KEPServerEX Linux Support / Roadmap? (Ignition on Linux, Windows not allowed)

Hello,

 

We are currently running Ignition（SCADA soft） on Linux and would like to use KEPServerEX as the OPC server/gateway. However, the documentation indicates that KEPServerEX is Windows-only, and using Windows is not an option in our environment.

We also considered other options such as KEPServerEX Edge, but the available drivers/licensing do not match the PLC we need to connect to, so Edge does not meet our requirements either.

Questions / what we are trying to achieve:

  1. Are there any plans for KEPServerEX to support Linux (either natively or officially via containerization/other supported deployment methods)?
  2. Our goal is to acquire data from a PLC using KEPServerEX and then provide that data to Ignition (e.g., via OPC UA). What is the recommended approach when Ignition is running on Linux and Windows cannot be used?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Kepware Edge, a Linux-based, containerized product that brings a subset of Kepware connectivity and serves data via OPC UA and MQTT. 
Initial/early releases focus on three families of drivers: Allen‑Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet, Siemens S7 Ethernet, and Modbus Ethernet

You can still open a Enhancements request with Kepware that might resolve your issue.
