Product Overview
The OPC DA Client driver and KEPServerEX communications platform provide an easy and reliable way to connect disparate third-party OPC DA Servers to your client applications, including HMI, SCADA, Historian, MES, ERP, and countless custom applications.
With the OPC 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.
This driver also enables Oracle MES and MOC users to bring Kepware OPC operations and all other third-party OPC operations into your business applications.
Features
- Provides a single, reliable connection point to access data from multiple OPC servers on local and remote machines
- Enables optimized performance of OPC 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 server
- Provides connectivity to remote OPC servers for clients that do not support DCOM
- Allows connectivity to multiple OPC servers from clients that do not support multiple connections or handle multiple connections well
- Allows connectivity to OPC servers using different interfaces that are supported by clients, such as DDE, Wonderware SuiteLink, GE NIO, and so forth
- Supports update by exception (Watchdog)
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.
