Kepware KEPServerEX V6

KEPServerEX V6 was designed to meet the connectivity challenges of the IIoT and Industry 4.0, making more information accessible to more clients while running enterprise-wide as an integrated connectivity layer or single standalone server.

It offers a number of enhancements, including enhanced multilingual support, a remote programmatic configuration API, native OPC UA technology, streamlined server licensing, deployment and maintenance, integrated security, and improved user experience.

In KEPServerEX V6, core components and key drivers have been localised into Japanese and German — enabling seamless user navigation and configuration for increased accessibility, safety and productivity for these native speakers, while the REST-based configuration API enables users to make remote programmatic changes to the KEPServerEX configuration via third-party or custom client applications.

To streamline the process of moving data between the device and application layers, the KEPServerEX OPC UA Client driver, OPC UA server interface and OPC tunnelling solution have been improved through the native development of OPC UA technology. It includes robust diagnostics and supports the high performance and scalability required in today’s environments. KEPServerEX Version 6 also features an improved licence process that dramatically streamlines the steps needed to activate, maintain and manage all licences enterprise-wide, and the Security Policies advanced plugin has been integrated into the core server functionality and is now included with all licences.

An updated user interface streamlines project set-up, deployment and interaction for an improved user experience and enhanced product manageability.
