Uninstalled PyCharm IDE, RIDE, Robot Framework and libraries.
Reinstalled PyCharm IDE and Robot Framework. I am not using VENV, and using the base python interrupter for the project.
Installed the serial library using the PyCharm project’s terminal window.
PS C:\Development\robot-scripts\pythonProject\IOT> pip install robotframework-seriallibrary

Project’s test file does not indicate an issue with the *** Settings *** Library SerialLibrary encoding=ascii statement
When I run it from the command line I get this
