01 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Make barcode input
available to your PLC.

Industrial data capture. Simpler system integration.

Zport USB-HID_IND is an industrial interface module developed by Little Array Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. Its USB host interface receives data from compatible USB-HID barcode scanners and keyboards, then provides that data to PLCs and industrial controllers through an RS-485 or RS-232 serial interface. It is designed for controllers without a USB host port or built-in USB-HID support.

By handling USB-HID input at the module level, Zport helps reduce software development work and simplifies barcode data acquisition in factory automation, machine control and traceability applications.

02 ENGINEERING ADVANTAGES

Designed for the production floor.

Focused functions for barcode acquisition and reliable communication with industrial control systems.

USB-HID Scanner Connectivity

Accepts data from compatible USB-HID barcode scanners, HID keyboards and supported wireless scanner receivers, making their input available over a serial interface.

Three Data Transfer Modes

Select automatic data transmission, AT command-based reading or Modbus RTU polling. Fourteen common parameters can be configured or queried, and six command functions are available.

Configurable Status Output

Configure the PORT signal to indicate USB-HID connection status or a data-received event for the connected controller.

Selectable RS-485 / RS-232 Interface

Use either TIA/EIA RS-485 with automatic transmit/receive direction control or TIA/EIA RS-232, according to the target controller. The two interfaces are not active simultaneously.

EMC and Environmental Documentation

Access the EU Declaration of Conformity, EMC test reports, RoHS verification documents and related environmental information.

Configuration Tools and Examples

Windows configuration software, wiring guides and sample PLC/HMI projects support faster setup, commissioning and integration.
