Hello All,
I'm basically trying to get barcode numbers into my Micro850. I have the barcode working, plugged it into a computer and can view it on Hyperterminal. Next stage is getting it into the PLC. I've included a photo of our Micro850s. I think (and hope) there are two ways to get serial communication into the PLC. The first way is through the serial cable shown and the second would be getting a plug-in serial module which we dont have. My plan is to connect the barcode to the serial cable shown and hopefully access the data through connected components workbench. Is this possible or does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for any assistance.
