Why can I only communicate one way on lookout 5.0?

We made some additions to our Lookout 5.0 program and now we only have communication one way. We receive fine from our PLC which is a Smar LC700 to the lookout but we cannot send from Lookout to the PLC. We are use the Smar LC700 OPC server. I have tried removing and replaceing the connnections using edit connection and every now and then we'll get two way communication but it will either work showing a com error or if it works without error it does not last long before we are only receiving from the PLC again.

I have used the Lookout OPC Client many times to connect to devices and have not had an issue with sending data to the External OPC server.

It looks like a bug we fixed in Lookout 6.0.2. Give me your email address. I'll send you a fix for version 5.
