3.9.3 Batch control through barcode reader
If a barcode reader is connected to the interface “RS232 for barcode reader”
(extra code, connector 2) or “RS232/RS485” (connector 7), then the batch
start, batch stop, and input of batch texts in a current batch report, can be
controlled by the barcode reader. The bar codes that are used all correspond
to the type “Code39”.
Preconditions - The interface must be configured for barcode operation.
Example:
Configuration
! Interface ! RS232 for barcode reader ! General !
Protocol = Bar code.
- The batch start (= batch stop) must be configured.
Example for batch start/stop:
Configuration
! Batches/plants ! Plant 1 ! General ! Batch start = Bar
code.
- Every line that is to be set by the bar code must be configured.
Example for plant 1, line 1 (program name):
Configuration
! Batches/plants ! Plant 1 ! Line 1 ! content of right
column = Bar code.

If one of the visualizations is active, and nothing is being entered or edited at
the moment, then the current batch report can be shown via the barcode
reader. The preconditions is that the batch is active and the parameter is set to
Configuration
! Screen ! Barcode -> act. batch = Yes.
Active and display (if required) batch report for plant 1:
Activate and display (if required) batch report for plant 2:
Before entering commands through a barcode reader, the
corresponding plant 1 — 3 must be prepared by scanning in
“BATCH1 — 3” for the bar code commands, regardless of whether
or not they are automatically displayed.
