Hello - I recently purchased a used piece of equipment. After receiving the equipment
and studying the manual it indicates that NI Lookout software is used for the
SCADA. The included CD contains folders with Lookout backup and PLC program
backup. I don’t see a copy of Lookout.
I am not familiar with how this type of design works and would like some help
identifying what I need to make this machine work.
Inside the Lookout backup folder are 3 files
powdertestpress.l4p
powdertestpress.lks
ab1_data members (xls)?
The disc is dated 2004
The PLC’s are Allen Bradly and there is also reference to Rockwell Micrologix
1500
My sense of it is that I need a copy of the Lookout Software, but I’m a
neophyte when it comes to this stuff.
Thank you

Open the LKS files in Notepad, it will show which version it is.
You can download the demo/evaluation version of Lookout to give it a run.
