CIP Client Messaging
CIP Generic and CIP Symbolic messages are supported on Micro800 controllers
through the Ethernet and serial ports. These client messaging features are enabled
by the MSG_CIPSYMBOLIC and MSG_CIPGENERIC function blocks.

ASCII
ASCII provides connection to other ASCII devices, such as bar code readers,
weigh scales, serial printers, and other intelligent devices. You can use ASCII by
configuring the embedded or any plug-in serial RS232/RS485 port for the
ASCII driver. Refer to the Connected Components Workbench Online Help for
more information.
To configure the serial port for ASCII, see

CIP Communications
Pass-thru
The Micro830 and Micro850 controllers support pass-thru on any
communications port that supports Common Industrial Protocol (CIP).
Micro830 and Micro850 support a maximum of one hop. A hop is defined to be
an intermediate connection or communications link between two devices – in
Micro800, this is through EtherNet/IP or CIP Serial or CIP USB.
