Have been experimenting with connecting a sick barcode scanner to a micrologix 1400 plc and been able to successfully read the barcode into a ST register. Now the problem is that the system that I am working on is using a maples display and it does not support the string registers. I called Maples and they said that I would need to copy it to a N register. Well, that does not work, i get error message in the plc when i tried to verify the project. Is there a way to do this. For example in the PLC after reading the barcode into ST17:13 it contains the barcode 074200149265, how can i move or copy this into a N register and then display it. At the moment, got me stumped. I told the manager lets take it out and put in a AB panelview, but the maples is already in the machine. Thanks
