Hi
This is a conveyor belt , barcode project. We use a slc 505, linux box, MySql and C/C++. I have scanners at specified points in the conveyor. When a box passes thru it, the scanner sends a message to the pc. This goes thru an ethernet port and has to be read using c to a MySql database to store the barcodes. Based on whether the previous box has exited the system, the pc has to send a signal to the plc which has to control the conveyor and the divertor to exit the box out of the system.
I would like to know if it is ok to use C or if there is any other free tool which can read the data in the sockets and store it in the MySql server. Also if any links about this with examples can be provided it will be very helpful.
Thanks a lot
