The integration of Kepware Technologies' KEPServerEX software adds 39 new third-party protocols to the QuickPanel View platform.
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has enhanced its QuickPanel View products to allow greater integrated communications with a vast array of products through collaboration with Kepware Technologies' KEPServerEX.
"By using Kepware Technologies' software, we added 39 new third-party protocols to the QuickPanel View platform and will add 97 protocols for View Runtime on the PC platform", says Paul Daugherty, Operator Interface Product Manager for GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.
"We can now easily connect the benefits of our QuickPanels to virtually any device in the world".
"This helps manufacturing run better".
A joint development team from Kepware Technologies and GE Fanuc worked to integrate KEPServerEX and drivers into GE Fanuc's award-winning Proficy Machine Edition View software.
This integration means that users can add drivers, devices and tags just as they did before.
Tag Variables are created once and once only.
Integration provides consistency in configuration from driver to driver and access to in-depth diagnostics for troubleshooting.
QuickPanel View drivers are included in the Machine Edition View Development package.
Available in a variety of display sizes, the QuickPanel View bundled visualisation solution provides the tools required for today's application needs.
By integrating the best-selling QuickPanel family of touch screens with Proficy Machine Edition software, QuickPanel View delivers flexible, scalable performance on a rugged hardware platform.
The intuitive environment of Proficy View - Machine Edition software helps reduce application development time, and connectivity is made easy with a family of serial, Ethernet and fieldbus interfaces.
"GE Fanuc is a leading vendor in the HMI/Scada and HMI panel marketplaces and we are excited to have been selected as a supplier of communications technology", says Roy Kok, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Kepware Technologies.
"GE Fanuc has always been a supplier of open technology and this relationship will significantly enhance their ability to serve customers with third-party controller solutions".
"Because our system is open and connected", adds GE Fanuc's Daugherty, "users can configure it to act as the bridge between the enterprise and the plant floor providing useful data in managing the business".
"As information needs grow, the hardware easily grows as well with the ability to connect to any device with more than 100 built in drivers and a wide range of communications options".
"We are very excited about the possibilities for our customers".
