ZEBRA PRINTER INTEGRATION




EASY INTEGRATION OF ZEBRA/ZPL PRINTERS

Zebra printers are used in many industrial labelling applications. Zebra
printers are supplied with printing information via the ZPL (Zebra Programming
Language). ZPL is also implemented by many other labeling systems. With the OPC
Router, these printers can easily be supplied with data from various systems.
The connection is made via this plug-in and the data transfers are configured
via the graphical configuration.

EXAMPLE FOR A INTEGRATION OF ZEBRA/ZPL PRINTERS





ACHIEVING MORE WITH COMBINED SYSTEMS



Printing systems take on important product labeling tasks. Wrong or missing
labels can result in sizeable economic damages. When a printers is connected
with the OPC Router, data exchange can take place coherently, which rules out
human errors by tapping into the data source immediately.


INDUSTRIE 4.0 FOR ZEBRA PRINTERS



Making use of the OPC Router in connection with the  Zebra Plug-in dispences of
manual configuration efforts of printing data in ZPL-compatible printers.
Instead, the printer is now part of an Industry 4.0 infrastructure.


ABOUT OPC ROUTER


The OPC Router offers a visual network configuration interface for successful
cross-linking of your systems. A high variety of plug-ins turn the OPC Router
into a powerful data hub for industrial applications.

Easy configuration, sophisticated monitoring and robustness are main
distinguishing features of the OPC Router.



That’s how easy it is.

What’s Transfer, Trigger and Browsing?



TRANSFER OBJECTS

The transfer object of the Zebra plug-in contains  ZPL commands for printing.

Fields

The configured template contains ZPL command sequences, and can also be enhanced
with dynamic fields.  During transfer the dynamic fields are filled with
transferred values first. Once this has occurred, the now current ZPL command
sequence is sent to the printer.




TRIGGER

The Zebra plug-in does not have trigger functions of its own but uses the
standard trigger functions the OPC Router offers.




BROWSING

The Zebra plug-in extracts the filled-in dynamic parameters from inside the
comman sequence and makes it available for selection.




ZEBRA LABELPRINTER PLUG-IN APPLICATION EXAMPLES




ZEBRA PRINTERS AND INDUSTRY 4.0

If a Zebra printer is supplied with the print data for the current article at
the start of production, you can experience Industry 4.0 live. The collected
data for the job was retrieved in advance from the OPC Router of SAP and
transferred to the central production database. After the start signal for the
job was given from the MES, the OPC Router gave all PLCs parameters for
production via OPC UA. In the chain of setup processes the Zebra printer is then
automatically sent the assignment of the print fields and the layout to be used.
The data all originate from the central production database and are obtained
automatically. If all systems give their OK, the production system starts its
operation, set up without errors. With one click in the MES, one person sets up
an entire production chain. One of many practical examples for Industry 4.0.






ZEBRA PRINTERS AS PART OF THE IOT

By retrieving the status information of the Zebra printer it is possible to
determine the status of the printer remotely. IoT (Internet of Things) is about
mapping “things” virtually and reproducing their state as accurately as possible
in order to make decisions about necessary actions. The status values that the
OPC Router can retrieve from the Zebra printer provide information about ink
level, paper shortage, label quantities, etc. If these data are transferred by
the OPC Router to a central database or to an IoT-system like ThingWorx (see
ThingWorx plug-in), the digital twin of the printer can be brought to life. In
case of critical conditions (paper shortage etc.) intelligent measures can be
initiated immediately. The Zebra printer thus becomes part of the IoT.
