Kepware

Running state has been configured depending from the property ‘State’ property read from Kepware, State=3 means Running. The property value is correct, and the asset is in Running status but the status week table is not correct. It shows ‘Not Configured’. (see attachment) Any idea? Many thanks! Martina      

Hi, I am using ThingWorx 8.2. I wanted to change the data type of the Kepware Thing in which I have binded the property.  I was able to change it when I was using 8.0Version but once I upgraded to 8.2 I am not able to change the data type of the tag in ThingWorx. The option is disabled.   Please help me to change the data type.   Thanks, Shalini V.

Hello All,   I have a set of data coming from industrial gateway to ThingWorx using Manufacturing Apps Suite and we are successfully polling machine data.  We are using kepware where machine data is pushed initially.    We have a tag called Diameter. The data type of the tag on Kepware side is Float type. On the ThingWorx side, the tag is bound to a thing property of data type Number.   The issue that I am facing is that, For example at Kepware we can see the value of the Diameter tag as 1.6. But when we receive this data in the ThingWorx property, the value is 1.600000023841858.   I would like to understand the reason behind this behavior and also how I can fix this issue and get correct values.   Appreciate all help.   Thanks & Regards, Madhumita

Hi KC,           Tell me where i can find the KepserverEx software to download for licensing and the procedures or installation document for the kepware (How to Download and Install).   Related to post

Hello,   I have 2 buttons in my mashup, "START" and "STOP" buttons. With these buttons I would like start and stop the data entry from Industrial Connectivity. Is it possible? If not, How can I program a simulate data in my thing "Temperature"? And with these buttons start and stop this simulation?   I am trying with one button and  display bind through GetPropertyValues and the click event is working but I don´t know if I have to program a service, event, subscription...   Thank you in advance BR,   Luis

Our Use Case: The plc is connected to Scada, and we want to take the data from SCADA to thingworx through Kepware.   1. How can I take the data from SCADA to kepware. 2. What are the provisions to take the data from SCADA to kepware.  

Hi, I am unable to connect thingworx and kepware. I completed the configuration properly but it is showing following error: Connection to ThingWorx failed. | Platform = localhost:8088/Thingworx/WS, error = could not initialize a secure socket connection.   When i enabled the logging, i found below error: unable to add binding for pre-existing Gateway Thing because existing Thing Template does not derive or match [existing: PTC.Factory.KepServerThingTemplate, provided: IndustrialGateway].   Kindly resolve.

I'm instantiating ThingWorx Industrial Connectivity and it returns the "Hardware Key" and the "Examples and Documentation" with an X which in my understanding means that they are not existing. What would these components be? How do I make the correction?

Dear Community,   my Thingworx installation is connected to a KepWare instance. When having a major impact on my connected Things the connection to KepWare is lost. So far this happens after Tomcat restart when modifying the ThingTemplate Then the IndustrialThing property is still set but the isConnected Flag is false. And this is OK from my point of view, no complains here. I figured out I can easily run a Service to reset the IndustrialThing for all supposedly connected Things, it will automatically establish the connection to KepWare. But at the moment I need to call this Service manually, i. e. my Things will have no connection until someone (me) takes notice.   Is there a kind of "AutoStart" similar to Windows? A set of Triggers/Services or a dedicated Thing that fires after a reboot? Even if there is another solution for my particular problem, I have similar situations (e. g. resetting configuration) and could figure many more where this feature might be helpful. &nbs

I can see they have both same documentations. Can someone help me to highlight the major differences between the same.

Hi,   After connecting KEPServerEX 6 to ThingWorx (isConnected property is true) I want to import tags from devices running in Kepware to properties. Although I the the error of "Unable to execute service BrowseGroups on name of industrial thing" as seen in the picture below. What can be the root cause of this? I get the same error when I try the manage remote bindings on the deviceThing. Thank you in advance  

We were going to connect a Schneider-electic Modbus Device to Thingworks. We have install the Thingworks foundation and die Industrial Connectivity 8.

In this guide you will learn how to connect a Sigma Tile to a computer or server running Kepware KEPServerEX. After downloading and configuring the free trial version of Kepware KEPServerEX, you will be able to experience the power of the Industrial IoT with your Sigma Tile acting as PLC communicating to your server via MODBUS and representing a device, an asset or a line streaming its sensor data: temperature, humidity, pressure, acceleration and acting like a real production asset. You will also be able to control the Sigma Tile LED display from KEPServerEX.

Is it possible to use 1 kepware to multiple thingworx platform. If not, any other possible solutions ?   Thanks & Regards, Sathyanarayanan.M

We want to read data from CNC control units with kepware. How can we get a project file or support? Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi and Mazak.

  Hello,   I am looking to send data from ESP8266 to Kepware [ OPC UA server].   Physical layout: Have an ESP8266 (say 192.168.1.100) with a DHT-11 temperature sensor connected. I can program ESP8266 with Arduino IDE environment. In the same network, I have a Server (say 192.168.1.110), with Kepware KepServer  on it. There is no physical wiring from ESP8266 to the Server.   IN this case, can someone point to some documentation on how to send the Temp values to Kepserver. I am aware of setting a channel on Kepware, creating tag etc. But need some guidance on how to program the ESP8266, and the workflow figured out.   Any documentation or hints would be great. NOTE: I am NOT looking to send data to ThingWorx DIRECTLY from ESP8266 over MQTT or REST.   Regards,    

Hi,    I have connected a KEPServerEX6 to ThingWorx and the isConnected property reads TRUE.  When I try to add properties to the Remotething from a remote binding, no properties are available.I have blurred out some parts of serveradress and thing names due to company resctrictions. Using ThingWorx composer 8.2.4 (no new composer available) and KepServerEX 6  Please see the attached pictures.   Kepserver simulation device: Remote thing: No remote properties: Kepserver thingworx connectivty info

Hi, Is it possible to bind the kepware channels in a combo box and when I choose one channel it should populate the respective tags in that channel.   For eg: If there are two channels, Equipment 2 and Equipment 2, I need to bind these two channels in a combo box. And when I choose Equipment 1 from combo box the tags inside the Equipment 1 has to be populated in another combo box. Same has to be done when I choose Equipment 2.   Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

Hi, I am running Thingworx 8.2 and Kepware 6.3 I followed the guide here : http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_8_hc/en/#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FComposer%2FIndustrialConnections%2FIndustrialConnectionsExample.html%23   When I look at the Thing properties, I see Interface connected. Unfortunately, I can't get "Industrial Connections" section visible.   In Kepware log, I can see errors like : * Date Time Level Source Event3/31/2019 3:42:20 PM Error ThingWorx Native Interface Error adding item. | Item name: ''.3/31/2019 3:42:20 PM Error KEPServerEX\Runtime Attempt to add item 'Hostname' failed.   I can't understand what I am doing wrong, any idea ?   Thanks

I have recently been setting up an industrial gateway based method of connecting property values to Kepware tags. The system consists of two Things...   1.) IndustrialGateway Thing that is connected to the Kepware Server 2.) A RemoteThing which was created when binding a Kepware Tag from the Discover section on the IndustrialGateway Thing to a new Thing   I have confirmed that I am getting tag values in real time for my property values (hooray!). However, in Kepware, I am seeing the attached warning messages constantly.   I do not believe this has anything to do with configuration within Kepware. I believe this has to do with a missing piece in Thingworx related to where persisted values are being stored. I am looking for a starting point for looking into this issue and am looking to learn more about how persisted values are being stored in the back end in general.

Hi, Is it possible to disable the connection of ThingWorx with Kepware at a certain condition like when maintenance alarm is turned on (or) whenever temperature tag is less than 10?   Thanks in advance, Shalini V

I have recently been learned how to connect to kepware and pull in kepware tag data into Thingworx. I am wondering if I would be able to call a service based on a kepware tag reading value change without having to have a mashup open on a screen. Essentially, I would like to take advantage of how quickly Thingworx can trigger events without having to worry about hosting a mashup. Is there a piece of Thingworx functionality that I can look into for more detail about the possibilities of doing this?

Hey all, I'm playing around with the SigmaTile and KepServerEX. I imported the KepServerEX project and it is working fine but I'm trying to understand how it works under the surface. I wanted to replicate the Channel, Device and Tags to set them up myself from scratch, however I don't know which addreses to set for the tags. How to figure out at which memory address each data from the sensors is being stored in on the modbus emulation on the Raspberry Pi? In the original project settings I see for example for the Humidity tag there is the Address 40003. Where is this set/defined, where can I look it up? I searched through the Sigma Tile python code but could not find the answer. Anyone can help with that?   Thanks Boris

Hi, In the OPC Quick Client, Kepware has few default tags like data logger, system tags and scan mode and demotion tags apart from the tags that I create. What is the purpose of these tags? Is there any documentation to learn about these tags and its use? Please provide some ideas.   Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

External email from: Anderson_Perry_6@cat.com I am able to generate the tags and everything looks correct but they will not read the values.  I am using an Allen-Bradley 1769-L16ER-BB1B Compact Logix controller
