Printing through a Micro820

2 posts in this topic

Good morning,

  I want to connect my Micro820 to a load cell, read its value and then send it to a printer so I can have a generate a label with the product's weight.

  I'm open about the printer model but I really don't know where to start and couldn't find any good articles about  it. Does anybody know where I could find some more information about the subject or even program examples?

Thank you

What is the specification for your load cell?  You will either need to match a load cell to what the Micro820 offers for I/O, or add an I/O module.  http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/sg/2080-sg001_-en-p.pdf

For printing, most printers today are USB, and the Micro820 has a USB port.  I have found little information for Micro820 and printing.   If you have a Tech Connect contract, I would encourage you to call A-B/Rockwell.  http://www.wernermn.com/assets/files/PDF/Solution%20Expo/Presentations/AD/AD13.CCWOverview.pdf
