Scanner connection with MES HMI
Scanner is the device used in the automated processes to scan Barcode or QR codes. Normally scanner is used in the manufacturing processes to Identify and Bind Materials, Batches, Sublots, Equipments to the process.
Manual identification for said items always will be a risk for accidental errors. Using scanners in automated manufacturing processes will avoid human errors and maintains integrity.
Here is the schematic diagram for scanner and its components connection in one of the business scenario for your reference.
Position 1: Power Supply from the universal supply module.
Position 2: Host PC/MES HMI
Position 3: Data Cable Host PC - Universal Supply module
(This Cable has to be provided by the customer)
Position 4: Universal Supply Module for Hand-Held Scanners.
Position 5: Connecting cable to scanner
Position 6: Hand-Held Scanner
The Universal Supply Module can be operated in a potentially explosive atmosphere. The universal supply module used for data transfer and power supply. The power source for the universal supply module and the system to which the data are to be transferred must lie outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
Hope this information will be helpful in the MES implementation projects.

How universal supply module works
ReplyDeleteThe scanner is connected to the Universal Supply Module (USM) via a connection cable. The USM acts as an intermediary between the scanner and the PC/Host or HMI. The USM receives power (AC or DC) which powers the scanner. Data collected by the scanner is transmitted to the USM. The USM then sends this data to the PC/Host or HMI. The data line from the USM to the PC/Host can be RS232, RS422, RS485, or USB-SPP
