There are alarms for the plant items, but no alarms for the system, the conection seems to be intact as it is reciveing the information for the rest of the project, we are using an amplicon card to gather the information from an s7 plc, its as if data is allowd in but when you enter data on the Lookout it's not getting sent to the PLC.
I did open the .lks file and have it recompiled, but in order to get a successfull recompile I had to go through the file using a text editor and change all the instances of alarm groups starting with a number and change them to text.
If you operate a switch which in turn should be sent to the PLC, it wait for a few seconds then puts the switch back to its original state.
