SIXNET OPC Server Usage Tips…

This OPC server is designed to be one of the quickest and easiest way to interface your industrial Windows software to SIXNET I/O. This server talks SIXNET Universal to SIXNET I/O over Ethernet or serial connections and makes the data available via OPC or DDE. Most HMI, SCADA, or industrial Windows software packages now support either OPC or DDE.

When should I use this server to interface SIXNET I/O modules?

¢	1. Use the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit to configure and define I/O channel tag names for your SIXNET I/O.
	2. Use the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit to export this information to the KepServerEx. (Note: this requires a license for the SCS feature set of the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit.)
	3. Open the exported file in KepServerEx, make just a few additional settings and simply run it.
	4. Run the KepServerEx and your tags are now available to any OPC client. Just follow the directions for your OPC client to link in your tags.

Note: You only had to assign your I/O channel tag names once.

¢	When you want to interface to SIXNET I/O modules and other non-SIXNET devices simultaneously. Multiple drivers can be run at the same time to interface to several different types of hardware.

Note: A trial version of this driver is provided for SIXNET users and will run on a small amount of SIXNET I/O (up to two stations or modules totaling 32 I/O or less) without restriction. Contact Kepware Products to purchase an unrestricted copy of this driver for SIXNET or for other products.
