Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or ideas on a solution to be able to print to a "receipt" style POS printer from a PV Plus or Control Logix system?
I know the new PV Plus 6 systems support a bunch of plug and play USB printers as listed here:
http://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/111636/kw/111636
The customer specifically wants a robust POS receipt style printer though.
The application will be for truck drivers to do a CIP wash after unloading dairy product.
Most of the logic for the CIP wash is already there. I just have to add an interface for the drivers to be able to select a wash type, then be able to generate an invoice/receipt once the wash is completed with a few details like wash type, time, cost, etc.
I have found a printer that has a USB connection and has drivers for Windows CE, but I am not sure how I would integrate this on the Panelview, or if it would even work at all.

Any ideas?
