KEPServerEX 5.10 Features ABB TotalFlow Driver, Electronic Flow Measurement Support

Dec. 3, 2012
KepwareĀ® Technologies releases KEPServerEXĀ® 5.10 with new ABB TotalFlow communications driver, additional support to the Electronic Flow Measurement (EFM) option, and EFM support to the Fisher ROC and ROC+ drivers for the Oil & Gas industry. Kepware also made enhancements to its entire library of communication drivers covering all industries and enhanced the KEPServerEX communications server platform to streamline management and diagnostics of devices.

Keeping track of who provided how much product to a pipeline is a laborious and difficult task associated with custody transfer in the midstream and upstream markets. Kepwareā€™s KEPServerEX helps streamline the delivery of information across the Oil & Gas supply chain by automatically polling the pipelineā€™s Flow Computers and collecting their historical flow data. This data is then formatted properly and stored locally for input to the industryā€™s leading flow analysis and accounting solutions such as Flow-Cal and PGAS, via KEPServerEXā€™s enhanced EFM Exporter. The EFM Exporter now includes the ability to export user-configurable CSV files for use in custom flow-analysis solutions, operational monitoring and analysis, as well as easy data storage.

Kepware continues to enhance its core server with a focus on deployment, management, and diagnostics.Ā  All drivers in Kepwareā€™s EFM Suite now offer both EFM and real-time data, allowing customers to consolidate their data into a single-server communications platform. Additional KEPServerEX 5.10 features include:

  • New driver for ABB Totalflow devices.
  • New EFM support to the companyā€™s existing Fisher ROC and ROC+ drivers, further enhancing communications to Flow Computers.
  • Added COM port sharing for serial-based drivers. This new feature serializes multiple communication protocols over a single network in order to streamline telemetry over radio or modem systems. This functionality is particularly relevant for telemetry applications, including Oil & Gas, Water/Waste Water, and Power Distribution.
  • New organizational views in the server Configuration enables more efficient management of large projects. The added feature enables users to ā€œOrganize by Driverā€ and ā€œOrganize by Connection,ā€ helping individuals efficiently diagnose and correct network issues. In addition, users now have the ability to view shared connections as well as what Network Interface Cards and virtual networks are being used.
