[heron8888 0]

I have a 5/03 machine with basic module, prt1 reads in asci string from barcode with the following program 0 rem grosever1 10 mode (prt1,9600,n,8,1,n,n) 20 push 3 30 call 120 40 push 1 50 push 15 60 push 3 70 push 1 80 push 0 90 push 0 100 push 1 110 call 22 120 goto 120 130 end this works fine but i want to know how to modify program so that there is a second identical barcode scanner in prt 2 and they work independently I am ok with rs logix program and can do this side of the program but have no idea on the basic side any help would be greatly appreciated

I am use to 1 port for programming and ath other configed for serial you might try. 10 mode (prt1,9600,n,8,1,n,n) 20 push 3 30 call 120 40 push 1 50 push 15 60 push 3 70 push 1 80 push 0 90 push 0 100 push 1 110 call 22 120 goto 120 130 mode (prt1,9600,n,8,1,n,n) 140 push 3 150 call 240 160 push 1 170 push 15 180 push 3 190 push 1 200 push 0 210 push 0 220 push 1 230 call 23 240 goto 240 Its been along time. I use GSC Module's for barcode readers all config is done in logic. I will post a basic program that has good documation and you might see what you need. Basic.txt

You can change your offset into data file setting to move the location in the data file.
