Kepware

Hello,     I need to store tags values from KEPServerEX in SQLite database.     How can I do this?    Thanks in advance. Regards

Anyone has experiences in connecting with IMM through Euromap 77 by using OPC-UA client driver?From what I know Euromap77 is OPC-UA based, so I suppose we can use OPC-UA client driver to collect data. And if don't use OPC-UA client driver, is there anyway to connect through Euromap 77?

About connecting Toyo IMM, when I read document of Euromap63, there is a block diagram that display the connection which tells Machine in Plant floor --> Share Folder--> OPC Server.Please verify me if OPC Server right here is Kepware or maybe some other OPC Server? Besides, I want to ask anyone who has already connected through this way that how the Machine in Plant Floor can attach/export their files to the share folder in order to the response when Kepware gives the request? Will It need to be required extra coding or maybe involved the Toyo IT support to do this? Or need IoT gateway?

It appears that we are encountering difficulties when incorporating MTConnect devices into our system. These devices appear to be consuming significantly more memory compared to other devices. Specifically, after adding 23 MTConnect devices, Kepware crashes upon reaching the memory usage limit. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Hi~ all.  I'm Kim.  I'm inquiring because there is a function I need while setting KepwareExServer up.How can i convert decimal value to ascii Character with kepwareEx Server?PLC only send string value by ascii code(ASCII numbers to srting.)for example value 65 to 'A' or 065066 to 'AB' I would like to thank you in advance.

Good day,I'am currently working on project that involves connecting 2 SCADA systems/servers (Cimplicity software from GE) with 5 Allen-Bradley PLCs (1x 1756-L85E, 4x 1756-L81E) via OPC-UA. Setup; There are 2 SCADA servers (A and B), they both have Cimplicity running with redundancy setup A=Master, B=Backup. Each server has KEPServerEX 6 installed on it with the same connection setup.PLCs: There is the main PLC L85E that takes care of almost everything and 4 smaller once (L81E) for some fast calculations and motions.The biggest problem that I have now is with the communication with the main PLC. The smaller once have no problems. Just having one server running gives us problems. Kepserver is losing it's connection with the main PLC almost every time we are doing  online changes in the PLC logic (Socket error occurred receiving data. Error=10054,..An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host). Second problem is that it takes 2-5 seconds to see something ch

Hello, I think I need some help configuring some Datalogger Trigger settings. I have a set of tags that I wish to record during a specific operation where the frequency of the logged data should match whenever the value of a single monitor tag changes. I set up a condition-based trigger where under the general settings I configured the start and stop logging conditions to reflect the specific operation during which I wish to record data, and this behaves as expected. Since I only care about logging data when the value of a single tag changes, under the Logging Conditions menu, I set the 'Log on Static Interval' field to No and 'Log on Data Change' field to Yes. I set the Monitor Item ID to the tag whose value I want to drive the data logging, set the Monitor Item Update Rate to 1000 milliseconds (I am fine with checking the monitor tag's value once a second), and make sure there is no deadband type (because I wish to log any value change). And somehow, when I check my databas

Has anyone been able to figure out the address for program header?

Hello, We are planning to migrate an existing license (Siemens Suite- Perpetual / Kepware) from our old hardware to a new virtual machine system. Based on the attached details of the license - are we going to need additional licenses/upgrades before we can transfer the license to the new system? (considering that we will be deactivating the license in the old system after migration). Appreciate the assistance with this, thank you.

Hello!I'm doing a project that involves linking variables from an Excel sheet to tags of a Siemens S7-1200 PLC through KEPServerEX. I have successfully made a connection using the Siemens Ethernet TCP/IP Ethernet Driver.The PLC is going to be attached to a PC used by an operator. This PC doesn't have TIA PORTAL V16 installed, and we'd like to connect it to our S7-1200 with KEPServerEX. We also keep in mind that this PC is shut down at the end of every shift and turn on by the supervisor of the next shift.When we did tests and tried to connect the PLC to a PC via the Ethernet port without launching TIA PORTAL V16, KEPServerEX couldn't access the PLC IP (the one that you set in TIA PORTAL). It wasn't until we launched TIA PORTAL and connect it to our PLC, where TIA PORTAL V16 added an additional IP address to the ethernet interface (192.168.XX.XXX) different than the default IP address of the interface (169.254.XX.XXX), that KEPServerEX could access the PLC address through the newly adde

This was working yesterday, and during the night Windows installed updates and restarted the computer (this is on a development computer for now).  Not sure what the issue is. It connects to the DSN and says it is logging data. Then after that I get the recordset error, but no description of that the error may be.  

Is there a list of Fanuc Focas CNC status addresses 

Hello, We have BMS devices connected to Kepware KEPServerEX6 using BACnet/IP Driver. Devices are showing Bad(Out Of Service). Before few months reading were healthy.After firmware update on BACnet device, reading are steady bad.We restarted KepServer but still its same.

How to export/convert Kepware Server EX Server Certificate with *.pfx extension. I exported server certificate to *.der file and tried "COPY to File" option to convert to *.pfx file but .Pfx option is grayed out, so can not convert it. Need help.

I have floating point data via modbus to my kepware, i want to take the hexa data from kepserver to thingworx. I tried to take the float data and convert it to thingworx but the result is not the same with the one in thingworx. Could anyone please help me on how to send the hexa value of my tag from kepware to thingworx? 

It is about the data rates connection with Thingworx? what is the priority with the data rates of tags?

Hello,    I want to install KEPServerEX in my Linux machine. Is it possible?    If yes, please provide the link where I can download the software. ThanksDiptiPrakash Palai

Hi,Is it possible to permanently write a constant value (in my case a string value) to a tag within Kepware?Thanks!

We have a topic created in AWS environment where we are planning to write values using MQTT client. But the MQTT agent is unable to connect to the topic. Error : MQTT agent IOT PBM5305 disconnected - reason 'null'  we also referred the PTC article CS378797. But issue is not resolved. Kindly suggest workaround.

I have Ignition connected to KepserverEX 6.13 as an OPC client. I'd like to build dashboards, reports and alarms in Ignition to monitor performance statistics as we scale out our system - adding more devices, channels and tags. I know most device drivers provide a count of active tags (e.g. <Channel Name>.<Device Name>._System._ActiveTagCount), but is there a way to access the total number of tags defined in the Kepserver Project, as displayed in the "Tags Defined" field Property Editor dialog for the Project? I'm looking at _System._ActiveTagCount at the root level, but this number is not matching what's displayed in the dialog box on Kepserver. For bonus points, is there a good post or white paper out there for best practices on dashboarding Kepware in general - what are the prudent metrics to be monitoring and thresholding for alarms, etc.?

Hi, I have two OPC clients (both support DA and UA) which I would like to connect via an existing KepServer instance with OPC connectivity suite installed.  What is the best practice here to create/add the OPC tags to KepServer. My initial thought of using simulated tags (without a simulation function) and connecting both OPC clients with the KepServer Simulation Driver works, but I am not sure if this is the best way for production environment. Could you assist me on this? 

i want to connect kepserver ex6 opc ua whith indusoft 8.1 and i get this error in the last step , can anyone help ? 

Can we get the data from OPC aggregator where in OPC aggregator we need to connect OPC UA servers.Please suggest the workarounds to get data from OPC Aggregator to Kepware. Also please let me know where can I download the OPC aggregator.

We need to acquire a licence for an OPC UA Client driver. We have two Kepserver systems(licensed with SNMP Suite) and have set up OPC tunnelling between the two systems, but the feature OPC UA Client is time limited on one of the systems. What is the right software suite to purchase. We are looking at purchasing the OPC Connectivity Suite. will this be adequate for the Kepserver system setup with the OPC UA Client driver configuration.  

Is there a way to change settings/configuration in Kepware which can allow us to remove duplicate data coming from devices? Its being fed into ADX and there we are getting lot of duplicate rows with same timestamp, telemetry value etc.
