I have 2 elastic search nodes,

1. Elastic search NODE 1 ( version 6.5.1 )

2. Elastic search NODE 2 ( version 7.0.1 )  
I am able to insert ASCII value in index in Elastic search NODE 1 but getting error while inserting to index in Elastic search NODE 2.

Not sure of what exactly is your problem, but it sounds like you are not using `UTF-8` character encoding to send your data. You probably need to do that.  
Then to remove/replace non-ascii characters, you can look at asciifolding token filter. But first, solve the initial problem with character encoding.
