Product Overview

The Hilscher Universal device driver was designed specifically for use with KEPServerEX and Hilscher Communications Interface (CIF) cards. KEPServerEX and the Hilscher Universal driver communicate through the Hilscher CIF cards to your DeviceNet or Profibus supported device, providing I/O and diagnostics information.

The Hilscher Universal driver supports DeviceNet Master/Slave and Profibus DP Master/Slave CIF cards.

Hilscher CIF card and SyCon configuration software are required and must be installed on the same machine as the OPC server.

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.
