Yokogawa MW Device Drivers for KEPServerEX.
|
RELEASE: Portland, ME, July 19, 2006 - Kepware Technologies announces the addition of two new drivers to their industry leading OPC server package KEPServerEX. The new drivers, the Yokogawa MW100 and the Cutler Hammer ELC driver, were developed for both companies whom have been long time partners of Kepware Technologies.
The Yokogawa MW100 driver adds full OPC data access capabilities to this newest member of Yokogawa's data acquisition line. Utilizing Kepware's automatic tag generation functions, the new driver eliminates the need to configure OPC tags within the server by automatically determining the correct tags based on the configuration of the attached MW100 systems. "The automatic tag generation system allows Yokogawa customers to get the most from the OPC server, by automatically placing all key data items and parameters into a well structured tag database. End users can get the maximum benefit of their OPC solutions with point and click accessibility which saves considerable time." Says Kepware president, Mark Hensley.
The Cutler Hammer ELC is the newest addition to Cutler Hammer's Logic Controller lineup. The ELC driver for KEPServerEX provides complete system access to all ELC I/O and register space. "While the ELC uses standard Modbus RTU or ASCII as its communications protocol, the memory layout of the ELC is unique. The ELC driver allows users to access the device in the memory formats used by the ELC programming package and eliminates error prone mapping between standard Modbus address and true ELC addressing. Making OPC easier to use is a key element in why companies like Cutler Hammer chose Kepware for their OPC technology needs."
