Kepware Technologies announces NEW Driver - Siemens
S7-200 Ethernet!
RELEASE: Yarmouth, ME - March 14, 2003 --
Kepware Technologies, the leading supplier of OPC server
technology,
announces today the release of the Siemens
S7-200 Ethernet driver. Kepware's Siemens S7-200 Ethernet
device driver works in conjunction with our OPC Server KEPServerEX,
to provide data exchange between OPC Clients and Siemens
S7-200 PLCs using TCP/IP Ethernet protocol. S7-200 Ethernet
support has been implemented as an enhancement to the current
driver support for the S7-300 & S7-400 PLCs.
The S7-200
Ethernet driver talks directly to the S7-200 series
PLC using a standard PC network interface card, no additional
software packages or libraries are required. The S7-200
PLC must be equipped with the new CP-243 communications
module from Siemens.
Mark Hensley, President of Kepware, states, "Customers have
been requesting a Siemens S7-200 Ethernet driver - wanting
to take advantage of our easy to use interface, unprecedented
reliability, and superior price/performance ratio they have
come to expect from Kepware." He continues, "This driver
compliments our current support for the S7-300
and S7-400 series to continue providing our customers
a very cost-effective alternative to communicating to the
Siemens PLCs directly from their PC network interface card." This
driver joins our existing long list of supported industrial
protocols; representing our continued commitment to responding
to our customers' requests.
