Product Overview
The GE Intelligent Platforms Ethernet device driver works in conjunction with KEPServerEX to provide data exchange between OPC clients and GE PLCs. KEPServerEX automatically optimizes your data acquisition based on client demand. Data integrity is ensured with our extensive error handling. The GE Ethernet driver has been updated to support compatibility with major HMI applications making project conversion simple. This upgrade includes bit within register access and string support within register memory.
This driver is fully integrated with VersaPro, Logic Developer, and Proficy ME programming packages. A smart tag import wizard makes loading all of the tags in your PLC application a two-second operation, allowing simple access to all of your application data for any OPC or DDE enabled program.
This driver also supports PACSystems models RX3i and RX7i with Symbolic Variable support.

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.
