Kepware

Dear allWe have OPC DA connection to the system having RSLinx Remote OPC server. Kepware is disconnecting frequently from the RSLinx system. Where as it is running fine from the development environment with same configuration. Kindly suggest troubleshooting methods for the same. Kepware Name and version: Thingworx Industrial Connectivity 8.3.65 Here is the error messageDate Time Level Source Event9/18/2023 12:10:18 PM Warning OPC DA Client Failed to connect to server on channel 'Group-2'. 

I have a UCON driver that is collecting scale data over TCP. The driver will work for a long time then suddenly stop working and begin displaying the data as "bad". When I connect to the device with putty I still receive the string data it is supposed to be receiving, but the driver is not collecting it or displaying any errors. When I reinitialize Kepware it begins working again. This happens randomly, it could be days or months before this will happen but it is a problem that I need to reinitialize since we are using Kepware for our data historian. I have tried using a stop character in the string received and have recently just tried stopping after a certain number of bytes, but I don't feel that is the problem since the stop character is always the same termination character.What would cause the UCON driver to stop sending/receiving TCP messages without any errors? Is there an error log somewhere for UCON drivers?Is there any way to correct this? Kepware version V6.4.321.

Hi, Setting up an ODBC client for the first time here. When I use fixed table Kepware throws an error after the setup saying "Kepware is unable automictically generate tags" . When I go to manually create the tags I'm not sure what to put in the Address section of the Data Properties, as there are no hints available/populated.  Thanks

I have installed Kepware 6.15.154 while installation I have not asked about username and password.After installation when  click on Setting it asking for password. What is default admin password.Also it was not connecting to thingworx.

Not sure if what I want to do is possible, I can't find anything solid saying yes or no. I am using Kepware now to log data to an SQL Database when a tag changes. I would also like it to create a CSV file at the same time automatically. Is this something that can be done inside Kepware? Tyring to keep everything in one place if possible. Thanks!

Hi Team,We have Fanuc molding presses that we want to collect molding data from using OPC UA through the Linki 2 opc server (it is a fanuc software that acts as an opc server amongst other functionalities) But it uses euromap 77 standard and Event based data reading, not subscribe.https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/fanuc-linki-2-euromap-77/90995https://www.fanuc.eu/hu/en/iot-solutions/roboshot-linki2In addition, what is the event base data reading. because in our kepware it is come up with exception and poll based.https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS397586https://community.ptc.com/t5/Kepware/Euromap-77-and-OPC-UA-client/td-p/943756

We have connected Mitsubishi FX1N, 2N, 3G and Omron PLC to the KEPServerEX using respective drivers through ethernet encapsulation mode and all PLCs are communicating with KEPServerEX as expected. However, we are facing the issue in Mitsubishi FX1N PLC when connected to KEPServerEX using the driver Mitsubishi FX through physical medium as ethernet encapsulation. Ethernet encapsulation is performed through MOXA Nport (TCP server Mode).Observation1) The communication between KEPServerEX and FX1N PLC is success and can be able to read PLC register data as expected.2) But whenever PLC get power restarted, observed abnormal/random values in PLC registers (Only in FX1N PLC).3) If KEPServerEX connection removed then no such observations noticed in FX1N PLC

Hi all, I have been experimenting with the Kepware Configuration API, specifically creating tags. I see that the data types in the API (EX: "servermain.TAG_DATA_TYPE": 21) are integer form, but I am unable to find a table that shows which data type converts to which integer, and when I create a tag without putting in a data type in the content it doesn't seem to automatically get the correct data type. Anyone know what integers correlate to which data types? Thanks!

Hello dears from the ptc community, I am reaching out to seek assistance with an integration issue I am experiencing. In may company, we have a machine with a Rockwell setup that includes a CPU 1756-L72S paired with a 1756-L7SP (partner) and a 1756-EN2T in slots 0, 1, and 2 respectively, within a 9-slot chassis. All remaining slots in this chassis are currently occupied.Additionally, within the same panel, we have a remote rack also in a 9-slot chassis, featuring another 1756-EN2T for Ethernet communication with the CPU. This remote rack has a single spare slot available in position 8. The communication between the Ethernet cards in the main and remote racks is done by a Stratix 5700 (1783-BMS10CGP). Following the implementation of this project, I have been tasked with connecting our process information management system OPC server, specifically KepserverEX 6, to the machine to make available a complete set of controller tags. To use the spare slot in the remot

Hello,I am struggling with developing a transaction by request, I mean I don't want a Command to be sent to my device by scan, I want this another command to be sent by request from an external tag, Attached in the image is the set of steps that I am executing, so I want before step 02 to verify if this external tag has been triggered (I want a static boolean tag). Somebody could help me with this,Thanks in advance.Belkis Contreras. 

Kepware last version absolute till now

I have created simulation channel and started logging in the SQL using DSN.However, the logging interval condition is 1 minutes. TImestamp is used for System.I facing issue that ms timestamp is increasing sometimes, and after few hours it will increase in 1 sec.  How to keep second data constant.

I am completely inexperienced in using KEPServerEX. I am already download KEPServerEX 6 demo version. Our company is currently implementing a project that will deploy the use of KEPware. I want to ask whether I need a license to use during the product development phase or not. If I want to use a driver that is not available in KEPWare's library, what do I need to do? Thanks a lot.

Hello Team, We are having Two Kepware for tunneling OPC DA to UA. First Kepware is installed Locally with OPC DA server in source, Second one is in L2 system to connect first Kepware as OPC UA client. Issue is whenever OPC DA server or OPC UA server got disconnected  from source with L2 Kepware, it's Quick Client hold the last good Value with quality Bad. As soon we open new QC it shows unknown value. Can you please explain me about this phenomenal?  If you do any have whitepaper please share with us. Due to this above issue, MES captured the last hold  bad Values from L2. 

Hello, We have a machine connected to KEPServerEX via OPC UA.We have a challenge in seeing the machine events through Kepware while we can see these data in an alternative OPC.How can we do to be able to see the machine events in Kepware? Thanks

Hello,I am new to Kepserver. Unfortunately, I switched the runtime from Service to Interactive mode in KepserverEx. Now I have changed it back to Service mode, but the DCOM settings are gone and I can't see the tags in Quick Client. However, the connection between Kepserver and Thingworx seems to be good, as I can see the realtime values in Thingworx.Experts, please help me solve this issue.Thanks,Sk

Hi all, I have been familiarizing myself with the Kepware Configuration API, specifically creating and accessing tags from thingworx using the API. I have been able to create normal tags using the API, however, I am struggling to find out what the endpoint URL should be for advanced tags.  I use the endpoint in the following format to get all the channels: /config/v1/project/channels This endpoint gets me all of the channels in my Kepware environment, but I can't find where the _AdvancedTags channel is for accessing the advanced tags and creating new ones. If anyone has been able to access the _AdvancedTags through the API please let me know. Any feedback is greatly appreciated thanks!

Hi,I need to monitor a certain tag, specifically I am monitoring a tag that records a temperature.I would need to set a boolean tag to 1 when a certain temperature threshold is exceeded. When the problem returns, I would need to reset the boolean tag to 0. How can I set this condition with Kepware?

hello,  i'm a new user of thingworx plateform. I have ,no data on one of the machines so i checked the connection kepserver/client and there is this error : Channel failed to connect. | Status description = 'Could not establish a network connection to remote server.', Status code = 0X80AC0000. Any ideas why this is happening and how to solve it ?  Many thanks 

Hello,   Due to security reasons i would like to create the schema architecture as it is depicted to the attachment file.Is it possible to have a kepware server to my our IT network and get data from another one from OT Network?If yes , could you please give some guidelines about that?       Thank you,

Is it possible to create a Modbus TCP/IP slave using Kepserver v5.19 with Modbus TCP features? I've created a new channel and a new device with the IP address as the computer I am using and with Modbus address 1. I then tested using a Modpoll software on the same computer and I was able to get data from the Kepserver. But when I tested a different computer to poll the modbus addresses, I cant establish a connection. Is there something missing in my setup?

Hi We are trying to connect new PLCs to a kepware server. The PLCs are Omron CP1L and CJ2M models. We already had one CJ2M PLC connected to ignition and it is already working, but it's the only one working. Wen we try to connect them directly to Ignition it works and we can read tags. On ignition we are using the default values for the nodes. Why would it not work on kepware? Sometimes one of the test PLC we were adding to Kepware worked but it caused the already working CJ2M PLC to stop working. So it seems we can only connect one Omron PLC at all time on kepware. I saw a documentation that talked about multihoming on the host server, would that be worth a shot or is there something I'm missing? Note that all PLC are on a separate IP address and channel on Kepware. Also, Ignition and Kepware are running on the same server.  

I would like to show on the dashboard that how many devices are connected and out of those devices how many are communicating over KEPServerEX 6.9.

Hi Team,We are using kepware V 5.14 and ODBC driver and receiving the error.Error - "Unable to connect to data source on channel__,Device"--" (reason: 'Memory allocation failure').
