Keyence KV Ethernet

Product Overview

The Keyence KV Ethernet driver works in conjunction with KEPServerEX to provide a seamless, secure, and reliable data exchange between client applications and KEYENCE KV series PLCs using the Host Link communications protocol over both the TCP and UDP transport layers.

With the Keyence KV Ethernet driver, KEPServerEX provides real-time read/write connectivity between KEYENCE KV series PLCs and diverse devices and software applications, including OPC clients and IoT solutions.

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.
