KEPServerEX is the industry’s leading connectivity platform that provides a single source of industrial automation data to all of your applications. The platform design allows users to connect, manage, monitor, and control diverse automation devices and software applications through one intuitive user interface. KEPServerEX leverages OPC (the automation industry’s standard for interoperability) and IT-centric communication protocols (such as SNMP, ODBC, and web services) to provide users with a single source for industrial data. The platform is developed and tested to meet our customers’ performance, reliability, and ease-of-use requirements.

A redundant power supply is when a single piece of networking equipment operates using two or more physical power supplies. Each of the power supplies will have the capacity to run the device on its own. This makes sure that the device could operate normally even if one power supply fails. It is usually used in servers and other highly important computers, to minimize the chance of a complete computer shutdown or failure. Now, it is prevailing in many networking devices like network switches as well.

The Modbus Ethernet device driver works in conjunction with KEPServerEX to provide data exchange between OPC clients and Modbus Ethernet protocol compliant PLCs. KEPServerEX automatically optimizes your data acquisition based on client demand. Data integrity is ensured with our extensive error handling.

The PLC-5® processor module in a 1771 platform provides a proven approach for industrial control. PLC-5 processors are high-speed, single-slot processors used for control and information processing. They are designed for larger sequential and regulatory control applications with specialized I/O requirements and/or the need to coordinate with other processors and devices.

PanelView Component terminals are panel-mount graphic display devices that offer keypad or touch screen operator input choices. The size of Display are available from 2-inch, 3-inch, 4-inch, 6-inch to 10-inch flat panels in TFT-color STN or monochrome. Fast and simple installation is achieved with the integrated clamp design of the terminals. There is no need for software installation as it found in the terminal.

The Modbus RTU sniffer driver enables fully non-intrusive insight into any existing Modbus RTU network consisting of a master and at leats one slave. The driver can be configured to “sniff” the requests of the master and the log the responses fo the slaves into the database some notes of interest are:

The Modbus protocol was developed in 1979 by Modicon, Incorporated, for industrial automation systems and Modicon programmable controllers. It has since become an industry standard method for the transfer of discrete/ analog I/O information and register data between industrial control and monitoring devices. Modbus is now a widely-accepted, open, public-domain protocol that requires a license, but does not require royalty payment to its owner.

Modbus is a serial communications protocol originally published by Modicon (now Schneider Electric) in 1979 for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
