Hi Folks, I'm a total newbie to Kepware, so please forgive any mistakes or formatting inadequacies. I have searched the website, but answers to similar questions involve ThingWorx, which I'm not using. I'm using a trial version of KepServerEX 6.13 with the Postman utility to test responses to/from a REST API server configured in the IoT Gateway plugin. What I'm asking concerns the JSON call/response values. The IoT Gateway has a REST API agent pointing to a new read/write tag with the name "Channel1.Device1.Order", which is of type string. I followed the example from ptc.com:  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS376106 .  Here is my POST request: POST            http://127.0.0.1:39320/iotgateway/write[    {        "id": "Channel1.Device1.Order",        "v": "000000717087"    }]&n

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to use your own security certificates with KepServerEx for OPC UA communication. I've seen that there is an option to import certificates in the Instance Certificates section of the OPC UA Configuration Manager. Is there any information on the requirements for using your own certificates? I also saw that there was a Certificate Store tab in the settings for KepServerEx. Is this for use specifically for ThingWorx?     

Hi, I'm working with a customer where I have configured KepServerEX as an OPCUA tunnel taking data from an OPCDA Server and providing it to an OPCUA Client. The OPCUA Client is a product called Tridium Niagara. We didn't apply a security policy initially however the latest version of Niagara requires that Basic256Sha256 is required. I have selected to use sign; sign and encrypt and configured the OPCUA side on KepServerEx. However, when I trust the Niagara OPCUA Client Certificate and try to connect Niagara to KepServerEx it fails with Niagara logging the following message, The URI specified in the ApplicationDescription does not match the URI in the certificate. The Certificate that I am using is the self signed certificate created by KepServerEx using OpenSSL. Also, to note the KepServerEx is installed on one virtual server and Niagara is installed on another. Whenever we create a new KepServerEx certificate it uses the credentials of the user logged in as part of the

Hi everyone,   I need to configure kepware for reading Atlas Copco PF6000 data. I set as model connect "open protocol". When I set the parameters for "Data Properties" and then access the Quick Client, I see the connection has a "Bad (Out of Service)" quality.   KEPServerEX 6.12. V6.12.325.0   Anyone could you help me? Please find image attachments.   Thank you,Best Regards

Hi, I found Kepware plans to release Linux Edge, which supports Ubuntu. https://www.kepware.com/ja-jp/products/thingworx-kepware-edge/   If this is runnable in SigmaTile software, it means running on Raspberry Pi 3,  this helps me to use SigmaTile demo together with Azure VM without local PC for Kepware.   Could you share with me something if you have information regarding this idea, please?

Is there a way I can automate the KepwareServer ex enable API configuration setting during install OR after silent install is complete ?. If there is a config file then I can write a script to update that setting and enable the Kepware API connection.  We have around 200 Kepware server's that we have to setup via automated scripts. It will be a very time taking job to use the UI to set the configuration API setting to Yes to all the serves Just to enable the config automation.    

Trying to connect to an L30ER through an L310ER in Dual IP Mode. KEPServerEX Version is 6.10As close as I can tell, the ID should be:<10.10.10.1>,1,[4,192.168.1.2,1],0However, I get an Invalid Device ID I can connect through Ignition's OPC server with a connection path of. 4,192.168.1.2,1,0, but I'm not sure how that translates to KEPServer's ID. 

Dears, I am using KEPServerEx 6.9 and version is V6.9.572.0, where can I find the OPC UA client version? I must use up OPC UA 2.0 to connect the equipment thank you! 

We recently bought a new license, which indicates that version V6.13 is eligible, but the currently installed version is V2.11.250.0, and I believe that the new license won't activate the old version. Unfortunately, I am unable to install a new version on our old server because I keep getting a pop-up window during installation that states that. " The installer was unable to find required root certificates, please apply windows update, if unable to apply windows updates, contact support for instructions on installing root certificates" Due to the fact that we are now using Windows 7 Professional SP-1 32-bit and Windows updates are not possible, kindly assist us in obtaining a "root Certificate" OR, instruct us on how to obtain a license to activate an earlier version of "2.11.250.0". It actually happened after I replaced the server's HDD after it crashed and I re-imaged it on a new hard drive.  

Hello.I am trying to communicate Kepware to a Beckoff CK3E controller. Not sure which driver to use.  Any help would be amazing.https://www.ia.omron.com/products/family/3545/specification.html thank you.    

Hello Team,Here i want to know from all knowledgeable members of community, Is Kepware can return 0/False if it is unable to write value on PLC Tag. I am writing some integer value on my PLC Tag using Kepware but sometime it happens, there in no connectivity or Network issue so how I would be able to know, if kepware has written a vale on perticular Tag. RegardsPankaj     

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but I didn't find any related communities. I am using KepServerEx to monitor some PLC tags. I have defined some alarm tags in Area1 for testing. when I tried to access these tags in some clients like OpcExpert or UaExpert, I can find the Area1 folder but there is no tags inside. These clients have successfully read other tags. In OpcExpert I even can't find the server itself in the alarm tab. The AE connection to the server is enabled and I am not using anonymous logins.    

I am setting up an Atlas Copco MTF6000 controller using the KEPServerEX Torque Tool Ethernet driver. I am expericing an issue seeing Variable data in the OPC Quick Client. Some addresses, such as COMM_CONTROL_SER_NUM display data and display 'Good' quality. However, another tag with an address of format 1202.30237 does not display data in the OPC Quick Client and shows 'Bad' Quality.  The Torque Tool Ethernet Driver help page uses 1202.30237 as an example of Variable Data addressing, but I am unable to determine why this does not display data. In fact, I have this issue for all MID.PID address formats. Does anyone have any ideas? Am I addessing the tags correctly? 

Hi everyone,   I'm not using kepware. Someone already use my credit for pay this software. I already sent email to online.sales@kepware.com and orders@kepware.com. But no replies.    Anyone can help?  

  Hi,I have a connection with a device through SNMP v2c. By default Kepserver allows me to receive a maximum of 100 trap events, but I need it to allow me to receive 200 trap events. Is there a license that increases the number of trap events?      

We use Kepware to collect data from Mitsubishi Q-series PLCs and process it in ThingWorx.I'm trying to set the device using the Mitsutubishi Ethernet driver and get the data from the PLC's data register as a string, but I can't select "String" from the data type in the Kepware property editor.An integer can be obtained by selecting the "Word" data type.Is there a way to get the string using Kepware? Or do I have to create a service that takes an integer in Kepware , converts the integer to ASCII code and generate strings in ThingWorx?   Thanks      

Hello community,I am new here and would like to introduce myself first. My name is Steffen and I work as a project manager. I live in Germany in Baden Württemberg. I have recently deployed a WinCC process control system in our production plant in Toronto/Canada to connect the production machines to the SAP MES system. In this case, the WinCC takes over the man in the middle function and reports the individual plant states and operating modes to the SAP world. Automatic product changes are also triggered from SAP and the machine then receives all production-relevant data from WinCC. The network setup looks like this. There are 31 PLC stations of the type Omron CJ2M with the FINS Ethernet driver and 17 Omron NJ stations that are coupled to the Siemens WinCC OPC UA with the NJ Ethernet driver.The individual PLC stations are collected using a Meraki switch and then connected directly to a redundant server system using two network cables.So far so good.....The communication is established a

I have two servers running KepServerEX, LinkMaster and Redundancy Master. They are a redundant pair to ensure uptime.  I am looking to upgrade these server's to a new OS (Windows 2019 Server Datacenter). I know Redundancy Master does not work properly on anything past Windows 2016.  I am looking for options to replacing the functionality of these obsolete software packages. I am trying to avoid different vendors if at all possible.  I specifically need the ability to write data from one PLC in the mill to another. Most of these are between ControlLogix Processors and I need to be able to get data into specific programs, which LinkMaster does easily.  I use Redundancy Master to mirror DCS connectivity servers for KepServerEX and LinkMaster, so that if we have to take down one server in the pair, the OPC data can continue to be provided. The nice thing about Redundancy Master is that it is seamless to the other applications.  I have looked though t

Hi community.   Does anyone can give me a hint on why am I getting  "bad VARTYPE" as the item value on the Quick OPC Client whenever I try to read a tag on a Siemens PLC S7-1200 over ethernet.   It is suposed to be a number     

Hi, Is it possible to generate a random Boolean using the Simulator Drive?I would like to Simulate a Tag that's value will swap between True/False. Thanks Tim

Hey Kepware Community, Come join myself and other Kepware Server Instructors in PTCU Virtual Lead Training.All Training | Search | PTC Learning Connector Chris.Just an old guy trying to make learning fun.

I have a windows server 2019 system in which I installed kepserver,PLCs and databases are connected to obtain information, lately the tags have a certain delay,I have not moved anything in the configuration but I wanted to ask if anyone knows why it happens or if the number of tags is limited or is it the capacity of my system Thanks for your attention
