Hi, I have been using Idec PLCs and HMIs for a few years now to control sites where there are a number of security gates/bollards/barriers that need interlinking. All previous screens have used either password protection or activation from a master screen in a secure area some distance away.
However we have been asked if we can use a biometric reader with the screen to secure access. I am waiting for Moeller to get back to me about using their HMI screens as they run on Windows CE and have a USB port.
Does anyone else have any experience of this? I want something that uses manufacturers software to setup the O/I, to reduce development time, but will allow deviced such as biometrics to be used.
Cheers.
