Hello,
I have case where I need to connect metal detector, which have Modbus TCP/IP card in it to the barcode reader.
Idea is that in metal detector there are several (app. 100) different product programs for different applications.
On each product there is barcode which include what products is. Products are going on the conveyor belt.
Barcode reader would read the barcode and based on that information it would change the product number on the metal detector to match the current product.
Here is citation from the metal detector manufacturer introduction:
"In order to change products remotely, all you need to do is enter the product number (using a program such as such as Modscan, PC Master, or other similar program) into Modbus register number 41045 and set parameter-change coil number 16385 to one (1). When you enter the product number in this register, all metal detector settings for this product are automatically updated, and the metal detector is now ready to start analyzing the new product you specified"
My question is, what do I need to do for implement this kind of action? Is it possible to connect metal detector and barcode reader to the PC which have e.g Modscan program?
Manufacturer couldn't give me detailed introduction how to do this.
Thanks in advance!
