can i use OPC server 5.1 to communicate over ethernet to an SLC505 PLC

[stew j]

i would like to use the industrial automation opc server to communicate with my Allen Bradley SLC505 over ethernet, but the ethernet or 505 options dont seem to be available, i have used lookout opc server 4.5 successfully to do this, but it requires server explorer to be connected to the server before labview datasocket will work. where version 5.1 connects automatically.

This particular Allen Bradley PLC is not supported by lookout 5.1 (see documentation) and KB on the web 2ZRB25HW.

hOWEVER, In the SLC500 object you could select ethernet and have limited success in Lookout 5.0. But this was removed in Lookout 5.1. If you replace the attached file with the 5.1 allbrad.cbx file with the 5.0 CBX file then you will have the same unsupported functionality in 5.0
