Kepware KEPServerEx OPC Software

Use Kepware KEPServerEX OPC software that is designed to allow quick communication setup to your control systems using a wide range of available “plug-in” device drivers and components. With support for the Modbus RTU protocol and over 130 others. getting data to your client software is easy. KEPServerEx provides a common user interface for all drivers, providing consistent access from your client applications via Certified OPC or native interfaces.

The term “client/server application” in the industrial market has often come to mean the sharing of manufacturing or production data between a variety of client applications ranging from human machine interface software and data historians, to large MES and ERP applications. In order for client applications to get data, they must connect to a server that will retrieve it for them in a standard form. The problem is that there are many devices and systems in the industrial market that you might want to get data from, but each may speak a different “language” or protocol.

The DGH Modbus compatible data acquisition modules are ideal for use with Kepware products, leveraging the internal Modbus driver support for communications. The Modbus product lines include analog and digital I/O modules for performing measuring and control functions within a new or existing system. The modules are capable of measuring industrial sensors and controlling devices such as annunciators or valves. Along with the native software interface, users can easily configure the software, monitor and control systems, and communicate data to other software applications.

The KEPServerEX’s job is to get device and system data and translate it into a standard communication protocol (OPC or DDE) that all clients can receive and understand.
