Does anyone happen to have access to the manual that cites the extended ASCII characters for the hex values 80, 81 and 82, in a micrologix 1500 LRP processor? The extended ASCII is platform specific. I only saw it listed in their online Knowledgebase.

I pay $750 annually for their stinking Direct Connect, but only M-F, 8-5, and something is wrong with my online account so I can't access the manual. And get this: They want $500 to have someone at tech support look it up after hours! Unbelievable!
