Greetings to all. I am new here. Hoping to get some help getting DOT MATRIX scanned numbers into plc program so I can determine that the number is correct and on the correct part. The DIRT: PLC: Mitsubishi: QO2CPU Scanner: Omron: V400-F350 Communication Card: QJ71C24N-R2 Currently I have the Scanner sending a "OK" signal if the DM tag is readable (Customer requirement). Now the powers that be want me to actually read the numbers and verify that they are on the right part. I need to somehow get the numbers from the DM tag into the PLC program so I can compare numbers and match up to a RH or LH part. I know this is clear as mud but I am trying to get the ball rolling. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
