Step by step instructions on how to setup and use a serial barcode scanner with the Do-more PLC on both the internal and external serial ports. Includes a Stage programming example too!
The barcode scanner used in this video is a Symbol LS2208 with the optional RS232 interface cable (Motorola part number CBA-R37-C09ZAR) which provides a Female DB9 for us to connect to.
We made a custom adapter to get from the LS2208 Interface Cable Serial connector output (Female DB9) to the Do-more PLC Serial Port (RJ12).
The final chain of cables and interfaces looked like this:
LS2208 .........RS232 Cable **.............. Custom ....... DoMore! PLC
Bar Code....... Interface ....................... Adapter........ RJ11
Scanner.........(CBA-R37-C09ZAR) ...... Cable ........... RS232 Port
The custom adapter was wired like this:
Male ....... Male
DB9........ RJ12 (6-pin)
..5............. 1
..2............. 3
..3............. 4
** Not an AutomationDirect part.
Note: The table in the LS2208 user guide on page 3-7 shows the pin out of the scanner, NOT the RS232 add-on interface cable that we are referring to above.
