Let me start by saying I love reading through these forums, you guys are amazing!
I have been tasked with implementing PLC control for a printing a shipping label with a Zebra printer. The owner wants to maintain control of the labels and templates from a PC, as the labels change often, which is the easy part. Instead of the entire label parameters, I just want the PLC to send a simple ‘print command’ to print the label when a particular discreet input goes high (vision sensor detects box is filled). Does anyone have any experience with this? Thank you for your time and interest.
