Hello,
I have a possible app where I need a 2D barcode reader that will provide a product target weight, min/max and part # to a PLC so it can control a scale and taping machine. I will have a HMI and probably a AB Compactlogix. I've never done a barcode system before so looking for hardware suggestions. Also, since I need an HMI, I considered using a Red Lion and connecting the barcode reader to it directly. I thought this might make interfacing to Allen Bradley easier- Just an idea though since I'm unfamiliar with these systems. Thanks for any advice.
