– PORTLAND, Maine, June 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — KepwareR
, a PTC business developing industrial connectivity software, today announced the release of the KEPServerEXR version 6.2 industrial connectivity platform. Significant enhancements include new functionality for the CODESYS Ethernet driver, a new TIA Portal Exporter Utility, Configuration API support for the EFM Exporter, and improved interoperability with the ThingWorxR IoT Platform.
“Our top priority is supporting real-time data access as we continue to advance our products,” said Jeff Bates, Kepware Product Manager. “With version 6.2, we added additional device connectivity, improved the performance of important driver suites, and improved the functionality of project creation and management tools. This release directly addresses the needs of customers with growing or evolving projects that want to connect to additional devices, workcells, or lines without losing performance.”
Building upon the connectivity provided in its initial release, the CODESYS Ethernet driver for KEPServerEX version 6.2 now provides real-time read/write data access to devices running CODESYS V2.3 and V3. Customers with smart, connected operations using devices that run on CODESYS (a common PLC runtime and development environment) can now easily collect industrial data from disparate devices across their plant.
“By working together on the creation of the CODESYS Ethernet driver for KEPServerEX, Kepware and 3S-Smart Software Solutions have demonstrated how end users can benefit from open automation systems,” said Dieter Hess, CEO of 3S-Smart Software Solutions, the manufacturer of CODESYS. “On the one hand, several hundred different automation systems can now be linked via KEPServerEX. And on the other hand, CODESYS customers have more options for meeting their communication requirements.”
KEPServerEX version 6.2 also includes the following:
KEPServerEX version 6.2 also includes updates to 19 other server components, drivers, and advanced plug-ins.
