Hello,
I'm setting up a PLC rig at work which consists of a number of different hardware, I/O, AS-i and now scanners.
I have connected a Datalogic CBX500 box with external Datalogic scanner head via profibus to a CPU-317. All the hardware configuration is fine and set up on Simatic Manager however I would like help with the code within Simatic. I want to be able to gather the information scanned from barcodes into a Data Block? I have also included two photocells, one to trigger the scanner to read and one addressed through the AS-i to transfer data, not sure if i can get away with not having these?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
SC
