I am very new to Lookout. This may seem like an easy thing to do, but I am not finding out how to output a discrete signal from an analog input signal. The analog input is a temperature, and if the temperature (or multi inputs) go above a certain value, it should send an output signal to the discrete output channel. I have been able to create the input and the output, I just don't know how to link them.
Not sure if this answers your question, but if you need Lookout to write a value to a PLC you would use 'edit connections' on the PLC object's writable member (right click for pop-up).
Thank you so much for your reply. It is not quite what I am looking to do. I am monitoring temperatures and from 1 or more of these temperatures, should it reach a specific value (say 100 °F), how can I connect these high values to activate an output? What I am looking to do, is to wire the output to an E-Stop panel. Maybe even easier, can we "connect" alarms such as HiHi to an output?
