Kepware

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:

Hi,Installed KepServerEX 6.10 and it gets closed automatically when Opened@paic  @slangley @c_lowy Thanks,Shashi

I downloaded free trial ThingWorx like 2 months ago and now I have downloaded the Kepwares free trial.   After do this I reload my PC and now I cannot acces any more to Thingworx, I've tried to reload the pc and the platform dozen times but doesn't work. Some idea?   Thanks so much community!

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:  

HI I try to create a thing linked with the Kepware Server ....it was working really well with the trial version but with the license is not working..   i created the industrial connection with Kepware and is working well   I can read all the tags from kepware with the Discover function of the industrial connection I created a thing with the bind function but the new thing still alway disconnected     here the log Im sure that someone can help me ...thank you 🙂  

I have a thingworx instance where SSL certificate is not there. I want to connect that instance with a Kepware without SSL.   I have set Trust self signed certificate to false but still the connectivity is not established.  

We have an IIoT application built on Thingworx and Kepserver monitoring hundreds of machines in a manufacturing setting and corresponding Kepserver Ping Drivers to monitor their power on states. We're currently running Thingworx 8.5.6-b110 and KEPServerEX 6.10 and we are encountering issues with properties of Industrial Things that extend the PTC.Factory.DeviceThingTemplate stopping communication with their bound tags in Kepserver, despite the Thing reporting being connected.   Typical solutions have been to execute the RestartThing service on the affected Things. Occasionally, rebinding a single property fixes all of them when RestartThing does not work.   Has anyone else encountered this behavior? Any troubleshooting steps or tips we should be taking?   One other thing to note, when we restart Thingworx, all of the Industrial Things start in a disconnected state. So we have a service that is periodically triggered by a timer that will find disconnected Things

Hi I'm want just to graph random data value from kepware to a chart in a mashup but I can not achieve this goal. I can do it with a gauge or LED display but not with a Chart. Some idea? Have i to save the data before in a data storage or something?

Hi,   The OPC UA client documentation explains only about the option of user authentication by user name and password. Is there also support for user authentication through a certificate?   I have an OPC UA server on which I trusted the Kepware OPC UA client driver certificate.But in order for the OPC UA server to know who is connecting it is not working with user name and password, but expects a user certificate. I don't find any documentation on such configuration with Kepware, might be a product limitation.   Best regards, Dennis

Hi,An issue with importing the Kepware tags whenever we import Kepware tag industrial thing is getting disconnected. After that manually binding tag, the industrial thing connected again. But there more than 1000 Kepware tags which are practically not possible to bind manually.Thingworx version 9.1   Thanks   

Hi friends i need support to recuperate kepware licence that i have no acces more, to the machine originally installed. Need i open especial ticket to this resolution? Can you explain how i open this especial ticket? Tks 

Hello everyone, I'm new to TWX w/ Kepware. I've create multiple "remote thing" from "industrial gateway". Which is better? To create many "remote thing" (based on groups) or one "remote thing" (no grouping). I'm concerned about communication performance. Pls advise. Thanks

Hallo,   is it possible to connect Raspberry Pi 4 to Kepware Server and read data in Thingworx? I have already connected vie Microserver. I just ask it is possible that another way Thnx BR Vladimir

Hello! I wonder if someone can explain the behaviour of KepServer described below. I couldn't find anything similar online.   Context: I'm building a POC of an application with an OPC UA client in it. For that I'm using node-opcua opensource product.  I'm using KEPServerEX 6.10 as an OPC UA server.   Use case: I have a basic script that reads a value attribute from the server. The node is pre-configured and comes out of the box with Kepware Server. Node ID is ns=2;s=Simulation Examples.Functions.Sine1. The script establishes a connection with the server, creates a session, reads a values, closes the session, disconnects from the server.   Expected behaviour: Each script invocation should return a simulated sinusoid value.   Actual behaviour: First script invocation returns 0 (zero) value. Response status code is 0 (Good). Subsequent request if it happens within 5 seconds, returns a legit sinusoid value, e.g. 0.20106108486652374. I figured "Tag Cache T

I have the Kepware tags, but there is no data from tags, is there a way to generate Random data from the kepware software based on the tags, some kind of simulation?@c_lowy can you help me out with this?

Hi,   We have done a Modbus connection to Kepware to fetch an Energy meter data. The modbus driver is running in an edge PC pushing energy meter data to Keware every 2 secs. But the data is not properly updating in Kepware and has a delay update of more than 1-2 mins(in Quick client).  We cross verified with ModScan(Instead of Kepware) and there we were getting data every 2 secs We checked with the below senarious. 1) Channel's ScanMode was set to Respect Client-Specified Scan Rate. 2) Changed Channel Scan mode and scan rate to various values (below 2000 ms) None of these worked.   Regards, Sri1

Hi,   I wanted to know the differences between KepserverEX and Thingworx Kepware Edge.   Currently, we are working on a project, where 5 machines will have their own Industrial PC( running on Ubuntu) with drivers installed for capturing sensor data. The captured data is then sent to a Server(Windows ) where KepserverEX will be running. My question is : can we install this Thingworx Kepware Edge on all the 5 edge PC and connect directly to Thingworx, instead of connection it to a single Kepware. What is the difference between both these above setups, is one better then the other? if so how?   Regards, Sri1 

Hi,   We are using KEPServerEX in one of our project setup(with services and connections). This setup should restart by itself when the server on which its running is restarted. Among the other elements in the setup I need KEPServerEX also to start itself (running as an Administrator). How do I configure this in Kepware.     Regards, Sri1
