Lookout 5.1 comm error Allen Bradley 1784-PKTX

[jdavis01]

I have and Allen Bradley network on a 1784-PKTX card. When I configure an object to use this card I only get the ISA version 1784-KTX model. Is there new drivers available and what are the recommended ways of using this particular PKTX card with Outlook 5.1. I appreciate any and all answers to this post

Have a look at this KB. It seems that Lookout doesn't support 1784-PKTX card.

One possible way is to use some other OPC Servers, and run Lookout as OPC Client.

I have RSLINX Classic which has a gateway built in and allows multiple connections to the OPC Server. I was just trying to get rid of the Allen Bradley Software so I don't  need to continue their software support which is outragously high !!!!    I appreciate your help in resolving this issue

Have a great day
