Hi all,
I need to read bar code scanner and process the info. in compactlogics PLC. Our customer is using a Honeywell 3800g barcode reader. The process is,
The operator scans the Work order using the scanner with Ascii data output format.
I need to transfer this information to the PLC and lookup part number and associated process parameters in the PLC. I will be setting up a recipe table for various parts for this.
I have not interfaced /programmed a barcode reader in the past. Could some one give some tips on diff. ways of achieving this and what are the hardware/s/w requirements. I will be using a touch screen on Ethernet on this cell.
Thanks,
