DNP3 Master Serial

Product Overview

The DNP3 Master Serial device driver works in conjunction with KEPServerEX to support communications with any DNP3 slave device. The DNP3 Master Serial driver serves as a master to one or more devices using the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3). The DNP3 Serial driver includes the Water Industry Telemetry Standard (WITS), which provides added security through authentication and additional data sets specific to the water industry, as well as the ability to manage distributed device assets and their attributes.

A driver is a software component that enables KEPServerEX to meet the communication requirements of a specific device, system, or other data source. The driver handles all proprietary communications between the data source and KEPServerEX; KEPServerEX handles all OPC or proprietary client communications between the driver and the client application(s).

Drivers may be licensed individually or in suites. Additional drivers can be licensed on demand as connectivity needs evolve. All OPC client interfaces can connect to KEPServerEX without additional charge.
