- RS485 (Recommended Standard 485 – asynchronous serial interface)
D The digital scanner establishes a connection to the base station or universal power supply
module or PC / host via Bluetooth and functions as a serial connection.
Data transmission is via a two-wire line.
The RS485 interface has similar characteristics to the RS422 interface.
Ranges of up to 1200m can be achieved.
The RS485 interface is bus compatible.
The same applies to repeaters, immunity to interference and voltage levels as described via
the RS422 interface.
The big difference and big advantage of the RS485 interface is that only 2 data lines are
needed. The participants send and receive via the lines TxD/RxD+ and TxD/RxD-. This
results in less installation effort.
- Keyboard Wedge
This interface connects the digital scanner between the keyboard and the host computer and
translates barcode data into keyboard input. The host computer accepts the data as if it came
from the keyboard.
- IBM 468X/IBM469X
Connection to IBM 468X/IBM469X Host System.
When using the serial interfaces, please note that software is required to process the data on the
PC/host.
BARTEC does not offer its own software solution.
Background:
The serial interface does not have its own intelligence. This means that all data arriving at the
interface is lost if it is not collected and processed by a software application.
Possible solution:
Use of a software keyboard wedge.
