This article describes how to connect the ATOL MobileLogistics data collection terminal (DCT) with the “Inventory with data entry” configuration, which is installed on the DCT by default to standard configurations 1c UT 11 or Retail 2. This is what the “Inventory with data entry” configuration menu looks like (for Opticon Smart it will be in color).
First you need to download the driver for the terminal or stand on the terminal http://www.opticon.com/SERVICE-AND-SUPPORT.aspx. For Opticon Smart, select USB Driver; for other models, see the stand. Install the driver and connect the TSD to the computer. If connected correctly, you should see a new virtual COM port in Device Manager.
The problem when using this configuration with 1c, when you try to load data from the terminal into a document, all the goods that are in the TSD appear in the document and the quantity in them is zero, to correct this error you need to follow the procedure Download Table in the general module ConnectableEquipmentAtolTerminalsData CollectionClient paste code
In settings
Click “Functions” - “Install driver” The ATOL driver installation wizard will open. Let’s select the “Experienced User” mode and leave only the checkbox on the “Data Collection Terminal Driver”; we don’t need other drivers. If your computer is already connected to other equipment via the ATOL driver, then this operation must be done carefully; it is better to install the driver in a separate folder. Repeated installation in this folder will overwrite the driver for other equipment.
Let's install Model MobileLogistics 4.x, Port number of the virtual COM port to which your TSD is connected. The default speed in TSD is 115200 baud. The loading and unloading table for the “Inventory with data entry” configuration will be the same, i.e. "0".
To configure the “Formats” bookmarks, you need to know in which directories (Tables) the TSD stores data. This data can be obtained from the “User Guide for the Atol MobileLogistics program”. For the “Inventory with data entry” configuration, the data structure will be as follows: Directory 0 “commercial goods”
| Field index | Field name | Type | Size |
| 0 | ShK | String | 20 |
| 1 | Quantity | UFloat | 3 |
| 2 | Name | String | 40 |
| 3 | Price | Float | 2 |
| 4 |

Us. We have our own developments in this area, which can significantly facilitate the implementation of the program.
The other day I came across a modification to the data exchange between the data collection terminal Motorola (Symbol) MC9090 and 1C Trade Management on platform 8.3. As software For this purpose, a domestic development from the company “Cleverence soft” was chosen - Wi-Fi data collection terminal driver for 1C:Enterprise based on Mobile SMARTS, PROF version.
Usage commercial equipment, and in particular data collection terminals, greatly simplifies the task warehouse automation And improves work efficiency ordinary employees. Sometimes without TSD it is very difficult to carry out an inventory - this process stretches for several days, during which the balances have already changed - something has arrived, something has gone.
In the photo above is our experimental device, the top model of the Symbol TSD line - the fastest and most functional terminal. Brains - processor with a frequency of 624 MHz, 128 megabytes of RAM (ridiculous to compare with new smartphones). There is also WiFi, Bluetooth, and a color touch display on board. Operating system - Windows Mobile 5.0.
Motorola terminals have a very high degree of protection from external influences. You can literally throw them against the wall - nothing will happen to them.
Setting up the connection of the data collection terminal to 1C
The connection was configured using warehouse automation software from Cleverence soft. The TSD web server is deployed on the computer - it receives data via web-service technology from the terminal online. After this, the web service connects to the intermediate 1C, which, in turn, accesses your working configuration. This results in the following scheme of work:
TSD - Web service - intermediate 1C database - working 1C database
Why is this done? Apparently, to make it easier to exchange between the web service and the working database. 1C will work better with 1C :)
Mobile SMARTS settings for connecting to 1C
Let's return to our task. Open terminal configuration. After a short search, I found a place where additional product properties are added, for example, Price (price), Remaining balance (qty), and added a new attribute there “ cell" with type " string", in it I will write the location in the warehouse:
Video material on the topic:
Data collection terminal (DCT)– a mobile device equipped with a barcode scanner, designed to read, store and transmit data to the accounting system for business transactions.
The general meaning of scanning device technology is accurate identification of goods (products), correct quantitative and assortment accounting. These goals are the starting point for companies that implement equipment for warehouse automation and accounting.
The functions of the terminal largely depend on the software installed on the TSD or accounting system into which barcodes are directly read. That is, in fact, the function of the data collection terminal is very narrow - read the barcode, store it, and transmit it. In many ways, the quality and usefulness of TSD operation depends on software and integration. Without integration and special software (software), the TSD is nothing more than a barcode reader into itself. Many people are mistaken when purchasing a terminal that the purchase of equipment supposedly solves the problems of warehouse automation. One piece of hardware, even a very expensive one, is not enough for automation. Next, we will look at options for integrating TSD with 1C, in order to better understand the automation method, and show the practical use of equipment “in the fields.”
Practical use of TSD in a warehouse
Arrival of goods– registration of receipt of arrived goods with cargo check at the acceptance ramp.
Product consumption– collection of shipments by pre-order buyer in plan-fact mode.
Inventory– recalculation of goods in the warehouse.
OPTIONS FOR DATA TRANSFER FROM TSD TO 1C
OFFLINE. Installing special software on the TSD, setting up synchronization of the TSD with 1C
- ONLINE. Interface development for TSD, direct work with TSD in 1C
Option No. 1 TSD in OFFLINE mode
Terminal:
Software for TSD: “Data collection terminal driver” from the Cleverence company based on the Mobile Smarts platform.
Task: transfer of data from the terminal to the 1C accounting system. 1C Enterprise is located on a remote server. The terminal is connected to the PC via a USB cable to the local computer. Those. you need to transfer data from the PC to the server with 1C.
Price Mobile Smarts licenses: 4,000-5,000 UAH.
To connect the terminal to 1C, we installed:
- Mobile Smarts platforms on the data collection terminal
- Mobile Smarts platform on PC and utility included in the kit for RDP file exchange
- Mobile Smarts platform on the 1C server, 1C Mobile Smarts Driver, unpack exchange processing for 1C with TSD
After installing and configuring the solution based on Cleverens software, we were able to complete all planned tasks and use the terminal to automate the warehouse operation.
Advantages of OFFLINE mode
High autonomy. The terminal operator is not connected to the WI-FI signal level and can move freely around the entire perimeter of the warehouse.
- the TSD has navigation by pressing hot keys. For example, to select the “Goods receipt” document, just press the number 5 in the main menu of the program
- Thoughtful, not overloaded program interface
- the terminal can store several databases. This is necessary, for example, if the same terminal is used to work with different directories or different companies.
- TSD operating autonomously does not create additional loads on 1C and the terminal server.
Disadvantages of OFFLINE mode
Dead battery vulnerability. If the battery is completely discharged during scanning, the terminal will turn off and the data will not be saved. You'll have to rescan the batch then
Varov.
- repeated repetition of operations to transfer data to/from the terminal. For example, in order to collect a buyer’s order, you need to put the TSD in the database (cradle), unload the order from 1C, synchronize the PC with the TSD, and after assembly do two reverse steps. Those. only 6 operations. Not a little for intensive shipment. Plus, every time you need to approach the base (cradle) with the terminal. Periodically (once a day/week) you need to completely unload the Nomenclature directory to update the barcode directory.
- Complex setup and connection procedure. Although the manufacturer Cleverence provides instructions and provides support for its solutions, integration and configuration will take time and require technical preparedness for the issue. You also need to be prepared for this.
- You need to buy a license for each data collection terminal
Option No. 2 TSD ONLINE
Terminal: Motorola MC 3190 based on Windows CE 6.0 operating system
Software for TSD: RDP connection with operator’s workstation interface developed for TSD
Task: transfer of data from TSD to the 1C accounting system. 1C Enterprise is located on the server. The terminal connects directly to the server via remote desktop. Those. And regular user 1C and the TSD operator work directly in 1C online.
Solution price: 10,000 UAH.
To solve the problem, we will need to update the 1C configuration and add the TSD operator interface to it. After this, you need to configure a connection to a remote desktop from 1C on the TSD.
Advantages of ONLINE mode (RDP)
TSD always has an up-to-date database of documents and reference books. There is no need to make data exchanges.
- instant display of scanned data in 1C
- unlimited scalability of the solution. Once developed, the TSD operator interface can be used for 10 and 100 terminals
- the ability to refine and make changes to the solution
- the ability to use the interface on devices running different OS: Windows, Android.
- the data collection terminal is not strictly tied to the system. For example, if it fails, the battery runs out, you reconnect to the server session from another terminal and continue working
The most important advantage of the online mode of operation of the terminal is that there is no need to go through the procedure of installing synchronization drivers and carrying out technical operations to set up a multi-link data transmission chain. Those. The terminal practically does not need to be prepared for operation, provided that the 1C "TSD" interface is ready.
Disadvantages of ONLINE mode (RDP)
It is possible that the connection between the terminal and the server may be interrupted both for local reasons (warehouse walls, range, coverage area) and for global reasons (problems with the communication provider)
- Battery drains faster in online mode
- Additional load on the main corporate server of the company
- relative high cost of interface development, for example, for one or two TSDs
In order to become more familiar with the described options, we recommend watching the video we filmed specifically for this topic.
The functionality of the software allows you to perform the following operations:
1. For "1C:Enterprise 8": Buyer's order, Trade by samples, invoice printing, Sales of goods and services, Return of goods from the buyer, Orders to suppliers, Receipts of goods and services, Returns of goods to suppliers, Receipt of goods and services in NTT, Revaluation of goods in retail, Receipt and expense orders, Transfers goods and services, Inventory of goods and services, Capitalization of goods, Write-off of goods, Adding barcodes for goods on TSD, + some others.

Uploading documents/tasks to the radio terminal: For auto exchange documents require an automatic loading/unloading module
Support for weight products, characteristics, series, serial numbers: Yes
Remote (RDP) access to 1C: Not required! Everything is online through the server of data collection terminals.
Supported directory volumes: Any! All nomenclature is taken online from the 1C database.
Many documents on one terminal: Yes
Collective work with documents: To collaborate with documents, you need a collaboration module.
Mobile printing: To print, you need a print module.
The software package for 1C includes:
1. Program for a data collection terminal used for warehouse automation (free client Mobile SMARTS 2008);
2. Server for radio terminals for data collection (special version of the Mobile SMARTS 2008 server);
3. Intermediate configuration of “1C:Enterprise” for redirecting calls from the TSD, intended for automating warehouse operations, to the main 1C database and storing settings;
4. External component for 1C, implementing the standard for the driver of commercial equipment;
5. Processing of the commercial equipment driver + additional processing for advanced driver functions;
6. Configurator of the data collection terminal program used to automate warehouse operations (free control panel Mobile SMARTS 2008).
Benefits over using RDP or Citrix ICA
1. No connection interruptions. Mobile SMARTS on TSD, used to automate warehouse operations, is an independent program. It does not require constant uninterrupted network communication. If the network is down, then direct requests to 1C will fail with the friendly error “Error when accessing 1C: Retry/Cancel?”
2. Proper integration with the scanner. The scanner turns on only in those places where scanning is expected. The product barcode is always transmitted as a whole, and not in separate characters, there are no delays. If 1C is “stupid” when processing some scans, then the program on the data collection terminal intended for warehouse automation waits for the end of processing before turning on the scanner for the next scan, and does not send product barcodes into the void.
3. Audio messages. Mobile SMARTS on the TSD has the ability to issue audio messages. For example, if a product barcode is scanned by mistake, the user’s attention will be immediately attracted by a loud sound warning.
4. Mobile printing. Mobile SMARTS on TSD, used to automate warehouse operations, can print directly to mobile Wi-Fi and Bluetooth printers.
5. Work via GPRS/EDGE. Mobile SMARTS does not send screen pictures back and forth, but exchanges specific compressible data with the terminal - directories, product barcodes, results of calling 1C methods. Thanks to this, the network traffic with Mobile SMARTS is very small and allows you to work online connected to 1C even in cellular networks.
Advantages compared to using the extension for pocket computers (smartphones)
1. Direct connection to 1C, no need to download or synchronize databases. Mobile SMARTS with TSD gets direct access to the 1C database via an OLE connector. In this case, 1C processing can find out which specific data collection terminal used for warehouse automation is making the call.
2. Proper integration with the scanner. The scanner turns on only in those places where scanning is expected. The read barcode of a product can be immediately transferred to the necessary processing of the 1C database (as is implemented in operations for checking balances and prices).
