Barcode Readers in the industrial environment

Barcode readers, connected via RS232 to the COM port of the PC, are the simplest variant of barcode readers in industrial environments. These barcode readers normally supply a character string with the barcode information after the scan. The OPC Router Plug-in for generic bar code readers enables the reception and further processing of the character string.
