KEPServerEX OPC Server

KEPServerEX v5 is the next generation of Kepware communications technology and represents over 10 man year's worth of development, delivering both architectural and feature enhancements. KEPServerEX v5 will be the most advanced communication technology and OPC Server on the market and will remain the foundation for future Kepware development. Coupled with our new licensing utility we will be providing new vertical driver suites including Building Automation, Oil and Gas, and Water and Waste Water to name a few.

KEPServerEX v5 has been re-designed from the ground up to take advantage of new technology and positions it to move onto new automation platforms while leveraging legacy functionality.


Features:

Secure By Default.

The Secure by Default feature enables users to select whether or not the server should respect the DCOM security settings as they appear in the DCOM Configuration Utility. When this setting is enabled, users can select the authentication, launch and access security requirements through the DCOM Configuration Utility. This allows users to specify the level of security they want to implement and also restrict access for certain users and/or applications.

When this setting is disabled, the server will override the DCOM settings set for the application and will not perform any authentication on the calls received from client applications. It will impersonate the security of the client when performing any actions on behalf of the client application.

Process Mode

KEPServerEX runtime Process features are used to specify how the servers runtime process mode will operate and utilize PC resources. It is used to specify whether the server will be running as System Service or Interactive.

KEPServerEX also allows you to set its own process priority giving the server priority access to resources.

Processor Affinity

This parameter allows the user to specify which CPUs the server can be executed on when it is run on PCs containing more than one.

Host Name Resolution

KEPServerEX allows for host name resolution which is an alias assigned to identify a TCP/IP host or its interfaces. Host names are used in all TCP/IP environments and user can specify host name instead of an IP address when using KEPServerEX v5.

Remote Configuration

Configuration and Runtime are separated to allow for easy configuration when running as a service. The Configuration connects to the Runtime via the User Manager settings. The server can be configured from another PC whether it is running as a service or on the desktop. More than one Configuration can connect to a server Runtime but only the first Console that connects can administer KEPServerEX: the remaining consoles can only monitor it.

Server Administration Properties

The User Management system of the server controls what actions a user can take within a server project. The User Properties dialog is used to configure the name, password and privileges available for each account.
