HEADLINE: Kepware Technologies Releases The Triconex Ethernet Device

Driver for KEPServerEX

RELEASE: Yarmouth, ME May 19, 2005 -- Kepware Technologies, a leading worldwide supplier of OPC client/server technology, announces the release of the new Triconex Ethernet Device Driver for KEPServerEX. This new driver supplies reliable data access to any HMI, SCADA, Historian, or Enterprise application that supports OPC, DDE, FastDDE, and SuiteLink. It is intended for use with Triconex Tricon and Trident devices equipped with Ethernet communications modules. Given the Fault Tolerate design of the Tricon system, this robust driver from Kepware also supports optional network media level redundancy. If a primary network media failure occurs the driver will automatically switch to secondary network media while Driver System tags notify the user that failover has occurred.

Kepware President, Mark Hensley ads, "The Triconex driver utilizes key networking features of the Tricon system such as Unsolicited data collection and redundancy. Both of these features enhance communications while reducing network bandwidth."

The Triconex driver also support Kepware's Automatic Tag Database Generation feature. Using the ATDG function, this driver directly import tags for all of the variables in a TriStation project file. This saves set-up time and reduces common start-up errors due to improper addressing.
