RSLinx Enterprise with Lookout 6.1

[Wayne I. Vernon Jr.]

Is there anyway to use RSLinx Enterprise with Lookout 6.1?  I have a project that is using CompactLogix controllers and already have Lookout installed on the SCADA computer.  I am using two ethernet radios to talk to the controller, but I have no clue how to configure RSLinx Enterprise to talk to Lookout.
For the record, I do have my license installed!

Thanks in advance!

Use OPCClient object in Lookout to connect the RSlinx OPC Server.

Take a look at this article. https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000x0enCAA&l=en-US

The Enterprise edition of Linx is nothing like the examples that you gave links to.  It was specifically made for FactoryTalk devices like ControlLogix and CompactLogix.  I have setup RSLinx Gateway as an OPC server for Lookout, but that's not the same software as Enterprise.
Could you give me more information on setting up Lookout with RSLinx Enterprise?

Lookout can communicate with other software by OPC or DDE. I have no experience of the Enterprise you said, but if it has an OPC Server to provide the data from PLC, just follow the KB I gave you to setup the OPC client in Lookout to connect the OPC Server. Or if Enterprise has DDE, it's another way to make the connection.
