Kepware

When trying to write the value from TWX to KepServerEx failed and gave following error:       Write to property failed. | Thing name = 'AdvanceTagsTestingDT', property name = 'Channel2_CalculatedTags', reason = conversion of value '632942' to type 'Short' failed.        The Tag is created in the Simulator Channel type and assigned "K0001" as address to the Tag.@slangley @PaiChung Thanks,Shashi.

Is there a way to avoid creating all tags when setting up a new device?     Right now my current workflow is to create all tags then go back into the system and delete tag groups / tags that the client is not using.  I was curious if there is a better way to do this?

Hii PTC Team,   We are using Kepware and the Advanced Tag plug-in with the above-mentioned details and creating complex tags, which are being updated using a Trigger Tag.   The Issue which we have observed is in terms of Complex Tags configuration, normally Complex Tags should triggered when our Trigger Tags are triggered, but we have observed that whenever we are launching Kepware Quick Client. In that particular timestamp also our Complex Tag is being generated.   We are using this complex tag’s XML data over the ThingWorx Platform and in the ThingWorx Platform valuestream, we observed that whenever we launch the Quick Client of Kepware, then the trigger tag is logged with the launch timestamp. We have set Complex Tag logging to be on only when a value is changed in ThingWorx Platform.   We know this shouldn't be happening because Quick Client is just for monitoring data quality and value, but it is happening.  

Hi , Fetching data from SQL database to Kepware tags through ODBC client , but tag values not updating when data updated in sql table. pls see below snap for your reference. if we manually synchronize then its updating. want to update tag value automatically whenever record in sql table updated/added.     Thanks, Vaibhav

Hello Velkumar,   I am also curious on this topic. Were you able to find a solution?   Regards,

Gone through all the TKE Docs, but not able to find the Advances Tags creation in the TKEDo TKE has Advance Tags ? @paic @c_lowy @slangley @CarlesColl @VladimirN @AnnaAn  Thanks,Shashi.

Hello. I am working on a project with ClientAce dll. There are many cases where the application dies due to the following error. Any solution?   Framework Version: v4.0.30319Explanation: The process terminated with an unhandled exception.Exception information:System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException  Location : System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.UInt32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089],[System.UInt32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]].get_Item(UInt32)   Location : Kepware.ClientAce.OpcDaClient.DaServerMgt.OnWriteCompleted(UInt32, Int32, UInt32, std.vector<unsigned int,std::allocator<unsigned int> >*, std.vector<long,std::allocator<long> >*)   Thank you in advance.

As per a use case, there are 100 tags each in a Device of KepServerEx, where KepServerEX is connected to a Single industrial Thing, Which is causing an Performance issue. Isn't possible to connect to different Industrial Connections from a single KepServerEx ?@CarlesColl @c_lowy @slangley @paic @VladimirN @AnnaAn ThanksShashi.

Data refresh delay for about 5 - 25 minutes from PLC to Thingworx by Kepware. We connected Thingworx to PLC by Kepware. But the data refreshing is very slowly. Thingworx update the dat is after datata changed in PLC about 5 - 25 minutes.  How can we set the Kepware  to reduce the delay time to less than 3 seconds?

Connect Kepware Server to ThingWorx Foundation     For info, I am using the following guide : http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_8_hc/en/#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FComposer%2FIndus... To connect the industrial binding, in the guide it showing simulation example, but in my composer it is not displaying. TWX and Kepware is both in my local server.          

Hello, we are using W10 64 bit machines with a simple Access program to get data from Kepware OPC Server with KEPOPCDAAUTO.DLL.

There is use case were File Transfer Need to be done between KepServerEX to Thingworx in the OPC UA. How can it be done ?@paic @c_lowy @CarlesColl @slangley @VladimirN Thanks.

Not able to connect to Thingworx from Kepware , Thingworx is running in Ubuntu server and Kepware is running on a windows server. Attached screenshot of the config done in properties. Thingworx URL: http://<server>:8080/Thingworx/Composer/index.html#/modeler/details/Mashup~MotorDashboardCollectionTrendMashup/design?mode=edit   Error screenshot attached. Please let us know more details on this unknown error.

Is there any process, where one can Replicate same Thingworx Kepware Edge Setup and settings in another Virtual Machine.@paic@slangley@c_lowy@VladimirN  @CarlesColl Thanks,Shashi.

Hi,   Can Kepware connected tags in thingworx be scanned at one rate and be logged(in Value Streams) at different rates. For example, let say a tag OilTemp is set with scan rate of 3 secs and the logging option is checked. Not the data is displayed on a mashup and changes every 3 secs and gets logged simultaneously.   But instead of logging every 3sec, I want the data to be logged at every 1 min. ie. I want the displayed value to be changed every 3secs and wants that data to be logged with 1mins interval in valuestreams. Can it be achieved?   Regards 

Hello Everyone,   I am looking for some knowledge and advice here.  Right now my team is logging data from machines using Kepserver EX6 and its Datalogger feature with the goal of migrating it to our Thingworx server.  We have other Thingworx server and I know it has the import/export feature but I am not sure if this works with data from Datalogger.  Also I do not know if Kepserver has an export feature to allow exporting data to Thingworx seamlessly.  Is there an export feature in Kepserver Datalogger?   Lastly (and I know this is broad in scope) but currently we have one Device per Channel and then we create a new Log Group with each device and log all of their tags/log items in that group.  Is that a industry best practice?  Considering I want to migrate/import this data to Thingworx.   Thanks for your feedback!   -Billy   Ultimately I am just looking for an easy way to migrate the data into Thingworx.  

I installed Kepware enterprise 5.21 on a Windows 7 machine and when the PC is starting, I get the following error message: "failed to start server runtime in service mode this operation returned because the timeout period expired" I installed Kepware many times before and never had this problem. What can it be?

Hello ,  I am not able to find from where we need to download the kepware server 

Hi, Is it possible to fetch the properties like IP, Port of Kepware channels?   Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

Hi there,   Is there any licensing or performance limitation regarding the number of IoT Gateways agents running at the same time the number of tags those IoT Gateways agents are reporting ?   Regards, Nahuel    

Hi!   When a Tag is configured to be reported by the IoT Gateway, the Tag ID is automatically formatted following below convention: <channel>.<device>.<tag> Is it possible to change the dot separator for a dash one? So that the Tag ID looks like: <channel>-<device>-<tag> Regards, Nahuel

We would like to know the approach for automatic device tag Export and import functionality can be carried out.   What is the best approach/ solution using command line script or API method. Please share the details/ code

Dear Experts, We have currently using Kepware V5.20.396.0 and V6.1 on two different platforms, we have plenty number of clients connected to these servers, we are looking to see clients IP addresses to manage access and load on server. Can anyone guide from where I can find it. I have attached snapshot below. Regards, Shabir  

HiInstalled KepServerEX on the Azure VM, and KepServerEX is by default configured with an opc ua Configuration on local host, can this OPC UA Configuration of the KepServerEX can be Connected with the OPC UA Client Connectors ? @paic @slangley @c_lowy  Thanks,Shashi.
