HEADLINE: Kepware Technologies Releases U-CON Protocol Server (User-Configurable Protocol Server) and iSNMP Server
RELEASE: Yarmouth, ME June 28, 2004 -- Kepware Technologies, a leading worldwide supplier of OPC server technology, announces today the release of the U-CON Protocol Sever. U-CON meaning User-CONfigurable, allows anyone with a basic knowledge of communications to quickly develop a driver to access data from any TCP/IP or Serial device and turn that data into useful OPC accessible information. Using simple menu-driven commands, the messages that need to be sent to and received from the target device can easily be created. Once the device "Profile" is built, U-CON allows the resulting data to be broken down and directly applied to any OPC enabled application. Available in both Development and Runtime components, U-CON suits the need of OEMs who need to develop their communications applications once and deploy working units at a lower price point.
Mark Hensley, President of Kepware, adds, "With the thousands of devices available in the industrial market, finding specific OPC servers for all of them can be a daunting challenge even for seasoned integrators. U-CON allows OEMs, System Integrators, and end-users to develop their own solutions where there may have been no other option before. I see U-CON as the ideal replacement for one off driver development efforts and other universal communications products."
Kepware also announces the availability of our new iSNMP OPC server. SNMP or Simple Network Management Protocol allows key operational information to be gathered from managed networked devices. Using this key information can be crucial to solving numerous communications issues as well as gathering unique status information. Once configured, the iSNMP OPC server will automatically gather data making it available to any OPC enabled application. Now any HMI can become a powerful network monitoring application.
