1 I NTRODUCTION Metrologic’s MX001 Industrial Control Interfa ce enhances Metrologic’s line of industrial laser scanners. It does this by providing a way to connect an external object sensor to the scanner and a way for the scanner to control an external device through an electronic switc h (a TRIAC). This enables the scanner to sense the prese[...]
