Hi, I have an application where I am using a USB Barcode scanner connected to the MT8092XE, and I want to copy the scanned information into a string tag in the PLC. The scanner is working fine with the HMI. The issue is writing to the PLC tag. Using the data transfer function in Easybuilder I can move the Barcode data to an HMI tag or memory location, but it does not seem to work sending it to the PLC. When selecting the PLC tag the software will only allow SINT tags to be selected - Barcode_Scan.DATA[0] for example. When the transfer executes only every other character is written to the PLC tag so if the scanner read 1896859WO, the tag in the PLC gets 1980O. Any ideas on what is could be causing this would be greatly appreciated!
Best Regards,
John
