Kepware

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. The source is:  Private Sub OPCStartup()On Error GoTo ERROR_HANDLERDim i As Integer If MyServer Is Nothing ThenSet MyServer = New OPCServerMyServer.Connect "KEPware.KEPServerEx.V6", "\\SERVERNAME"'Set the default group update rateMyServer.OPCGroups.DefaultGroupUpdateRate = 1000End If If MyGroup Is Nothing ThenSet MyGroup = MyServer.OPCGroups.Add("AnyGroupName")MyGroup.UpdateRate = 100 'mSecMyGroup.IsActive = FalseMyGroup.IsSubscribed = TrueEnd If For i = 1 To OPC_ITEMSIf MyItems(i) Is Nothing ThenMyGroup.IsActive = FalseSet MyItems(i) = MyGroup.OPCItems.AddItem(ItemIDs(i), i)ServerHandles(i) = MyGroup.OPCItems.Item(i).ServerHandleMyGroup.IsActive = TrueEnd IfNextExit Sub on some identically installed PCs we receive some data, with other PCs MS Access crashes. any idea?

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.

I have server PC where I have installed Thingworx and Kepware. I have a doubt if internet access is required for the data flow from Kepware to Thingworx.    

Hi, I am working in a scenario where I have to push configuration json file from repository to   Kepware, but the problem I face is that even though status messages are shown in the industrial connection thing, i am not able to get it into  my mashup. The "ConfigurationPushStatus" property,  which is an integer is the only parameter i could find to that is close to the status message. But there seems to  be very little documentation on that as well. So please help me with a solution to get the status message, if possible please share the ConfigurationPushStatus code and its messages(eg, 0:The Industrial Gateway configuration file was successfully loaded). @paic   

Hi there,   I want to emulate a real discrete manufacturing scenario where parts are produced in a production line. Although this Kepware demo (it is located under the "Load Factory Simulator into ThingWorx Kepware Server" section) has some Assets that may seem under the same production line, when looking at the emulation behavior it can be seen that the parts that one Asset produces are not linked in anyway to the parts produced by any other Asset.   Is there any other Kepware demo or dataset (that could be used as input to emulate within Kepware) closer to reality?   Regards, Nahuel

Hello comunity,   In relation to  AWS IoT and Reducing messaging costs with basic ingest  I wonder if kepware configuration for the IoT Gateway client is able to resolve the topic format of $aws/rules/topic.   Anyone with previous successful experience about this? So far, it doesn't work for me, and I don't see any error/warning messages logs.   Regards,   DJ

Dear Support Team,   I use your Configuration API to export and import Kepware configuration. On the export no problem. During import and an update of a property, I got the error code 401 from the PUT request: reponse.json() = {'code': 401, 'message': 'The supplied user credentials are invalid or do not have permission to complete the requested action.'} I use an administrator user who should have all the access to process the import:   This is my code to perform the PUT request: # open a session session = requests.session()session.auth = (kep_user, kep_password) # ('Administrator', '**')# session.headers.update({"content-type": "text"})# http:// not working, use protocol https:// but don't verify certificate, seems to worksession.verify = Falseadapter = requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter(max_retries=3)session.mount('https://', adapter)session.mount('http://', adapter)   # Send a GET to retrieve PROJECT_ID (response OK) ...   # Send a PUT to update a or more properties:

We are doing a migration from one server to a new server and are adding the SNMP devices to the new server.  We are licensed for 1-15 Kepware SNMP devices and only have 9 devices.  Only on one devices appears to be working properly.  a few tags on other devices work but most do not.   Why is this?

Hi there, I have a mosquitto broker on a remote server and I want to connect to it through Kepware server. As far as I understand I need to add the client certificate and key to the Windows Certificate Store. Can you guide me where should I add the certificates? Thankyou!

I face the same issue but I don't know how to resolve it. the Thingworx is installed in my computer: http://localhost:8443/Thingworx/Composer below is Kepware and Thingworx configuration:
