It is very common to hear the term "client/server application" in use across many software disciplines and business segments. In the industrial market, it 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. It is here that Kepware's KEPServerEX comes into play. 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
Single Server Interface:
Multiple drivers can be "plugged in" to one application which centralizes communications and greatly reduces user learning curves.
Plug-in Device Driver Connectivity:
KEPServerEX supports serial and Ethernet connectivity to the widest range of industrial control systems including: Allen Bradley, AutomationDirect, BACnet, GE, Honeywell, Mitsubishi, Modicon, Omron, Siemens, Texas Instruments, Yokogawa and many more…
