Data may be bridged from tag-to-tag within the same driver with KEPServerEX system tags or through any KEPServerEX plug-in. This feature allows users to bridge data between tags from one driver to a separate driver utilizing different protocols.
They are also part of the Power Distribution Suite, which includes several other drivers relevant to the market.The 5.3 release also delivers a significant new feature to the Advanced Tag option for KEPServerEX: Link Tags. The DNP drivers are available as a Serial and Ethernet bundle called the DNP Suite. Added enhancements made to the DNP drivers include improved optimization for low-bandwidth and noisy communication channels, as well as new diagnostic messages for better management of errors, alarms, and general notifications. The advent of the DNP3.0 will enable secure, integrated and optimal performance of wireless applications on a single network by allowing parallel conversations with field devices at the same time. CalAmp is a provider of wireless communications for access to critical data and is an early adopter of DNP communications for the Smart Grid. DNP also has applications for the Smart Grid, which requires the coordination of multiple protocols coexisting on a common communications network.
The DNP3.0 Suite allows users to automatically connect, control, and manage devices from local or remote substations and bound to a virtual network of device communications. The unique capabilities of the DNP drivers provide utilities professionals with a comprehensive communication solution at an affordable price. It is utilized in many related industries, including Water/Waste Water Management, Transportation, and Oil & Gas.
In addition, the Advanced Tag Option now contains the ability to link data between any tags identified in the KEPServerEX network.The DNP protocol was developed as a standards-based interoperability solution for Electric Utilities and Power Distribution, allowing communications between substation computers, RTUs, Intelligent Electronic Devices, and master stations. The Automatic Device Discovery feature for SNMP and Ping drivers allows KEPServerEX to scan a network, detect devices, and then choose devices and their associated tags for import. New features allow OPC server KEPServerEX to coordinate device communications over virtual networks. This release adds the DNP3.0 Ethernet and DNP3.0 Serial drivers to the KEPServerEX v5 Suite of communication protocols. J Kepware Technologies released KEPServerEX version 5.3.
