Ethernet I/P info

Here's a link to a cool page on Rockwell Automation's site explaining the benefits of Ethernet I/P. http://www.ab.com/networks/ethernet.html

This site has a lot of information. It really helps explain the additional features and standards that Factory Ethernet or Ethernet I/P has over standard TCP/IP.

Of course, the MS Connect 210 comes with available Ethernet I/P.

What does IP54 mean?

Here's a chart that has a simple explanation of the IP ratings.

It came from the site below for reference.

MS Connect 210 - Connect via Ethernet Directly to the Scanner

MS Connect 210 with the Ethernet option allows yout to connect directly to the scanner over your network using the Microscan ESP configuration software.

Thanks to James Ellis at Microscan for pointing this feature that I thought was lacking.

Microscan 890 No Data Output or Beep on Calibration Screen

We came across this situation this week trying to read a bar code in the calibration screen of Microscan's ESP software. It shows the code reading and the % decode but no beep and no data out the 25 pin port. As soon as you switch to the Terminal window, the reader beeps and outputs the data.

In Continuous read mode, you also have to have the current focal settings in the database or the scanner won't read. The database was designed to be used with a trigger event.
