PLC and hmi pair is standalone system. Now I would like to set a PC with barcode scanner and label printer. THe PC should get information about scanned code and set all 4 PLC's with new parameters. After process cycle PLC should send info to PC about product and print label. My first idea was to have wincc flex on pc. Winccflex can get info from scanner to IO filed. But the problem is to print label because wincc flex does not support printing tags or i'am wrong? What else system should i consider? WinCC?, PCS7?

It was possible to use ptp connection with printer and print labels. Other question was to use 3 barcode scanners over profbus or profinet and get information to the plc or pc system. That was also possible to finish with usig PB and sick laser scanners. Thanks for any help.
