Barcode Scanner with USB or RS232 with Core X3

Hello,

We're planning to use a CtrlX Core X3 PLC for our project. We want to use a handheld barcode scanner from Sick with RS232 or USB interface. Currently ethercat is not an option.

Only solution I've found is to use Node-RED. So, I wanted to ask if there is an easier or a standart solution for this issue? Or maybe a spesific brand of barcode reader for a straight forward implementation?

You can find the links for barcode scanners below. Thank you for your help.
