Can not find driver for CompactLogix L32E in NI OPC server

[WaterWorks]

Does anyone know how to Communicate with CompactLogix L32E with Lookout 6.5. 

There does not appear to be a driver for this in the NI OPC Server.  Can anyone point me in the right direction.

I thought the ENI:CompactLogix 5300 might work but it does not.

NI OPC with Lookout 6.7.1 has a driver I used for an L31, was not in the 6.2 release version

Thanks to the folks at Kepware. I was able to get this working for CompactLogix L32E.

Step 1: In NI OPC Server Create a new Channel. Channel Name can be whatever you want.

Step 2: Device driver will be ControlLogix Ethernet.  You can also enable diagnostics if you want.

Step 3: Network adapter. I used default setting.

Step 4: Write only latest values.  Duty at 10. ( These are default settings and are recommended.)

Step 5: Finish new Channel setup

Step 6: Click on Icon to create new device

Step 7: Device Name can be whatever you chose.

Step 8: Select Device Model in this case CompactLogix 5300

Step 9: Device ID For me was IP Address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,1,0    (Note the 1 directs path to backplane. The 0 to the slot where processor is)

Step 9: Device timing.  Leave at defaults.

Step 10: Auto demotion leave unchecked.

Step 11: Leave at defaults Do not generate on startup Delete on create and allow subgroups

Step 12: Port and watchdogs at default settings

Step 13: Project options leave at default. (In my case I changed to short as that is what most of my tags were)

Step 14: Create tagname from device.

Step 14: Finish Device setup.

You now have two options. 

Option 1: Start creating tags as you need them. (This is what I did)

Option 2: Right Click newly created device and select properities.  Then select database creation and click auto create.

Go To Lookout  and create new driver. 

Select OPC Client

Server name will be from dropdown menu. National Instruments:NIOPCServers

Click okay

You should be done and smiling.
