Good afternoon, I've done a bit of research in regards to running a Zebra printer via ethernet from an Omron PLC but there's not much info out there. Has anyone had much success printing barcodes to a Zebra printer from PLC via ethernet? I'm using an Omron NA5 (HMI) which I've designed to displays 12 different buttons indicating different barcodes, but I'm unsure how to link these buttons to the specific barcode files that I've created in Zebra Designer.. Would anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this?

Hello Everybody I have started an EIP communication between a Mitsubishi IQR plc and a Zebra ZT610. For this I use a RJ71EIP91 card for MITSUBISHI. And on the Zebra side I had the "Network Connect" driver installed. In the RJ71EIP91 card I put the ESD file. (attention I was obliged to modify this one and to put the communication in "point to point" (before it was multicast) I have a closed network (Zebra, PLC, PC) It works. I can print labels with tags that evolve in the PLC. The problem is that when I turn off the printer I have a lot of trouble reconnecting it to the PLC. When I run a slave scan with the "RJ71EIP91 TOOL" software, it no longer sees the printer, although I can ping it from this software and I can see it clearly. To regain communication I have to reset the zebra, or initialise the network parameters, or initialise with the factory parameters. It's really strange. I can't figure out what is making me regain communication. If I switch off the PLC or unplug the RJ45s and leave the Zebra switched on, I don't lose communication. Do you have any ideas to help me understand my problem? Thank you all for your help. Renaud

Mail me for Help if anyone is stuck during coding and settings.

This may be more of a Zebra question than a PLC question but I will post it here. I am using Zebra's Network Connect to enable communication between a CompactLogix L13ER and a ZT410. My issue is that the QR Code omits the 5 elements of the array in Field 1 of the CompactLogix. I expect the first two elements in the array to be ignored per the manual but the first 5 has me puzzled. All the characters in the text shows up fine. I have attached what I am seeing. If you have a QR Code reader, you can scan the QR Code.

hi, We want to integrate Allen Bradley L16-ER with Zebra Printer GT800 and Zebra Scanner Li4278 with RS232 extension Card. We have hardware : 1.ABPLC L16-ER 2.1734-232ASC 3.Zebra Printer GT800 4.Zebra Scanner Li4278 5.Communication Cables We are not able to receive and transmit data from and to Printer and Scanner

Does anyone have an .eds file for the Zebra printers. I need to use ethernet/IP from a CJ2MCPU31
