Kepware

HI I try to create a thing linked with the Kepware Server ....it was working really well with the trial version but with the license is not working..   i created the industrial connection with Kepware and is working well   I can read all the tags from kepware with the Discover function of the industrial connection I created a thing with the bind function but the new thing still alway disconnected     here the log Im sure that someone can help me ...thank you 🙂  

I have a thingworx instance where SSL certificate is not there. I want to connect that instance with a Kepware without SSL.   I have set Trust self signed certificate to false but still the connectivity is not established.  

We have an IIoT application built on Thingworx and Kepserver monitoring hundreds of machines in a manufacturing setting and corresponding Kepserver Ping Drivers to monitor their power on states. We're currently running Thingworx 8.5.6-b110 and KEPServerEX 6.10 and we are encountering issues with properties of Industrial Things that extend the PTC.Factory.DeviceThingTemplate stopping communication with their bound tags in Kepserver, despite the Thing reporting being connected.   Typical solutions have been to execute the RestartThing service on the affected Things. Occasionally, rebinding a single property fixes all of them when RestartThing does not work.   Has anyone else encountered this behavior? Any troubleshooting steps or tips we should be taking?   One other thing to note, when we restart Thingworx, all of the Industrial Things start in a disconnected state. So we have a service that is periodically triggered by a timer that will find disconnected Things

Hi I'm want just to graph random data value from kepware to a chart in a mashup but I can not achieve this goal. I can do it with a gauge or LED display but not with a Chart. Some idea? Have i to save the data before in a data storage or something?

Hi,   The OPC UA client documentation explains only about the option of user authentication by user name and password. Is there also support for user authentication through a certificate?   I have an OPC UA server on which I trusted the Kepware OPC UA client driver certificate.But in order for the OPC UA server to know who is connecting it is not working with user name and password, but expects a user certificate. I don't find any documentation on such configuration with Kepware, might be a product limitation.   Best regards, Dennis

Hi,An issue with importing the Kepware tags whenever we import Kepware tag industrial thing is getting disconnected. After that manually binding tag, the industrial thing connected again. But there more than 1000 Kepware tags which are practically not possible to bind manually.Thingworx version 9.1   Thanks   

Hi friends i need support to recuperate kepware licence that i have no acces more, to the machine originally installed. Need i open especial ticket to this resolution? Can you explain how i open this especial ticket? Tks 

Hello everyone, I'm new to TWX w/ Kepware. I've create multiple "remote thing" from "industrial gateway". Which is better? To create many "remote thing" (based on groups) or one "remote thing" (no grouping). I'm concerned about communication performance. Pls advise. Thanks

Hallo,   is it possible to connect Raspberry Pi 4 to Kepware Server and read data in Thingworx? I have already connected vie Microserver. I just ask it is possible that another way Thnx BR Vladimir

Hello! I wonder if someone can explain the behaviour of KepServer described below. I couldn't find anything similar online.   Context: I'm building a POC of an application with an OPC UA client in it. For that I'm using node-opcua opensource product.  I'm using KEPServerEX 6.10 as an OPC UA server.   Use case: I have a basic script that reads a value attribute from the server. The node is pre-configured and comes out of the box with Kepware Server. Node ID is ns=2;s=Simulation Examples.Functions.Sine1. The script establishes a connection with the server, creates a session, reads a values, closes the session, disconnects from the server.   Expected behaviour: Each script invocation should return a simulated sinusoid value.   Actual behaviour: First script invocation returns 0 (zero) value. Response status code is 0 (Good). Subsequent request if it happens within 5 seconds, returns a legit sinusoid value, e.g. 0.20106108486652374. I figured "Tag Cache T

I have the Kepware tags, but there is no data from tags, is there a way to generate Random data from the kepware software based on the tags, some kind of simulation?@c_lowy can you help me out with this?

Hi,   We have done a Modbus connection to Kepware to fetch an Energy meter data. The modbus driver is running in an edge PC pushing energy meter data to Keware every 2 secs. But the data is not properly updating in Kepware and has a delay update of more than 1-2 mins(in Quick client).  We cross verified with ModScan(Instead of Kepware) and there we were getting data every 2 secs We checked with the below senarious. 1) Channel's ScanMode was set to Respect Client-Specified Scan Rate. 2) Changed Channel Scan mode and scan rate to various values (below 2000 ms) None of these worked.   Regards, Sri1

Hi,   I wanted to know the differences between KepserverEX and Thingworx Kepware Edge.   Currently, we are working on a project, where 5 machines will have their own Industrial PC( running on Ubuntu) with drivers installed for capturing sensor data. The captured data is then sent to a Server(Windows ) where KepserverEX will be running. My question is : can we install this Thingworx Kepware Edge on all the 5 edge PC and connect directly to Thingworx, instead of connection it to a single Kepware. What is the difference between both these above setups, is one better then the other? if so how?   Regards, Sri1 

Hi,   We are using KEPServerEX in one of our project setup(with services and connections). This setup should restart by itself when the server on which its running is restarted. Among the other elements in the setup I need KEPServerEX also to start itself (running as an Administrator). How do I configure this in Kepware.     Regards, Sri1

I am new with TWX so not sure if perhaps this is a common mistake but I installed and configured TWX foundation server according to manual and is working fine,  if I simulate data within platform it works fine, but when trying to connect to external data via KS, error "could not initialize  secure socket connection" appears.    TWX Foundation in 9.1, KS 6.9,  OS W2019 Server VM   Thanks a lot for your help Diego

Hi all. I try to use Kepware User Configurable driver to catch unsolicied messages in multicast group. Server equipment send multicast messages to IP 224.0.1.1 port UDP 5155 to its own clients. I want to create the listener of this multicast traffic with Kepware U-CON driver and then parse it. So far, my attempts to configure u-con channels with ethernet encapsulation (UDP 5155) in unsolicited mode have been unsuccessful. Can I use U-CON to catch multicast messages or maybe I have to use any another driver?   Thanks in advance.

Greetings,as per title, I am unable to connect a Kepware server to a cloud instance of TWx. I've been able to connect multiple other servers, so the issue must be on this machine.I configured the Project->Thingworx tab like I always do, after creating an industrial connection via ManApps and following the relative instructions, but I always get this error:   "Error ThingWorx Native Interface Connection to ThingWorx failed. | Platform = danieli-dev.cloud.thingworx.com:443/Thingworx/WS, error = could not establish a websocket connection."   I've tried disabling encryption and using the 8080 port, which results in this error:   "Connection to ThingWorx failed. | Platform = danieli-dev.cloud.thingworx.com:8080/Thingworx/WS, error = could not initialize a secure socket connection."   The machine which is running Kepware is still running Windows 7 and in order to install and run Kewpare I had to follow this article (CS321323) to install the required certificates,

Hello,   I am trying to send data from the Moxa Nport5150A with a RS232 message, but I am not sure about what settings I need to have on Kepware to successfully perform this communication. On the moxa webserver I can configure the operation mode (TCP/IP Client or Server, RealCOM and so on...). I know the IP Address of the moxa terminal server which I can use in kepware for identification. However, there's other settings like ID of the device or address of the tag which I do not know how to setup correctly. Also, I would like some clarification on what driver should be used for this and why. Thank you in advance!

im trying to connect and read a modbus map from a GE Multilin 850 power meter. i am able to connect to the device using modbus tcp and tags show valid, but the data read from the mod bus address is not what it should be. has anyone done this before and could possibly share their config settings. ive tried various settings but maybe its an odd high/low setting on the word/dword or a strange zero addressing issue?   thanks

Hello, I'm trying to write a service that allows me to push a Kepware configuration (in .json format) to a chosen Kepware server. When I try to push the configuration using the "PushConfigToEdge" built in service, I get "Configuration Transfer from ThingWorx Platform failed. | Reason = 'Access Denied'" on the Kepware interface. I've also tried using the built in push/pull interface from the Thing -> Configuration Files page, but I get the same result.What am I doing wrong? Below you can find the source code I'm using at the moment.Thanks in advance.         var fileNameExt = fileName + ".json"; var tempString = jsonString; tempString = "'" + jsonString + "'"; tempString = JSON.stringify(tempString); pause(10000); var tempObj = JSON.parse(tempString); pause(10000); Things["SystemRepository"].SaveText({ path: '/' + fileNameExt /* STRING */, content: tempObj /* STRING */ }); Things[gatewayName].PushConfigToEdge({ sourceFileName: fileNameExt /* STRING */,

Hi, I am running Thingworx 9.0 and Kepware 6.9   I managed the connection between kepware and thingworx, but when I create the remote thing it seems disconnected to me, even though the industrial connections are connected.   checking the properties of the remote thing, the isConnected property has no value ... how do I solve it? and checking the AplitionLog it throws me the following messages:   Unable to send [uri = / Things / IIoT_Industrial_Server / Services / BulkLog /]: IoT_Industrial_Server entity does not exist or is not yet associated with a Thing runtime   error APIRequest Message: IoT_Industrial_Server entity does not exist or is not yet associated with a thing, sending ERROR ResponseMessage to caller!   thanks for your help  

Hello, good morning, I have a problem with the logger entering the database.I want the settings in the data logger to change every 1 hour the data is entered into the database with a value that increases every hour, but in fact the value does not increase in the database, but the value is 17855.If the value does not increase, add 17855, there should only be one data value in the database. Next I send the settings to the datalogger and the results in the database. I ask for help how to set a good and correct height in the Data logger "Log on data Change" so that the value changes every 1 hour? Thank you very much.  

Hello! I am hoping someone can help me with an issue I am encountering. My company recently purchased a new MES system (Critical Manufacturing) and along with it we purchased Kepware in order to bridge the gap between machine and MES. Here is the scenario:   I have a machine with an Allen Bradley CompactLogix 5380 controller (5069-L320ERMS2/B) with firmware version 32.012 installed. I am using KEPServerEX to connect to the AB controller using OPC-UA protocol. I have a fully populated list of machine tags presented to me (around 34,000 tags in total) and I am able to view the real data on these tags when opening the OPC Quick Client to view them. I have successfully performed read operations on all of the relevant tags I need, so I know the communication is working in that direction - the issue is when I try to write data to the tags. I have boolean tags in the PLC that correlate to certain functions, such as counter resets. I have attemped both Synchronous Writes and Asynchronous
