Five free resident plugins that extend the capabilities of Bill Redirect: send data directly to Microsoft Excel cells via DDE, control your web browser from any serial peripheral, redirect a serial port over Ethernet to a remote computer, intercept USB HID keyboard devices such as scales, barcode scanners and gauges (rfIDEAS, Datalogic, Zebra, Symbol, Honeywell) for redirection to TCP, file or Excel, and bridge captured data to industrial protocols (Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, OPC UA, Siemens S7, REST API). All plugins are free and work with Bill Redirect version 6.0A or higher.
Each plugin is a free resident software that adds a new communication channel between Bill Redirect and your target application.
This free resident plugin software creates a real-time connection between Bill Redirect and Microsoft Excel. The captured data from your serial, USB or TCP peripheral can be sent directly into any Excel cell via DDE — perfect for live data logging, real-time spreadsheets and automated weighing or barcode workflows.
★ This plugin works with Bill Redirect version 6.0A and higher.
This free resident plugin sends data directly from your scales, barcode scanners, proximity readers or any peripheral straight into a specific field of your web browser — Chrome or Edge. Pinpoint the exact destination field so the data never lands in the wrong place. Once the value is written, the plugin can simulate an ENTER keypress or click a button of your choice, automating the entire form-fill workflow.
★ This plugin works with Bill Redirect version 6.0A and higher. Compatible with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
This free resident plugin opens a serial port connection with your serial peripheral and redirects the data to Bill Redirect over an Ethernet TCP connection. With this solution, you can connect a serial peripheral on one computer and receive the data on another computer over your local network — perfect for distributed setups, remote weighing stations and shared barcode scanners.
★ This plugin works with Bill Redirect version 6.0A and higher.
This free resident plugin intercepts USB HID keyboard devices such as scales, barcode scanners and gauges — any device that operates in HID Keyboard Mode and injects its data straight into the active Windows application as if it were typed on the keyboard. Compatible devices include scanners and readers from rfIDEAS, Datalogic, Zebra, Symbol and Honeywell. The captured data can be modified on the fly and redirected to a TCP socket, a file, Microsoft Excel or to keyboard emulation — turning every keyboard-emulating peripheral into a programmable data source.
★ This plugin works with Bill Redirect version 6.0A and higher.
This free resident plugin turns Bill Redirect into an industrial protocol gateway. Data captured from your scales, barcode scanners or any peripheral is exposed over Modbus TCP/RTU Slave, MQTT, OPC UA, Siemens S7 or a REST API — feeding your PLC, SCADA or MES directly. Configurable register type, data format, word order, scale factor and unit ID for seamless integration with existing automation systems.
★ This plugin works with Bill Redirect version 6.0A and higher.
