I am trying to connect an Efecter 2D barcode reader to a Prosoft MVI69-GEC. I have installed the card and the sample ladder code from Prosoft. The card appears to be communicating with the backplane ok. I cannot get the card and scanner to talk to each other. I can connect the scanner directly to me laptop through the ethernet and receive the ASCII data string using hyperterminal set to port 50003. Something seems to be missing in my setup or ladder logic. Has anyone tried this setup or could point me in the right direction.
The manual for this card is geared for a compactlogix. Here is the info needed for a micrologix. Hope this helps someone else.
Using the Prosoft supplied sample code.
N20:2-5 is the IP address to connect to.
N20:6 is the service port number. Remember, you may have to switch to hex view and convert the port number to hex to enter larger port numbers
Increase preset time on T4:2 to 32000.
Then toggle bit B3/2 in ladder 3 to connect the client.
N12:30 will show if it is connected
N23:x will receive the data. My data was reversed so you can put a 1 in N20:7 to swap received data characters.
