    This document provides instructions for connecting a barcode scanner to an HMI. It discusses using USB, COM port, or CDC/POS mode interfaces. The steps are to add the scanner as a device, configure the relevant settings like timeout, baud rate, and data formats, and map the scanner's addresses for reading barcode data and status information into HMI addresses. An example shows the barcode data being saved across multiple HMI addresses with the number of bytes stored. Connecting in CDC/POS mode can provide higher reading speeds for some scanners.

    How to Connect a Barcode Reader 20-2

    20.1. Overview

    An HMI can connect with a barcode scanner via the following interfaces:
     USB
     COM port
    To connect a barcode scanner, please add a new device by the following steps.

    20.2. Steps to Connect a Barcode Scanner

    1. In EasyBuilder Pro click [System Parameters] » [Device list] and add a new device.

    2. Click [Settings…] and finish the settings.

    EasyBuilder Pro V6.09.01


    How to Connect a Barcode Reader 20-3

    Setting Description
    Timeout When [Barcode scanner] is selected, if the device reads
    slowly, a longer timeout is suggested for the device to
    complete reading data.
    When [Keyboard] is selected, a time range can be set
    for keyboard entries. The system starts counting time
    from the first entry.
    COM When using COM port, please set the communication
    Baud rate
    Data bits parameters correctly.
    Parity When using USB, there is no need to set the
    Stop bits
    parameters.
    Read byte limit With this option selected, the number of bytes a
    barcode scanner reads is restricted in order to prevent
    overloading. The range is 10 to 1024.
    Please note that the data cannot be read if it exceeds
    the limit.
    Start code The data is only valid when the first data is identical to
    the start code, otherwise the data will be ignored. The
    start code will not be stored in the address of barcode
    scanner.
    None
    When no start code is used, HMI will save all the data to
    the designated address of barcode scanner.
    STX
    Use 0x02 as start code.
    ETX
    Use 0x03 as start code.
    Other
    Use user-defined start code.
    Example: If the start code is 255 (0xff), and the data
    read is:
    0xff 0x34 0x39 0x31 0x32 0x30 0x30 0x34 0x37
    The data saved in the designated barcode scanner
    address will be:
    0x34 0x39 0x31 0x32 0x30 0x30 0x34 0x37
    Terminator A terminator represents the end of data stream.
    None
    When no terminator is used, HMI will save all the data

    EasyBuilder Pro V6.09.01


    How to Connect a Barcode Reader 20-4

    to the designated address of barcode scanner.


    STX
    Use 0x02 as terminator.
    ETX
    Use 0x03 as terminator.
    STX/ETX
    Use 0x02 or 0x03 as terminator.
    CR/LF
    Use 0x0a or 0x0d as terminator.
    Other
    Use user-defined terminator.
    Example: If the terminator is 55 (0x37), and the data
    read is:
    0x34 0x39 0x31 0x32 0x30 0x30 0x34 0x37
    The data saved in the designated barcode scanner
    address will be:
    0x34 0x39 0x31 0x32 0x30 0x30 0x34

    After adding the barcode scanner in the device list, it can then be selected in object
    settings with the following addresses to use.

    Address Type Address Name Description


    Bit FLAG FLAG 0 indicates the status of data
    reading. When reading data, the status of
    FLAG 0 is set OFF and will return ON after
    reading data successfully.
    RESET RESET 0 clears the data of BARCODE and
    RESULT when set ON.
    CONNECT_STAT CONNECT_STATUS 0 indicates whether
    US the barcode scanner (USB interface) is
    connected. When the status is ON, the
    barcode scanner is connected.
    Word BARCODE BARCODE 0: Number of bytes currently
    read.
    BARCODE 1 ~ n: Stores the data read.
    RESULT RESULT 0 indicates the result of data
    reading. The following codes indicate:
    0x00 Waiting to read BARCODE.

    EasyBuilder Pro V6.09.01


    How to Connect a Barcode Reader 20-5

    0x01 BARCODE successfully read.


    0x02 Invalid BARCODE format.
    0x03 The number of bytes specified in
    [Read byte limit] exceeded.
    0x04 The Start Code of the data read
    does not match the setting.
    0x05 The Terminator of the data read
    does not match the setting.

    Example 1
    The following is a setting example, the barcode is 9421007480830. BARCODE 0 is the address
    of Numeric Object (BYTES) and BARCODE 1 ~ n is the address of ASCII object (BARCODE).

    In the example the data stored in the barcode scanner address is listed in the following table:
    Barcode Scanner Address Data
    13 bytes (decimal)
    However, the data saved is 14 bytes = 7
    BARCODE 0 words. It is because when the number of
    bytes is an odd number, the system adds a
    byte (0x00) to make it an even number.
    BARCODE 1 3439 (HEX)
    BARCODE 2 3132 (HEX)
    BARCODE 3 3030 (HEX)
    BARCODE 4 3437 (HEX)
    BARCODE 5 3038 (HEX)
    BARCODE 6 3338 (HEX)
    BARCODE 7 0030 (HEX)

    Note
     An HMI can only be connected with one USB barcode scanner. When the device list in the
    project includes this kind of device, the system register LB-9064: [enable USB barcode
    device (disable keyboard) (when ON)] is set ON. To enable USB keyboard again and stop
    using USB barcode scanner, please set LB-9064 OFF.

    Click the icon to download the demo project. Please confirm your internet connection.

    20.3. CDC/POS Mode

    Certain barcode scanners can be configured to communicate in CDC or POS mode for higher
    reading speed.
    1. In [System Parameters] » [Device list] add a “Barcode Scanner CDC/POS Mode (USB)”
    device.

    2. Click [Settings…] and finish USB port settings.

    Setting Description
    Timeout (sec) The barcode scanner is considered as disconnected
    when the HMI has not received a response from the
    barcode scanner for a period of time set by timeout.
    In CDC mode, due to the lack of the terminating
    character, the timeout setting determines the elapsed
    time before the HMI stops receiving data.
    Turn around The HMI delays the sending of the next command for
    delay (ms) the specified period of time.
    Mode Select CDC or POS mode.

    After adding the barcode scanner in the device list, it can then be selected in object settings
    with the following addresses to use.

    Address Type Address Name Description


    Bit flag Indicates the status of data
    reading. When reading data, the
    status of flag is set OFF and will
    return ON after data is
    successfully read.
    Word data data 0~1999: Store the data
    read.
    state state 0: The value is 0 when no
    barcode scanner is detected, and
    the value is 1 when the barcode
    scanner is connected
    successfully.
    len Len 0: Number of bytes currently
    read.
