Product Overview
The OPC XML-DA Client driver and KEPServerEX provide an easy and reliable way to connect disparate third-party OPC XML-DA servers to your client applications, including HMI, SCADA, Historian, MES, ERP, and countless custom applications.
With the OPC XML-DA Client Driver and KEPServerEX, you can manage operations through a single server interface, so there is no need to learn the different nuances of other third-party servers.
Features
- Provides a single, reliable connection point to access data from multiple OPC XML-DA servers on local and remote machines
- Enables optimized performance of OPC XML-DA servers through OPC groupings that may be different than those required or allowed by your clients
- Supports connection monitoring and reconnect behavior for each OPC XML-DA server
- Allows connectivity to multiple OPC XML-DA servers from clients that do not support multiple connections or handle multiple connections well
- Allows connectivity to OPC XML-DA servers using different interfaces supported by clients, such as DDE, Wonderware SuiteLink, GE NIO, and so forth
- Supports update by exception (Watchdog)
- Can automatically import OPC XML-DA Server Items
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.
