The Kepware Simulation Suite makes a great way to share, move, contain, and distribute data in automation applications.There are also enhancements to a wide range of existing protocols including Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Allen-Bradley DF1, Allen-Bradley Ethernet, BACnet, DNP Ethernet and Serial, GE Fanuc Ethernet, GE Fanuc SNP and SNPX, Honeywell UDC Ethernet and Serial, Modbus ASCII Serial, Modbus Ethernet, Modbus Serial, Modbus Unsolicited Serial, Omron Host Link, Omron Process Suite, SattBus Ethernet and Serial, TIWay Host Adapter, Triconex, UCON, Yokogawa Controller Serial, and Yokogawa DXP. This suite enables vendors to create powerful solutions for application development and testing, Although this is a simulation product, there are a surprising number of production uses for this Simulation Suite. The final new driver is a Memory Based driver which combines with our existing Advanced Simulator driver to offer a new Simulation Suite. The ROC Plus protocol driver is intended for use with ROC809 and ROC827 devices. The Kepware ROC driver is intended for use with the following devices: FloBoss 103104, FloBoss 407, and FloBoss 500 Series, ROCPAC & FlashPAC of the ROC 300 Series, and RegFlo. Emersons Fisher ROC devices are general-purpose RTUs designed for a variety of measurement and control applications, including gas flow measurement. This release also delivers a new ROC and ROC Plus driver to support Fisher Remote Operations Controllers. Kepwares new WeatherBug for Automation driver provides real-time access to live weather data, from the national network of WeatherBug® Tracking Stations, forecasts and weather alerts for use in virtually any automation system. In addition to new Drivers, this release includes enhancements to the KEPServerEX Server core, the free OPC Quick Client, the ODBC DataLogger component, and 24 existing driver protocols.Kepware delivers new functionality that has never been available in the automation world, until now.

Kepware OPC products are continually improved. OctoPortland, ME KEPServerEX now includes new communications drivers delivering support for WeatherBug for Automation, Fisher ROC and Fisher ROC Plus protocols, and a Memory Based driver for simulations.The latest generation of Kepware's OPC server technology, KEPServerEX, was designed to allow users to quickly set up communications from equipment to control systems via a wide range of available "plug-in" device drivers and components.
