6B AND lookout

[boliver]

Are there any Lookout drivers available for the old Analog Devices 6B modules?

[Khalid]

I could not find any native Lookout drivers (CBXs) for the 6B. However, there are couple of OPC Servers available by third-party vendors:

6b OPC Server from Kepware Technologies

6B TOP Server from Software Toolbox

Alternatively, we could write our own "driver" using the ASCII Object. I faintly remember the 6B command set to be very simple (you will however need their manual; they don't publish the protocol freely). Here's a good tutorial on communicating with devices using ASCII Object.


Hope this helps,

Khalid 🙂
