HEADLINE: Kepware Technologies Announces A Major Performance Upgrade for
their Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet OPC Server!
RELEASE: Yarmouth, ME - May 12, 2003 -- Kepware Technologies, a worldwide
supplier of OPC server technology, announces today the performance release
for their Allen-Bradley ControlLogix
Ethernet OPC server. The Allen-
Bradley ControlLogix
driver has been redesigned to use a completely new
acquisition method to gather data directly from Allen-Bradley ControlLogix
processors resulting in a phenomenal improvement on performance. This new
method of direct access allows this next generation ControlLogix driver to
gather much larger amounts of data from the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix
processor(s) while at the same time dramatically reducing the load on the
PLC.
The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix driver can now upload the tag database
directly from the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix processor. This provides a
more detailed understanding of the structure of the data within the Allen-
Bradley ControlLogix processor; therefore, allowing this next generation
driver to make highly intelligent decisions about how to acquire data. The
driver now accesses controller memory in large highly optimized reads,
allowing the driver to achieve read rates radically higher then before. As
always, no additional software library or hardware is required.
Mark Hensley, President of Kepware, states, "The flexibility of the
ControlLogix platform has always required a considerable engineering effort
to access data effectively. Our next generation ControlLogix driver takes
that effort right to the edge of "state of the art" in terms of the
design
of this driver. New and existing users will be truly impressed."
