    If I'm not mistaken, I don't think the DCM is going to help you. The 240 CPU doesn't have any ascii input instructions. The only protocols the DCM has is K-seq, Directnet and Modbus. If your Barcode reader had those protocols then it could communicate. The 260 and 06 are the only Ascii capable CPU's. You would need one of those or use the Ascii Basic module.

    Thats great, glad you got it to work. V7731 isn't listed in the manual from what I can find. I'm interested in how this works. Explain your setup.

    Does it put the data string in successive memory locations starting at V2000?
