can lookout protocol drivers act as modbus slave on ethernet?

i am trying to have a modicon momentum plc push data to the server software using the i/o scanner option in the plc. can lookout protocol drivers do this over ethernet connection?? i want to achieve less than 8ms update rate into labview. kepware will work like this but I can't get data into tag engine if the I/O group update rate in tag engine is set below .1 second. otherwise I will have to buffer data in the plc and define lots of tags as datapoints.

At this time, Lookout cannot act as a Modbus slave over ethernet. The Modbus slave object only works for serial. If the PLC is what is containing the data, then you should be able to use the Modbus object to talk with the PLC and get the data from the PLC. The slave object is only needed if you want Lookout to act like a PLC on the network.

However, an update rate of less than 8 ms may not be feasible with the Modbus object. Unfortunately, you may have to buffer the data so that you do not lose any of it.
