Product Overview

The Advanced Simulator driver was designed to plug into our industrial based communications server product, KEPServerEX. This product supplies reliable data access to any HMI, SCADA, Historian, or Enterprise application supporting OPC, DDE, FastDDE, and SuiteLink. This driver provides single-point access to multiple ODBC data sources via ODBC. The driver simulates live data by traversing through all the records in a selected table at a rate set by the user.
