Transcend Automation's Kepware OPC Products
- 1. Transcend Automation www.transcenda.in OPC Products from Kepware Technologies KEPServerEX KEPServerEX - Maximize the Promise of OPC with a single OPC server interface for multiple protocols. KEPServerEX is the latest generation of Kepware's communication server technology. KEPServerEX is designed to allow quick communication setup to your control systems using a wide range of available "plug-in" device drivers and components. With support for 1000s of devices via over 130 protocols, getting data to your client is easy. KEPServerEX also provides a common and self-evident user interface for all drivers, providing consistent access from your client applications via Certified OPC or native interfaces, no matter what drivers you use. SNMP OPC Server The Industrial SNMP OPC Server Suite provides valuable insight into the performance of a variety of industrial control system networks. The controllers, software, and underlying control network make up a modern control system. The entire system can become unreliable without stable performance from all three components. With SNMP Suite you can monitor and analyze your plant Ethernet-based network from within your existing HMI package and never have to rely on blind faith that the network is performing to specifications Data Logger The Data Logger is an easy-to-configure application that logs data from an OPC server to any ODBC-compliant database. DataLogger's tight integration with KEPServerEX provides substantial, unique benefits such as simple installation, high-efficiency performance, and easy browsing of tags in the OPC browse space. U-CON OPC Server The User-CONfigurable (U-CON) driver for KEPServerEX allows you to quickly and easily create your device driver for those Serial and Ethernet devices where there is no off the shelf driver. The U-CON driver’s intuitive interface was designed for the non programmer. All you need is a basic knowledge of protocols, the protocol manual, and the device. OPC and other proprietary client interface technologies are handled within KEPServerEX making client side communications a non issue. The U-CON driver also supports all feature sets available within KEPServerEX. Typical devices U-CON is used for include barcode readers, weigh scales, various sensors, and RTU’s to name a few. OPC DX Link Option for OPC Data eXchange (OPC-DX) provides for non-time critical horizontal transfers of data from a KEPServerEX source server to an OPC-DX target server. The source server, which can be any OPC-DA or OPC-DX server, provides its source data through standard OPC-DA items, where as the target server contains the target item. OPC-DX defines the data transfer from the source item to a target item. This link between source and target is referred to as a DX connection. A DX connection is configured by OPC-DX clients using OPC-DX specific services. OPC-DX also defines related OPC-DA items that clients can use to control and monitor connections using OPC-DA interfaces.
- 2. RedundancyMaster OPC RedundancyMaster increases the reliability and availability of OPC data by allowing multiple Redundancy Software OPC Servers to be configured into redundant pairs. Each redundant pair seamlessly appears as a single OPC Server to any OPC Client application. Redundancy Master can be added to an existing server/client application without any reconfiguration of the application, keeping your processes going without any down time. Advanced Tag Option for Your machines may not deliver all the data you need for proper operations assessment. KEPServerEX Variables such as Cycle Time, Maximum Temperature, Downtime Reason, etc. may not exist, yet are essential for operations analysis. For this reason, the KEPServerEX solution offers an option, called Advanced Tags that can deliver a variety of analytics. Advanced Tags deliver an array of mathematic and logical operators enabling the generation of new data, or the aggregation of existing data into information suitable for higher level archival and analysis. Through Advanced Tags, users can measure the duration of operations, totalize events, perform averages over a group of sensors, set trigger conditions for data acquisition and combine machine conditions to generate an overall machine state, valuable for future analytics. Advanced Tags are very similar to I/O Tags. Rather than defining I/O data source details, Advanced Tags enable you to create an expression, browsing from existing data tags, and combining them with Math and logic operators to generate a new result. LinkMaster OPC Bridging LinkMaster provides the means of linking data between OPC Servers, thus acting as a universal Software bridge for OPC Systems. Additionally, LinkMaster is an OPC and DDE server allowing it to act as a bridge between legacy DDE systems and new OPC enabled applications. LinkMaster is a fast and robust Windows application that requires no programming knowledge, simply "Drag and Drop" to create your links. Built-in scaling, user-access manager, error tracking, and write optimization capabilities, provide total control of your data flow and application access. Oracle Connectivity Suite for Today's businesses demand higher throughput, intelligent scheduling, reduced inventories and KEPServerEX OPC Server information automation to reduce errors and enhance productivity. This can only be accomplished by connecting your manufacturing automation systems with enterprise business solutions. Oracle has selected Kepware specifically for this purpose.
