Right click on your channel select properties and verify that diagnostics capture is enable
If it's present either your demo time has run out or if you have a licensed version something is wrong and you'll have to contact PTC support about it.Ģ)If it is a licensed version (or non-time expired demo) have you looked at the diagonstics in KepServer to see that it's actually on the channel you set up for this device? Scroll through your the KepServer event log(default location is a docked window at the bottom of the KepServer window) and look for Licensing under the source header, and then check and see if the event is Time Limited usage period on feature MODBUS TCP/IP has expired. If your in Demo Mode it's limited to a 2 hour runtime and just closing the window doesn't reset that timer(Re-intilizing it doesn't do it either), you actually have to stop the process and restart it to get another 2 hour window. You will need to take a quick moment to sign up for the My Kepware web portal before you will be able to log in to that page.I have done project with KepServer before mostly with AB but some with UniStream, Couple questionsġ)Are you running a licensed version of KepServer or is it in demo mode? You can download KEPServerEX V5 or V6 from the My Kepware Home page here: It will not be possible to install KEPServerEX V6 on Windows XP, but you can install KEPServerEX V5- including the final release v5.21- on Windows XP. Or, can you b) read the values you need to monitor in RSView32 through tags in KEPServerEX? If so, you can connect RSView32 as an OPC Client to KEPServerEX, and allow KEPServerEX to be the single point of communication with the device. If the additional cable is not possible, what is the information being monitored by RSView32? Can you either, a) alternate between the use of RSView32 and KEPServerEX, if the data is needed at different times for different reasons? Because of this, your first option will be to connect an additional RS232 cable (if the PC and PLC 5/40 can both accommodate this).
There is no specification of a Source or Destination identity in the Serial connection layer, and the communication streams would become confused if the OS were to allow this. Answering your questions in reverse order: yes, you are correct, it will not be possible for the two locally-installed applications to connect simultaneously through the same COM port.
