Kepware

Hi,I've setup a MQTT client sending values from different Tags. Is there a way to add the Tag description as they are setup in the Device, to the MQTT message? I've already tried adding @|TAGDESCRIPTION| to the message but this is not recognized. thanksH.

I have a primary / backup pair of machines that need to monitor each other. What is required for one machine to browse the tags of a second? Is there where DCOM is required with certificates etc?  My desire is to be able to shut off the datalogger groups on the backup when the primary is running and vice versa so I dont get duplicate entries in the SQL tables    

I'm new to the community, I hope you can help me. I need to use the Arduino UNO or MEGA, to write or read analog data with digital, from the PLCSoftlogix emulator. The SoftLogix Creates a Virtual PLC, which is programmed with RSLogix, these must write to the KepServer and this in turn to the Arduino through Modbus RTU Serial, My query is how to make the PLC write to the KepServer and then to the arduino, and this in both directions.

Hello, fellow Kepwarers,      I ran into a problem that my Iot agent sent only empty response to my Django backend.      I set up an IoT agent as Rest Client and added a simulation tag. So that whenever the value changed, the agent should have sent a POST HTTP request to my backend.  The template format were kept as the default settings. However, after I edited the tag value, the mechanism worked but the Django only recieved empty request (it showed "<QueryDict:{   }>").      Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Much appreciated!   

I cannot open a support ticket. When I try to log in it tells me "We have made changes to My Kepware and need to verify that this is you. We will send you an email with a verification link."I received an e-mail in response telling me to use the "problems logging in?" link but I get no further. I think I'm in a loop.Now when I click submit "problems logging in?" I get "There was an error processing your request. Please return to the previous page and check that all fields have been filled out." even though there are no blank fields.    

Hi Team,I am working on POC for which I need to generate simulated values using kepware. Requirement is to simulate production volume in gallons per second for each batch in production plant. Kindly refer screenshot for reference.Tag1 : random number in range 0 and 1 per second Tag2 : Custom Name in word and linking together to generate (Tag should be in string format e.g. "20OZ ABC")Kindly, suggest  how I can achieve this.Thanks,Sid  

I try to establish the OPC communication between Kepware OPC DA Client to ABB 800xA OPC DA Server within a domain. I already follow the "Configuration Guide Remote OPC DA (DCOM)" to setup DCOM, firewall, discovery on the OPC DA Server. But it wont able to discover the OPC server through the setup wizard. In the Kepware OPC quick client can poll data from the server if I specific locate the Remote Machine IP and Prog ID. I did try to setup channel with the specific Remote Machine IP and Prog ID, but it wont poll any data, since the OPC path is wrong. For instance, the correct path isApplications.Application_1.Diagram1.MaxReal_.OutSince I created a channel in Kepware, now the path isChannel1.Device1.Applications.Application_1.Diagra m1.MaxReal_.Out. The driver wont be able to poll data from this path.Is possible to poll data from ABB OPC DA Client from an external machine? and what setup I have not done?    

Hello everyone,   I do have a question regarding error 0xc0040007 in version 6.13.250.0 which occurring when I am trying to ask for a value from Fanuc via Focas driver. In previous version 6.7.1046.0 problem doesn't exist. I have exported and imported whole configuration tree in order to upgrade already OPC server (from 6.7 to 6.13). Both are fully licensed so that is out of scope but where all Siemens devices are responding correctyly, all those with mentioned Fanuc controllers are not providing any requests for a values (I've checked on Firewalls on the way)  When I try to use Quick OPC Client I am receiving :Failed to add item (...device path.value) to group (the same device path) (HR=0xc0040007).         Have you got any clues where to search for any solution?Thnx in advance

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".

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?
