Click PLC with Badge Scanner

3 posts in this topic

I am just getting back into PLC programming after quite a few years and I have a project that I need to incorporate a badge scanner (smart card reader) with a Click PLC. I am using a C2-03CPU from automation direct with a HID Omnikey  5025CL, but I am unsure of how the interface should look in the ladder logic any help would be greatly appreciated

I've never attempted this with a click, but the two times I did it with PCProx-PLUS Readers and AB PLCs we used Panelviews and connected to readers to the HMI and let the HMI by script pass the read data to the PLC.  Now this may be specific to that manufacturer, but I suspect Omnikey cna Click can provide sample code snippets for what you're trying to do.  I would suggest starting there.

BobLfoot, thank you for the quick response. After looking into this a little further that is what I was thinking as well. I will just need to get the parts in hand and try to play around with it. Thank you again
