<div class="markdown_content"><p>Like i already told your there are Barcodescanners <br/> that have an integrated USB-to-Serial Converter</p> <p>"Alternatively you can use a Barcodescanner that has an integrated<br/> USB-to-Serial converter, then you can establish a serial<br/> connection to the device using either the CAA COM or SysCom library<br/> and read out the what the scanner is sending."</p> <p>The plug remains USB, but it will be handled like serial connection.<br/> Just Google it...</p> <p>And again, only having the Barcodescanner is not enough,<br/> you will also need a PLC that supports USB-to-Serial on its<br/> USB Port.</p> <p>Examples on how to use Serial in CODESYS are found<br/> on the CODESYS Store:<br/> <a class="" href="https://store.codesys.com/serial-com.html" rel="nofollow">https://store.codesys.com/serial-com.html</a><br/> <a class="" href="https://store.codesys.com/serial-com-with-visu.html" rel="nofollow">https://store.codesys.com/serial-com-with-visu.html</a></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello Reinier,</p> <p>here you have basically two options.<br/> You can take a barcode scanner that is recongnized as a USB Keyboard.<br/> Then you can use the normal Write Variable/Keyboard handling in<br/> the CODESYS Visualization.</p> <p>Alternatively you can use a Barcodescanner that has an integrated <br/> USB-to-Serial converter, then you can establish a serial<br/> connection to the device using either the CAA COM or SysCom library<br/> and read out the what the scanner is sending.</p> <p>Be aware that both methods need a PLC that does support these<br/> interfacing features. Not all PLCs that have a USB Port will be able<br/> to use it for a keyboard or USB-to-Serial connection.<br/> Check this with your PLC manufacturer.</p></div>
