The easiest way to add industrial wired barcode scanning to Allen-Bradley PLCs. Save time, money and hassle with the ScanDr.
ScanDr. Package: Handheld Barcode Scanning for your Allen-Bradley PLC!
Congratulations! You’ve found the easiest way to add handheld barcode scanning to MicroLogix, ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, PLC-5, and SLC5/05 Allen-Bradley PLCs. The ScanDr. Is an all in one solution that provides everything you need to easily get barcode data into your A-B PLC application. If you don’t agree that the ScanDr. solution is the easiest and quickest way to add handheld barcode scanning to an A-B PLC, we will buy the package back.
A Better Way to Add Barcode Scanning to your PLC!
The problem is barcode scanners provide ASCII data that is hard to deal with in an A-B PLC. The scanners also support physical layers like RS-232 and USB. Few PLC’s still have serial ports and the USB is designed for programming only. Even if you have the physical layer problem solved you still have scanners that need to be mounted within ten feet of the PLC. You also have to deal with an alternative power option. This all adds cost and complexity.
The ScanDr. package solves these problems. ASCII strings are parsed and delivered directly into a data table of your A-B PLC. AOI’s are included to simplify the usage in Control & CompactLogix PLC’s. The solution connects to the PLC via Ethernet greatly enhancing your placement options. All the cabling and power regulation hardware is included. You connect the gateway via ethernet to the PLC and attach the RED and
BLACK power cables to a 24VDC, no additional components are needed! A true single source solution!
It's that simple!
The ScanDr. package includes the handheld barcode scanner(s), the 435NBX ASCII to PLC gateway, and all required cabling to make your application work. Just enter the PLC type and the PLC’s IP Address into the gateway. RTA provides the AOI to make installation as easy as possible. One Source for a Done-4-You solution.
