Connecting hardware to set up a Point of Sale in 1C:Drive
Question: I need to connect a device to exchange information with the 1C:Drive interface.
Answer: To connect a device for information exchange with 1C:Drive when setting up a Point of sale is possible. There is no plug and play devices for this purpose, when setting up a connection with a device is necessary to have preliminary access to the device, and the API provided by the device’s manufacturer. In a trial and error approach a dedicated team of developers should set tasks to fulfil and develop the software for information exchange using 1C programing language.
1C:Drive can work with different types of equipment, but it’s necessary to develop an integration component (specific for each vendor/model).
The structure of the connection should be as follows, the equipment should have drivers available, to establish communication with 1C:Drive, developers should create an external data processor that will send and receive data to and from the equipment.
At the moment 1C:Drive supports only USB bar code scanners (Native API compatible).
