How do I interface Siemens S7-300 to lookout using Siemen's CP5611 Profibus card?

[Vinod_Mathews]

What is the driver I need to use in Lookout 4.5 to achieve this. I tried both S7-HMI & S7-Applicom(MPI), but they give the following errors "Error in Protocol" & Unable to load protocol respectively.

In order to use a Lookout driver object directly you will need one of the following Profibus interface cards: PC-1500PFB, PCI-1500PFB, and PCI-1500S7 - developed by Applicom

However, you could use the OPCclient object in Lookout and connect to a third-party OPC server which communicates w/ your CP5611 board. The following link describes one 3rd party OPC server that I found:

I hope this helps out.
