Telelsis Pinstamp

[eccan 0]

I am starting to delevop a system before I have all the components, and was wondering if anyone had experience programming this. I will be sending a batch number from a SLC 503 via ASCII to a telesis pinstamp. The pinstamp has a variable text field in its message, and can receive this via RS232. Has anyone attempted this or have any tips Thanks EC

I didn't use RS-232 but I've used one, read this: http://www.mrplc.com/kb/index.php?page=index_v2&id=51&c=38 It's probablly going to be standard RS-232 that you'll send to this unit to communicate. I am sure we can help you. There is also some ascii handler programs in the Allen Bradley section to download that was done for other devices, such as scales and such. Might help you out. You'll need to research the ascii commands the printer needs, then present it with a string to command it to do what you want. You then read the string, and parse the string based on the response you recieved.
