Connect Lookout 5.0 to PLC5 using SST 5136 SD DH+

[EddieZack]

Hi,
I'm from Purolite (ex Virolite) Romania Company, and we have some problems
configuring Lookout 5.0. We used lookout with Allen Bradley PLC5. The interface
between them was 1784 KTX supported by lookout. Now we are running out of
this boards, so we bought a SST 5136 SD board. This card seems to be also
supported by lookout, to use it as DH+ (Data Highway Plus) interface with PLC5. But
we cannot configure the board to work with lookout. Can you please offer us
some help?

Thanks in advance.

What's the alarm message in Lookout?

Is it a PCI card or ISA card?

It is It is a PCI card, Ryan..

EddieZack,

Hope Barna Dobai has forwarded the message to you.

The PCI SD card is not supported. One option for you is to use the RSlinx OPC Server. Actually the NI OPC Server shipped with Lookout 6.2 supports it but you have to upgrade Lookout.
