HEADLINE: Kepware Technologies Releases its OPC diagnostics feature and the SattBus Ethernet OPC Device Driver.
RELEASE: Yarmouth, ME, March 11, 2004 - Kepware Technologies, a leading worldwide supplier of OPC server technology, announces today the release of its new OPC diagnostics feature for KEPServerEX. The diagnostics feature provides a real-time and historical view of OPC events that occur between any OPC client and KEPServerEX. To aid in trouble shooting specific client/server issues the OPC diagnostics system has many filtering and search capabilities. The events and details captured by this utility work for all OPC interfaces supported by KEPServerEX. Mark Hensley, president of Kepware, adds, "These new diagnostic capabilities will be tremendously helpful to our users during the commissioning phase of their projects. Being built-in to KEPServerEX, users can interactively turn the OPC diagnostics on and off as needed without any change to the application, unlike many tools that require data collection to stop."
For more information on this feature, go to www.kepware.com and check out our viewlet demonstration of the new OPC diagnostic features.
Kepware is also announcing the release of the new SattBus Ethernet OPC Device Driver for use with our OPC Server, KEPServerEX. The SattBus Ethernet driver is intended for use with Sattcon devices communicating via the SattBus Ethernet interface.
