Scanner as a PLC device

From PlcWiki

workplace.ScanCOM = /dev/null

workplace.device.scanner1 = yes
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.name = Fixed scanner
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.type = serial
#workplace.device.scanner1.settings.type = keyboard
#workplace.device.scanner1.settings.type = nordic
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.tty = /dev/ttyS0
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.speed = 9600
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.log_file = /usr/local/plc/log/scanner1.log
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.emulate_delim = yes
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.sentence_timeout = 100
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.sentence_delim = 10
workplace.device.scanner1.settings.debug_mode = yes
#workplace.device.scanner1.event.scannerinput = "^prefix(.+)suffix\r?\n?$"
workplace.device.scanner1.event.scannerinput = "^\x02?(.+?)\x03?\r?\n?$"
workplace.device.scanner1.event.scannerinput.input = [[:]]

workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta = yes
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.settings.type = nimmsta
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.settings.tty = /dev/ttyUSB_2_3
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.settings.log_file = /usr/local/plc/log/scanner_nimmsta.log
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.settings.debug_mode = yes
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.settings.sentence_delim = 13
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.settings.speed = 115200
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.settings.name = Nimmsta
# workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.settings.nimmsta_tag = CUSTOM
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.event.scannerinput = "^[+]..ScanEvent....(.+?)\r?$"
workplace.device.scanner_nimmsta.event.scannerinput.input = [[:]]

The new & simple way (since September 2013):

workplace.ScannerModel = Device

or

workplace.ScannerModel = Keyboard

or

workplace.ScannerModel = Nordic

or

workplace.ScannerModel = Nimmsta

If plc_scan does not work, update the plc_client_system package or try clever_scan.

New way adds a scanner device "scanner_dev". It is added as an "ADD" so if it is necessary redefine any parameter of this scanner must be redefined by the #map directive.
