Real Time Automation adds ScanDr. pre-configured barcode scanning for PLCs

January 23, 2019 – Real Time Automation, Inc. (RTA) has added pre-configured barcode scanning packages to its 435NBX ASCII to PLC gateway offering.

RTA’s ScanDr. packages add barcode scanning to MicroLogix, ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PLC-5 and SLC5/05 Allen-Bradley PLCs.

RTA’s ScanDr. barcode scanner packages bundle together everything needed to add data capture technology directly with Allen-Bradley PLCs. The ScanDr. package includes the barcode scanner(s), the RTA ASCII to PLC gateway, and all cabling required to make your application work. Just enter the PLC type and the PLC’s IP address into the gateway. RTA provides an AOI, so there is no ladder logic to program.

The ScanDr. comes in corded and cordless versions and provides scanners for industrial and rugged conditions.
