ODBC Client

Product Overview

The ODBC Client driver works in conjunction with KEPServerEX to provide single-point access to multiple ODBC data sources via Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC). The goal of ODBC is to make it possible to gather any data from any application, regardless of which database management system (DBMS) is handling the data. Using the power and speed of OPC, KEPServerEX is able to offer ODBC data to any OPC/DDE enabled client and ensures data integrity through extensive error handling.

Features

• Clients may reside Locally or Remotely
• Clients can communicate via OPC or NetDDE
• Supports read and write access to multiple ODBC-compliant databases
• Supports read and write to SQL engine
• Write to BIGINT stored procedure inputs
• Supports four access methods, including fixed table, dynamic table, query, and stored procedure
• Supports automatic tag generation based on tables, queries, and stored procedures from your ODBC data source
• Supports automatic generation of SQL type 'NCHAR' as OPC type 'string'
• Simple interface enables users to get their data immediately

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.
