Hi Everyone,
I have a 1769-ASCII card that i am hooking up 2 bar code scanners too. I have a third one hooked up to the RS232 port on the PLC and have that reading in data fine.
I am completely lost when it comes to reading the data from the card though. I added the 1769-ASCII card and setup up the comm ports to the same settings i have it as for the local RS232 port. It creates a whole bunch of tags for me, i figured when i scanned something it would populate something in those tags and i could go from there.
I have the scanner plugged in the local port, scan a bar code, read the data and then move the scanner into the port on the ASCII card and scan the same barcode and i dont get any data.
Any help on this, example programs or anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
