U-CON / Typical Applications/ Barcode Scanners
For years Barcode scanners have been integrated into automation
and manufacturing systems to make data collection easier,
faster, more accurate, more reliable, and more efficient.
Manufacturers and their supply chain need to continually
streamline operations, reduce labor costs, and improve traceability.
Most Bar code scanners and devices for use in automation
include support for RS485 and or TCP/IP based communications.
Unfortunately, most of the connectivity solutions available
are often customized or lack the full functionality required
for automation applications. Engineers have been using Kepware's
U-CON driver solution since 2001 to connect barcode scanners
into a wide variety of automation and data collection systems.
U-CON supports serial and Ethernet connections, is scalable,
and connects easily to automation systems via OPC, DDE, ODBC
as well as native interfaces.
You can Connect via RS232 to a barcode scanner!

Benefits of using U-CON for Barcode device connectivity:
- Cost-effective: better than custom code, toolkits, or proprietary integration.
- Leverages Proven Technologies: U-CON "plugs in" to Kepware's OPC/DDE server architecture.
- Seamlessly Connectivity: to the vast majority of HMI, Historian, SCADA, ERP, MES, and control systems in the automation market.
- Consistent & Maintainable: additional drivers are available for common protocols for Allen-Bradley, GE, Modbus, Mitsubishi, Siemens, Yokogawa and more.
- Powerful: one license includes Serial and TCP/IP connections.
- Scalability: No device or tag/point limits with complete licenses.
- Complete: License includes support and full documentation.
U-CON data acquisition software is an OPC and driver solution for a wide variety of barcode scanners and devices with RS485 and TCP/IP communication capabilities. Add real-time and reliable barcode driver connectivity to your automation solution, download U-CON today!
