Kepware

Hi, I moved a few licenses between computers. One of the licenses appears to be "good", but anytime I use it the log indicates it is time limited... After 2 hours, the driver does indeed stop. Is there anything I can do to enable this activation if it is not in an active support contract? The other licenses moved without issue. The original computer was KepServerEX 6.9 and the new computer is 6.10. Are licenses tied to Kep versions?

Hi all, I have a KepwareEX V 6.15 Server connecting against several S7-1500 via OPC (OPC UA Client) now I would like to forward the SimaticAlarmsAndConditions (ns=3;i=1815) via KepWare to my alarm client. Is that possible? It seems that the needed type are not supported. Registering on that node I receive a BadMonitoredItemFilterUnsupported Error.

Hello again, I have a question regarding how Kepware, using OpenProtocol handles the Job Info commandset. I have been told by an AtlasCopco representative, that before sending a Job Number via the message "Select Job" (MID38) to the PF6000 device, I must send a seperate message: MID30 "Job Number upload request".  0030Job numbers upload requestOpen, FEP Based on the documentation available to me, I can see that the Job Number Data command set uses MID30, then use MID31 to request information.However, because the values in the Job Number Data commandset are Read-Only, I do not think I can explicitly send this UploadRequest(MID30) before setting the JOB_JOBNUM value. (MID38)  As such, I would appreciate the following information.Does setting the JOB_JOBNUM value via KepwareOPC, automatically send a upload request message (MID30), then the Select Job(MID38) message to the device?If setting the JOB_JOBNUM does not automatically send a upload request message, h

Hi I've Lincoln electric power supply and wanted to get data out of it which has communication protocol as Arclink or checkpoint!Do kepware has on its product map to include this protocols?

I want to set up a OPC UA connection between two kepserver instances is this possible and if how? 

I have a sensor connected to IO-Link Master. Reading temperature over Modbus communication. According to IODD file, we can get the temperature by reading only 14 bit of the word(16 bit) leaving 2 LSBs i.e. first 2 bits.How can it be acheived in Kepware?

Hi there, I am trying to create a dummy tags. One for Boolean and one for string with the Yokogawa GX Ethernet driver & OPC-UA and I got this idea from this post but the addresses B0001 and S0001 are not the same for this driver. My question is how do I make a Boolean dummy tag and String dummy tag for Yokogawa GX Ethernet driver & OPC-UA.  Previous Post: https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/How-AMU-attribute-logging-works/m-p/930097#M65531)

Hello everyone,I’m seeking guidance on a specific issue I’m encountering with a MODBUS RTU device connected through KepserverEx.Previously, we communicated directly with the device, and we were able to modify its serial number (S/N) using a custom-built frame. However, we’ve since transitioned to using a KepserverEx server for communication, and I’m unsure how to perform the same operation in this new setup.Here’s the current situation:The MODBUS RTU device is successfully connected and communicating through KepserverEx.We have access to the following suites in KepserverEx: IoT Gateway, Modbus, and Advanced Tags.I can unlock the device's electronics and enable it to enter the mode required to modify the serial number.The issue lies in accessing and modifying the S/N parameter via the KepserverEx server.Thank you in advance for your help! Any pointers or guidance will be invaluable.Best regards,

Folks, I have an issue with KepserverEX connecting to an Emerson Floboss 107. We can run Radzio! modbus master and pull valid 16-bit integers and IEEE floating point values via modbus TCP. In KepserverEX I have created channels for modbusTCP, used Fisher serial drivers with ethernet encapsulation and various other drivers. When viewing diagnostics, there are messages about authentication issues. I have verified the user ID, password and access levels in the Floboss. I have tried no authentication on the ethernet port, user ID AND user access level and verified the corresponding settings in Kepserver with no luck. KepserverEX diagnostics show NO data being moved either direction. I assume this is due to authentication issues.  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ray Taff

We are trying to collect data from an Allen-Bradley SLC5/05 PLC on the RS232 port using a A-DH485R/B router (https://www.prosoft-technology.com/Products/Gateways/Aparian/DH485-Router) between the PLC and the Kepware machine. The communication between PLC and the router seems to be up and running. We were able to create a local HMI application and see PLC tag values using the router.  However, we were not able to collect data in Kepware using following settings:      172.31.12.7 is the IP address configured on the router.    Port 44818 was automatically assigned as local port of the router. The router was configured according to the attached manual.  Anyone with experience with collecting data from Allen-Bradley PLCs using a A-DH485R/B router between? Are there any other configurations in Kepware you suggest that we should try in order to make the data collection work?  

My workplace is using KEPServer EX 6.13, and has several MQTT agents sending temperature data from our AC units to a database via a broker. We moniter the temperatures in an application called Grafana. Grafana queries the database for this information.  I don't know the whole setup in full detail yet.Here's the thing. The database receives the MQTT messages, but sometimes the |DESCRIPTION| goes blank, and stays blank until I manually stop/start every single agent manually. That fixes it, but only for a while... When the problem occurs, all messages are still sent and received, and contains the temperature |VALUE|s, but with the description blank, Grafana can't tell what's what and collapses all the temperature graphs into a single broken one. Also, there is always one or two agents who do continue to send their |DESCRIPTION|, even thought the rest of them won't. That fact especially drives me kind of nuts.😂 Just to clarify, here's an example of what the MQTT broker

Kepware Quick Client showing differenct time from the server time. Is there any way to fix this issue

Hi guys, I'm trying to pull data from 3 different Rockwell PLCs, however the data is reading and writing incredibly slow! I added the PLC to another Kepserver and it polled the data instantly. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong and why it is so slow? KepServerEX 6.17, V6 17.240.0

when uploading the license activation response, I get an error that trusted storage is not available. Please help me 

I'm using kepware datalogger. I have configured different DSN for different table login purposes. All the loggers were working fine in the application server. And suddenly this happening randomly for dataloggers Unable to query recordset on Log Group Reason: ConnectionWrite (send()).General network Error. Does anyone have any idea what this error means and how to resolve it ? Already the application is in live mode. But this is happening randomly. Network side everything was good having good ping.  

No errors that I know of but the server was rebooted around 7pm last night and the Ignition HMI server could not get any data until I logged into the KEPServerEX server and opened the KEPServerEX Configuration client. I did nothing else, This has happened before. How do we make sure that the OPC UA connection survives a reboot?

Hi I've one lincoln electric(Arc Tracker) device which supports ethernet communication, which has LTAPP protocol for their application to talk over it. How can i get those data in kepware using LTAPP?

I’m having trouble testing the Kepware server with Python and OPC UA because there’s no way to set an admin password. This makes it tricky to test authentication properly and get my scripts to work the way they’re supposed to.What I Need:It would be super helpful if there was an option to set an admin password so I can:Test Python scripts using the OPC UA library with proper authentication.Simulate secure setups for OPC UA workflows.Make sure everything works like it would in a real-world environment.Why It’s a Problem:Without an admin password, I can’t properly test authentication, which makes it hard to validate my scripts or simulate real-world scenarios. It’s holding me back from getting everything running smoothly. Anyone have a suggestion? I just need to gather synthetic real time data to push to 3d models in USD 😃 

Hy, I'm currently adding several OMRON PLC's (CS1G-H), all of the same type and equipped with the same Ethernet card (EIP21). One of the PLC's is working fine, but the other two are not collecting data. The only noticeable difference is the unit number for the Ethernet card. The working PLC has the default unit number set to 0, while the others are set to 2 and 3. Do I need to adjust this in the FINS protocol settings to resolve the issue? 

Has anyone had any luck pulling data from Yaskawa robot controllers using a Kepware Driver?
