Protocols
The Gocator protocol is always on and its output is always available, regardless of the output you choose. This allows simultaneous connections via an SDK application and a PLC, letting you for example archive or display scan data on a PC while controlling equipment with a PLC. |
If you are working with barcodes or OCR, you can use the String Encoding tool in conjunction with a tool such as Surface Barcode or Surface OCR to send characters to a PLC. For more information, see String Encoding. |

If you switch jobs or make changes to a job using the SDK or a protocol (from a PLC), the switch or changes are not automatically displayed in the web interface: you must refresh the browser to see these. |
Gocator 2500 series sensors do not support the Selcom serial protocol. |
Gocator 2600 series sensors do not support the Selcom serial protocol. |
