT-CRC16" description might include those pieces of information.

Ken, I could not find the Modbus example. What is the title? Thanks!!
