Kepware

U-CON Protocol Server.  The reliable way to connect OPC client applications to a range of serial and Ethernet devices.

Begin Here

Step 1: Determine manufacturer and model number for the device or system.  What serial or Ethernet communication options exist?

Step 2: Obtain protocol documentation for the device.  Many vendors provide a protocol manual with the device or make them available in .pdf format.

Step 3: Determine a specific list of data you need to access from the device.  Choose a sample data value you would like to read.  Learn the transaction details for the sample data value.

Next, build your tags

Step 4: Using a basic understanding of device communications and refer to the hardware manafacturer

The Transaction Editor is the integrated development environment of the U-CON Protocol Server. It provides an easy and intuitive means for configuring the driver.

Then, run your tags through our reliable OPC Server

Step 5: The Transaction Editor will validate your transactions then upload them to the OPC server as tags.  The server then makes tag data available to OPC clients.
