lookout and allen bradley micrologix

[John Dunlop]

Hi,

Does anybody know (or have experience) of connecting Lookout to an A-B Micrologix
1500?

I guess I could use the RSLink OPC server (or even DDE link) as mentioned
in another post, but I know that the 1500 is very similar to the SLC range
so can I use that?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,
I've used Lookout with Micrologix 1500 and you are correct. We can use the
RSLinx OPC Server to communicate with Lookout Client and actually I wrote
a document that explain how to do that and I'll be glad of sending that to
you if you want. Another option is using PLC5 object in Lookout.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks.
I would love to see that document. Do you know if you can use Linx Lite?

Hi Carlos,

I realize this is a pretty old post but I would really appreciate seeing that document if you still have it. Could you post it here?

If not and you still have it please send it to longd@ctc.com.

Thanks,

Dave
