Is the Siemens S7-2xx PLC Supported By Lookout Protocol Drivers or Lookout?Primary Software: LookoutPrimary Software Version: 5.1 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software:
Problem: I have a S7-226 PLC and I noticed that one of the drivers included with Lookout is called S7_HMI. However, you can only select 300 or 400 series of PLC for this driver. Is the S7-226 supported by Lookout? Solution: No, the Siemens S7-226 PLC is not supported by the S7_HMI driver in Lookout. However, PCI interface cards exist that will allow you to communicate to a Siemens S7-2xx Series PLC. One example of an interface card is the PCI-1500S7 manufactured by Applicom. This device can communicate with the Siemens S7, as well as several other Siemens PLCs. After you have installed and configured the PCI-1500S7 card and installed the accompanying software, you can access the PLC from Lookout. The driver you would use in Lookout after setting up the PCI-1500S7 is the S7PPI_Applicom driver. Related Links: Applicom Attachments:
