Kepware's Modbus Ethernet device driver works in conjunction with our OPC Server KEPServerEX, to provide data exchange between OPC Clients and Modbus Ethernet protocol compliant PLCs. Kepware's implementation of Modbus Ethernet OPC Server supports master and slave operations simultaneously. The slave mode allows the server to receive data by exception from other Modbus Ethernet devices. KEPServerEX automatically optimizes your data acquisition based on client demand. Data integrity is ensured with our extensive error handling.

The Modbus Ethernet driver now offers direct integration with Modicon Concept and ProWORX programming packages. If you are using either of these packages you will be able to directly import the tags used in your PLC application directly into KEPServerEX. This time saving step makes all of the relevant PLC data available to your OPC client applications instantly.

KEPServerEX OPC Server

Drivers "Plug In" to KEPServerEX

The Modbus Ethernet OPC Server is a plug-in device driver for KEPServerEX. A "Plug-in" is a software program (.dll) that extends the capabilities of KEPServerEX to fit the communication requirements of a specific device or system. The plug-in driver handles all of the proprietary communications between the device/system and the OPC layer, KEPServerEX. The KEPServerEX core then handles all OPC and Proprietary Client communications between the plug-in driver and the Client application. For a complete list of features and capabilities please visit the KEPServerEX overview page.
