Features:

OPC Connection Security

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.

OPC UA (Unified Architecture)


KEPServerEX supports OPC UA Client Connections and the OPC DA data set.

OPC AE (Events)

KEPServerEX exposes event log data (Events) to OPC AE Client applications. The Event server works in runtime and service modes supporting 3 Event categories (Information, Warning, Error). KEPServerEX also supports AE client filtering by event type, severity, and category and is OPC Compliant.

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.
