CP1H - Barcode Reader

[tranthanhtung 0]

Hello everyone,

I'm studying PLC - CP1H to connect barcode reader.

Do you have any experience to do it, could you share for me some information?
1. CP1H can connect with barcode?

2. Which barcode reader type can use ?

Thanks so much

There are countless barcode readers you can use. A common method for doing this is to use a Serial communication module for the PLC (CP1W-CIF01). Many barcode readers out there support Serial still (Omron's V320 and V420 for example are good fixed readers, the HS360X and V410H are handheld options).

In the PLC you set the Serial port to RS232C and you can use the TXD and RXD instructions to exchange data with the barcode reader. There is a flag in the PLC that will tell you when the CIF01 buffer has new data (when something is scanned the reader sends the data automatically) then you can read it with the RXD instruction and parse it out.

do you have list barcode reader that intergrade with CP1H?

Actually, I'm finding barcode cheapest price (~100$ as LS2208 of Symbol).

But, some branch request Keyence, Idec, Mars tohken that x2/x3 price

thanks so much

Pretty much any barcode reader with RS232 will work. You'll likely need to build a cable as the pinout on the CIF01 isn't the IBM pinout and most scanners use the IBM pinout. You could get a cable from Omron (CBL-202) but they're cheap to build.

LS2208 work fine but you have to order a RS232 serial cable instead of USB.

yes, thanks for your supporting

as your comment, we need add more module CP1W-CIF01 for PLC and barcode reader,

seem, it's expensive also. I'm thinking about method to connect via HMI?

Ex: CP1H --rs485--> HMI (Fuji HMI monotouch) 

any people test: using LS2208 to read barcode and send to ts1070?

That's a pretty uncommon HMI, I doubt you'll find the answer on here. If it supports pass-through communication that would probably be your easiest method. I have done this with an NB HMI and a serial printer.

Maple (Weintek) HMI can read USB barcode reader, and send it to PLC.
