LOOKOUT linking with Siemens S7-200 PLC.

[JaimeHerrera]

I currently have a project involving the use of LOOKOUT to remotely control a motor which opens and closes a highway on-ramp.

I would like to control the Siemens S7-226 PLC via my laptop using the LOOKOUT software to verify that the PLC can actually open and close the gate.  Local functions operate the gate via pushbuttons.

The alarm window shows comm. port 2 not being opened.

How can I change this port to my laptop's comm. port 1, which is where the PC/PPI cable is connected to?

I can communicate with the S7-226 PLC using the PC/PPI cable and S7-200 application software.
