Title

Kepware OPC Servers / OPC Software

Description

Kepware's initial goal was to develop a low cost alternative to HMI (Human Machine Interface) packages such as Wonderware and Intellution. This was Kepware's primary product goal until December 1996. We began the development of our OPC and DDE server product in early 1996. Initially this communications product was only a DDE server. We embarked on this direction at the request of Rockwell Software who was looking for third party providers of communications servers to augment the communication offerings for their own RSView product. Because of the driver development efforts with our own HMI package, we felt that we could utilize the work spent developing these communications drivers and produce an additional revenue stream while we continued to develop our own HMI package. While our goal initially may have been to augment the development of our own HMI product with OPC server sales, the resulting KEPServer product line has grown to receive market-wide acceptance as a best of breed product for OPC communications. As such we felt a change of focus was necessary to take advantage of the growing OPC market.

Kepware has now focused all of the company's resources on the development of our OPC server products. With this new focus, we are becoming well known in the industry as the best provider of OPC servers in terms of performance, reliability, and price. The focus on the OPC communications market has allowed us to insure that we can supply a high quality product while maintaining a fast time to market for new products.

We take the quality of our product very seriously, and won't release a product until we can perform our full test suite on the product. We have released our 2.0 OPC server technology. Many competitive products have already had their own 2.0 products on the market for some time. In many cases, however, we have had numerous customers use our servers after attempting to use the products of other OPC vendors simply because ours works without issue. As we add new technology to our product offering, our goal is to do so while maintaining our already high standards of quality.

KEPServerEX OPC Server - Kepware's KEPServerEX OPC Server product suite is a single OPC server with over 100 available plug-in device drivers for a wide variety of PLCs, databases, and systems. KEPServerEX has become the industrial connectivity standard for automation professionals around the globe.

DataLogger Option for KEPServerEX - The DataLogger is an easy-to-configure application that logs data from an OPC server to any ODBC-compliant database. DataLogger's tight integration with the KEPServerEX OPC Server provides substantial, unique benefits such as simple installation, high-efficiency performance, and easy browsing of tags in the OPC browse space.

DX Link Option for KEPServerEX - OPC Data Exchange (DX) was designed to address the needs of Device-to-Device and Bus-to-Bus interoperability by applying the same technologies currently used by desktop applications at the device level. By adding OPC DA Client support to an existing OPC DA server we end up with a DX server that not only provides access to its data, but has the ability to gather data from other OPC DA enabled devices.

LinkMaster OPC Bridging Software - LinkMaster has the capabilities of both a "server" and a "client" application, allowing it to access, collect, organize, and link data from multiple OPC Servers. Additionally, LinkMaster is an OPC and DDE server allowing it to act as a bridge between legacy DDE systems and new OPC enabled applications.

ClientAce OPC .NET Toolkit - Kepware's ClientAce OPC .NET Toolkit provides simple to use tools for developers wanting to build an OPC client application. ClientAce consists of two main parts: the DA Junction and the .NET API. The ClientAce DA Junction is a customized .NET control that enables a Visual Basic .NET or C# programmer to easily develop OPC Client applications that can access a variety of OPC Servers. The ClientAce .NET API provides users of languages such as C# and Visual Basic .NET with a simple, intuitive and optimized class library to quickly develop OPC client applications.
