S7-300 Driver for Lookout

Are there any plans to develop a driver object for the Siemens S7-300 PLCs?

The S7-HMI object does supports the S7-300 and S7-400. But I use an OPC driver and S7 to ethernet device from Kepware Technologies (www.kepware.com).

  • CanBus Driver For Lookout

    I'm looking into making a Lookout Application to work with a Danfoss controller.  I've been told it uses the CanBus network for all communication.  Is there a CanBus driver for Lookout 6.0.2?  I didn't see one in the program, but I figured I'd ask just to be sure.  Thanks

    Hello,
    NI Lookout supports communication over several industrial communication
    protocols, but we do not currently have native support for CAN.
    You
    may, however, be able to author a separate translation application to
    convert the CAN messages into a protocol that Lookout is compatible
    with, including ModBus and OPC. There are also third-party OPC servers
    that can publish CAN data that you may wish to consider, but of which I
    am not able to make a recommendation.
    You can find a complete
    listing of protocols and devices supported by Lookout on our website at
    the following link.
    To
    request that we add CAN support to Lookout, please don't hesitate to
    send us Product Feedback at www.ni.com/contact and let our Lookout R
    & D group know about your needs directly.

  • Updated modbus driver for lookout 4.0.1b51?

    Want to use the TCP/IP mode of Modbus to connect over Ethernet. Is there a driver update, the existing driver does not work!

    This was apparently fixed in Lookout 4.5.1:

  • Problems with a driver for PCCAM-300

    I need a driver for PCCAM-300 and I have Windows XP. I've already downloaded two diferent drivers:
    1. PCCAM300DrvsV_04.exe
    2. PCCAM300Drv.exe
    When I tried to install them I had problems because this softwares were not compatible for Windows XP (but when I downloaded them it was suposed to be compatible).
    What can I do?
    Could yo help me to solve this problem?
    Thank you

    Creative Labs PD060 PC-CAM 300 is NOT compatible with WindowsXP! The program might work just for storing photos but it does not recognized the camera! Most site which contained information on the camera says it's compatible with WindowsXP, but it's not! Sorry Creative, try again. http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-...0/dp/B000063YQ

  • Does Lookout have a driver for SLC 5/05 and 1500 over ethernet

    Does Lookout communicate with the AB SLC 5/05 over ethernet and the AB 1500 via the Net DNI over ethernet ?

    Several years ago (back in Lookout 3.8 days) there was ethernet for AB SLC-5/05, it was a choice on the pull down menu for the communications type. It works great.
    then in the days of Lookout 5.X, NI removed the ethernet for AB SLC-5/05. I believe the issue was that some users were having difficulty in understanding the I/O addressing, expecially when they would have an analog input/output card in the chassie. The issue is that RSLogix 'neatly' organizes this I/O table for us, however, NI can only get the I/O table in its 'raw' form. And this caused confusion for users not experienced with how the I/O table is truly layed out. A user can experiment with a bench/test system and see how the I/O is layed out and get a good understanding. But a another method is to write the analog input value to a "N" file address, and use that in Lookout (remember only the I/O is the issue) Also, you can have Lookout write to another "N" file address, and in the SLC, move that "N" address to the Analog Ouput.
    I still have a SLC file for Lookout that has the ethernet enabled (works with Lookout V5.x) but I bet Ryan can send you one if you need it.
    I have upgraded to Lookout V6.2 and making a driver object to talk to AB SLC-5/05 on ethernet works great. (I love native drivers, and hate using RSLinx OEM to do OPC (for out ControLogix5000 processors)
    If a person can work thru how I/O tables are truly layed out (one big matrix actually) go direct and dont' use OPC.
    Remember, this isn't a fault/limitation of Lookout or NI, it is how AB layes out their I/0 table, and how the addressing we see in RSLogix is actually not the true representation of the actual matrix. (and this matrix is all that is actually available, AB just makes it more 'readable' because you (or who ever setup the chassie configuration) told RSLogix what cards are in which slot, so RSLogix can minipulate the table to show it to you more 'pretty'.
    If NI would add a chassie configuration to the AB SLC driver, then this issue would not exist. But I don't think we want to do that.
    Hope this was helpful!

  • Advice on hard drives for a dual 2.5 G5. External/Internal, USB/Firewire ?

    Hey guys-
    I'm using my G5 as my main computer in a home based recording studio and I'm running out of drive space. I currently have the 2 internal drives: MAIN 160 GB (13GB available) & 300 GB (9 GB available) and one USB external 500 GB with 12GB
    available. I know I'm dangerously low on all of them so my question is: what would be the best way to add more space? I'm really concerned on how fast my programs can access the data since I run a lot of instruments and audio samples.
    Should I:
    Buy one large internal drive (1.5TB) and use it as my main drive with the others as back-ups? If so which ones do you recommend?
    Buy an external drive (1.5tb) in either Firewire or USB? I know Firewire is faster but does it matter when it comes to most applications?
    Also, if I go with one large HD either way, would I lose any advantages over say several smaller ones?
    Finally, how is the best way to replace your main drive with a larger one without having to re-install everything all over again?
    Thanks SO much for the help:)

    Hi-
    The best thing that you could do for performance AND space, would be to replace both internal hard drives.
    Install a WD6400AAKS 640GB as boot drive, and have one of the fastest, cool and quiet, 7200 RPM all around performing drives to run system and apps.
    Install a WD1001FALS 1TB Black as the second data/scratch drive for loads of space, high performance and reliability.
    Then, to back it all up, add at least another 1TB firewire drive.
    USB isn't as reliable of an interface as firewire, nor is it as fast (overall).
    Stick with firewire.
    To keep from reinstalling everything, take out the 300GB drive, and install the 640GB (or whatever new boot) drive.
    Use Disk Utility to format the new hard drive.
    After formatting, use SuperDuper! to clone the 160GB drive to the new drive.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    Once the cloning is complete, open System Preferences/Startup Disk, select the new drive as startup drive, and reboot.
    After checking the clone for proper operation (all applications open, Mail works, etc.) remove the 160GB drive and install the new drive in it's slot.
    Install the 1TB drive (or whatever) in slot 2, format it, and you are all done.

  • Can I use an external hard drive for my ipad mini?

    Can I use an external hard drive for my ipad mini?

    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:
    Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

  • Formatting external drive for storage/backup/video files

    Hi,
    I just purchased a 500mb My Book Pro external drive for use with my imac duo which runs Windows XP via bootcamp. This computer is shared by three family with very different skills and needs. My dilemma. I want to format the drive so that the imac can be backed up easily three users. It is formated Fat32 and is supplied with Restrospect Express 7.5 backup software. It would be nice to backup the modestly used windows sector, but that's a secondary consideration. My problem is that one user has a lot of larger than 4 gb video files which are too large the Fat 32 format. My notion is to segment the backup drive so that I leave 300 mb in fat 32 to facilitate backup with supplied software, and segment a second 200 gb drive using mac os extended so that the user can manually move her video files for storage/backup on the backup drive. Is there a simpler solution? For example, if I formatted the entire 500gb as mac os extended, could I still run the retrospect backup software? If not, is there a reasonably priced alternative software? And finally, with either Fat32 or Mac OS extended, can I move files from the Windows platform? Would I be better off just biting the bullet and telling my daughter to make her own arrangements to compress and backup her video files or get her own hard drive, thus leaving the backup drive to the simple factory supplied software solution?

    Hello,
    You're indeed in a pickle. If you use Bootcamp and want the HD accessible via the Mac and WinXP, then you don't want to format it as Mac HFS because WInXP wouldn't be able to access it. If you go FAT32 then both WInXP and Mac OS can access it, but you face the dilemma of the 4GB threshold.
    If you format as NTFS, then you eliminate the 4GB threshold but then Mac OS cannot access it.
    I have a similar dilemma, which is why i use Parallels more than Bootcamp. I have 2 external FW HD's (160GB/250GB), both formatted to Mac HFS. The 160GB i have partitioned as 50GB and 100GB. I have a bootable backup of Mac OS residing on the 100GB partition (yay to SuperDuper!) and some other stuff on the remaining 50GB. The 250GB is exclusive for movies (cough..cough..bittorrent) and for streaming via Orb 2.0 to my Treo. I have WinXP running in Parallels, and Vista Ultimate via Bootcamp. In Parallels, i can access my external HD's via Parallel's Shared Folders but in Vista (Bootcamp) since the HD's are in a non-Windows recognised formatting, they're not accessible (which is a bummer, as i'm loving Win media center).
    What you can do is partition the HD the way you're thinking and format (one part Mac HFS and the other NTFS), but my best recommendation is that with the falling prices of HD's nowadays, why not just get a seperate HD do what you want with it. I spied a WD MyBook 500GB USB HD at CompUSA for $129.99 (no mail-in rebate nonsense) and similar good prices at Bestbuy and Newegg.com.

  • Need installati​on CD's for Lookout V3.8 b16 as originals are lost. How do I get these?

    Original version was purchased and sold to customer as part of system developed for them. V3.8 b16 is registered to customer. Customer now wants some additional development done and an upgrade to PC but does not have the installation CD's for Lookout v3.8 b16. Need to get these so that Lookout can be installed on customers new PC.

    Hi Paul,
    Ideally, your customer should consider upgrading the version of Lookout along with the PC. The most current version is 5.1 and there are many new features that might improve the development over all.
    If you do decide to upgrade, you should also be aware of any driver support changes that might applicable in your system.

  • What is the best audio production hard drive for macbook pro 13" 2.53 ghz?

    I'm new to mac, this has been a big transition.
    I've been looking on newegg and there are tons of choices.
    Looking for a good hard drive for music production in live 8, 7200 rpm has been recommended. Should it be internal or external?
    I'm making minimalist oldschool synthpop so I don't need too many plugins or tracks at once but I am gigging so I want gear that's simple, I love everything about the apogee duet in this respect.
    I have macbook pro 13" 2.53 ghz 4GB ram
    Apogee Duet
    Ableton live 8 standard

    For internal, you can't go wrong with the Hitachi Travelstar. They work very well with the MacBook Pro and right now you can get 300 GB of 7200 RPM for less than 75 dollars at Newegg. You could try that and see if you really need an external given the type of music you're working with.
    If you decide to get an external, I would steer away from all-purpose drives and get one designed for audio, like the Glyph drives. Along the Apogee Duet simplicity lines, they're designed for music production and they just work. Most of them come with carrying cases. Just plug the Glyph into your MacBook Pro, plug the Duet into the Glyph, and that's it.

  • Replacement drives for a Macbook Aluminum.

    I'm thinking to boost performance by replacing the existing drive (160GB 5400rpm) with a larger and faster drive (250 or 320 GB 7200rpm).
    My question: offerings include drives with 1.5 mbps or 3.00 mbps, designated as 150 and 300 respectively. Will a 300 drive be compatible with the Macbook WITHOUT the need of any kind of adjustment, like moving a jumper or something similar? A pre-sales support person at the manufacturer/supplier site answered that no further adjustment would be required. Without prejudice to the support person, I'd very much appreciate feedback from hands-on-job users. Thanks for the attention.

    It all depends on the particular drive. Some 7200 RPM drives seem to be power hogs while others are equivalent to 5400 RPM drives. The older ones definitely did, while some of the newer ones seem to buck the trend of newer 7200 RPM drives using less power.
    Some of the newer 5400 RPM drives with higher data density have effective data transfer rates near or better than some older 7200 RPM drives. Of course the state of the art 7200 RPM laptop drives probably offer the fastest performance.
    As far as the jumper issue goes - it depends on the drive. Some do auto-sensing just fine while others need a jumper. You'd have to check with the manufacturer.

  • SATA 300 drive support

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if a new SATA 300 drive is backwards compatible and will work on the SATA 150 controller in the G5? I know I won't get the higher speed but it seems like hard drive manufactureres are are slowly discontinuing the SATA 150 drives.
    Also does anyone like one manufacturer over another for the SATA drives?
    Thanks
    Harry

    I find as good or better prices on www.zipzoomfly.com and larger selection.
    Check the front page of www.xlr8yourmac.com and Mike's "Drive Upgrade DB" that you can search.
    Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (not .9) ship with 3.0Gbps disabled so they run in 1.5Gbps (150MB/sec) mode and with SSC disabled.
    Hitachi drives are solid, no problems, reliable.
    Another drive to consider is the 10K Raptor. The 150GB model does NOT work if you have PCI-X, you need to have PCI Express/Dual Core G5, not the older style. The earlier 74GB model works fine on both.
    So if you were wanting 750GB, Seagate has one
    And Hitachi has a nice 500GB model. (Seagate does too but you have to get latest firmware, or, that it is the ".10" family.

  • Can not find driver for Thinkpad T500

    I can not find driver for Thinkpad T500? Could you please help me?
    Moderator edit: Matched Subject to content.

    Thanks to the folks at Kepware. I was able to get this working for CompactLogix L32E.
    Step 1: In NI OPC Server Create a new Channel. Channel Name can be whatever you want.
    Step 2: Device driver will be ControlLogix Ethernet.  You can also enable diagnostics if you want.
    Step 3: Network adapter. I used default setting.
    Step 4: Write only latest values.  Duty at 10. ( These are default settings and are recommended.)
    Step 5: Finish new Channel setup
    Step 6: Click on Icon to create new device
    Step 7: Device Name can be whatever you chose.
    Step 8: Select Device Model in this case CompactLogix 5300
    Step 9: Device ID For me was IP Address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,1,0    (Note the 1 directs path to backplane. The 0 to the slot where processor is)
    Step 9: Device timing.  Leave at defaults.
    Step 10: Auto demotion leave unchecked.
    Step 11: Leave at defaults Do not generate on startup Delete on create and allow subgroups
    Step 12: Port and watchdogs at default settings
    Step 13: Project options leave at default. (In my case I changed to short as that is what most of my tags were)
    Step 14: Create tagname from device.
    Step 14: Finish Device setup.
    You now have two options. 
    Option 1: Start creating tags as you need them. (This is what I did)
    Option 2: Right Click newly created device and select properities.  Then select database creation and click auto create.
    Go To Lookout  and create new driver. 
    Select OPC Client
    Server name will be from dropdown menu. National Instruments:NIOPCServers
    Click okay
    You should be done and smiling. 

  • Recomended Drives for HD firwire capture for long doc

    I am startign to cut a long form docuemntary. In all we should have over 100 hours of HD 24/p varicam footage at the end of the project. As of now I am using a dual 2Ghz G5 with 3.5gb of ram. I have a Huge 500gig ATA raid drive. We are considerignng cuttign the project in offline quality an dtehn upresing teh final sequence. If I were to go that route would firewire 800 drives be fast enough for the final 90 min show or shoudl I invest in more SCSI drives. Right now I am considering G- Raid firwire or Lacie big disk extremes. Shoudl I go with the more cost efficient firwire drives or with SCSI. If I go with firwire which brand is better.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    I wouldn't mess with Firewire 800 unless you use a Powerbook. I certainly wouldn't mess with SCSI drives for anything that requires the raw capacity you need.
    Checkout Barefeats.com for some various reviews of high capacity SATA storage devices and PCI adapters. Buy yourself 4 - 400GB drives ($900) and an internal mounting system for G5 such as SwiftData 200 ($300) from transintl.com. Get the 8 port SATA card with the package.
    This gives you 1.6 TB for under $1200. If money is an issue, get 250GB drives as they offer the best bang for your buck right now below $100 each.
    If you realize you need more space with all that source footage, get an external SATA drive bay and more drives.
    I haven't done the math, but 1.6 TB seems like it might be enough for your project... maybe not. If not, just repeat the process above adding more drives until you run out of PCI slots.
    If you edit online, remember to backup your project file regularly on another drive since the big RAID doesn't backup any data itself. 100 hours of DVCPRO HD would be very difficult to backup so I don't know what to say about that. I hope you have access to a deck to bring the footage back online in case of a drive disaster.

Maybe you are looking for
