Kepware Server Ex 6

[Trudi Miranda]

Supportthe broadest range of drivers available, including current and legacy devices across various verticals, a variety of wired and wireless network mediums, and connectivity to databases, custom software applications, and other OPC servers.

Provide data access for client applications (such as MES and SCADA) and IoT and Big Data analytics software via OPC, proprietary protocols, IT protocols, and flow measurement export to common Oil & Gas industry formats.

Control user access to the server, data source, or data values, regulate read/write access, provide the ability to connect or disconnect client applications, and support the configuration of secure data tunnels.

Isolate device and application communications for troubleshooting, offering OPC diagnostics for real-time and historical views of OPC events and communications diagnostics to capture the protocol frames transferred between the server and any device.

The KEPServerEX connectivity platform offers simultaneous accessibility to client applications through an ever-growing list of supported industry standards, proprietary technologies, and native client interfaces including:

Top-tier Kepware drivers and core components of KEPServerEX are localized into Japanese, German and Simplified Chinese. These localizations give native Japanese, German and Chinese speaking-users more accessibility and confidence when configuring, monitoring and troubleshooting KEPServerEX.

Kepware's OPC tunneling solution uses a client/server architecture for secure and reliable real-time data tunneling through firewalls and across the internet, WAN, or LAN. It allows for easy remote communications between devices, data sources, and applications by eliminating the reliance on Microsoft COM and DCOM technology.

Streamline your OPC data and project security. KEPServerEX Security Policies allow administrators to assign security access permissions on individual objects (such as channels, devices, and tags) based on user roles. It is used in conjunction with the server's User Manager, which enables management of user groups, users, and default security settings. Security Policies are included with KEPServerEX, no additional purchases required. The tools allow you to:

A suite is a collection of drivers and advanced plug-ins for KEPServerEX. These products have been bundled into suites by vertical industry, device manufacturer, or industrial application for the convenience of our customers.

Additional suites can be licensed on demand as connectivity needs evolve.

A driver is a software component that enables KEPServerEX to meet the connectivity requirements of a specific device, system, or other data source. The driver handles all proprietary communications to the data source for KEPServerEX; the client interfaces handle all supported OPC, proprietary, and open standards connectivity to applications that monitor or control the devices. Drivers may be licensed individually or in suites.

Additional drivers can be licensed on demand as connectivity needs evolve.

An advanced plug-in extends the capabilities of the KEPServerEX connectivity platform. It provides enhanced server functionality, increasing the usefulness of data by transforming it beyond raw data in a device register.

Advanced plug-ins may be licensed individually or as part of suites, and can be licensed on demand as connectivity needs evolve.

I have installed kepware server in laptop means(remote server), but i want to connect kepware server in my desktop pc which is having ignition software, can i connect kepware server through reomote server in my ignition

Greetings,

as per title, I am unable to connect a Kepware server to a cloud instance of TWx. I've been able to connect multiple other servers, so the issue must be on this machine.

I configured the Project->Thingworx tab like I always do, after creating an industrial connection via ManApps and following the relative instructions, but I always get this error:

The machine which is running Kepware is still running Windows 7 and in order to install and run Kewpare I had to follow this article (CS321323) to install the required certificates, could my issue be related to this?

With the help of the support we've got to the cause of the problem, which was... a firewall.

I feel kinda dumb as I didn't bother to check before, but my colleagues assured me that the device wasn't blocked by any sort of firewall and it clearly wasn't the case.

Thank you all for the support and sorry for having wasted your time with my (non)issue.

The Thingworx instance is in the cloud, does it have a static IP address?

I don't know if TWx is running on SSL, but all the other Kepwares I configured use port 443 and had no issues and are currently communicating with the platform.

Hi @anarwal,

This Cloud instance is running on https (port 443) so you will need to configure the ThingWorx certificate in KEPServer to allow for the connection. Have you tried downloading the root certificate from ThingWorx and setting it up in the KEPServerEX Settings as per Configuring KEPServerEX/ThingWorx Industrial Connectivity to connect to SSL/TLS enabled ThingWorx Platform ?

No, I didn't try. I will try as soon as I can reach the device (the plant is now in production, I'll have to wait its next scheduled maintenance later this week) and let you know.

I did download some certificates in order to install Kepware (see my original post), are those sufficient or do I need to download the ones suggested in the article you posted?

The article you mentioned seems specific to the KEPServerEX installation and unrelated to ThingWorx and I believe that importing the ThingWorx root certificate into the KEPServerEX truststore is still required to allow for a connection between ThingWorx and KEPServerEX.

I've tried following the article you linked, I downloaded and imported the certificate in Kepware, but unfortunately I'm still getting the "could not establish a websocket connection".

Any other ideas? Could it be related to the Windows 7 version on the machine?

Do you have multiple Kepware servers connecting to ThingWorx with the same Industrial Connection Thing ?

Can you create another Industrial Connection Thing in ThingWorx and try again to connect with Kepware.
