#Linkmaster kepware license#
Updated to the latest third-party license redistributables.Updated OpenSSL components to version 1.0.2j.This was most noticeable with a rate set to a high interval, such as five minutes or more. Resolved a design flaw in the client I/O refresh rate that could cause unwanted delay.Fixed an issue where connecting or disconnecting a client (including the Configuration) would incorrectly trigger a write to Link Outputs.Fixed a timing issue that could cause the Runtime to hang when loading a project or saving changes.Updated event log messages to use the correct icon for client/server related connection messages instead of a bug icon.Diagnostics are disabled by default and should only be enabled if instructed by technical support. Added a rudimentary OPC diagnostic logging capability to assist with troubleshooting connectivity issues with third-party OPC servers.Deadband can be accessed from the Input tab of Link Item properties and is most useful for Links using floating point data types. Added a deadband feature to reduce the write volume to Link Outputs.Added a checkbox to the General tab of Link Item properties to allow users to ignore quality and timestamp changes and only write change of value (COV) to output items.Added an option to allow non-zero dead values to force Booleans to false (choose Tools | Options in the Configuration and select the Links tab).Updated the Quick Browse window to automatically close after an item is selected (double-clicked).Fixed an issue that could cause slow browsing of the LinkMaster project from the Configuration.Corrected an issue where the Link Item Output datatype changed after closing the Link Item properties dialog.
#Linkmaster kepware update#
Resolved an issue where the Configuration did not update correctly after enabling the redundancy feature.Establishing DDE share names can be a time consuming process for the application, therefore, by default, NETDDE services are not enabled in LinkMaster. For DDE clients, LinkMaster will automatically start NETDDE services and register all of the required DDE shares, allowing remote DDE clients access to device data. In terms of OPC connections, LinkMaster will properly configure your DCOM settings to allow remote OPC clients to access and browse LinkMaster. LinkMaster has been designed to allow both of these methods of remote server access. NETDDE allows a remote DDE client application to use the machine name of a remote DDE server when specifying a DDE link. All of the DDE formats supported by LinkMaster can also be accessed remotely using what is known as NETDDE. DDE is not without its own means of allowing remote access. DCOM allows you to use a single OPC server to provide data to client applications running both locally and on remote machines. LinkMaster provides fully-featured data bridging, drag and drop link creation, error logging, support for creating Custom Remote Machine references, and more.īased on Microsoft's COM technology, OPC servers can share data with remote client applications using DCOM (Distributed COM). The benefit is reduced network traffic and increased reliability. While one item may need to be sent at high speed, other items in the application may need slower update rates. By using Link Groups with different update rates, you can tailor your data transfers to fit the needs of the application. Using multiple Link Groups, LinkMaster allows you to control how fast data is transferred from one OPC server to another. Link Groups are used to form collections of OPC items that will be moved between OPC servers at a specified rate. Built-in scaling, user-access manager, error tracking, and write optimization capabilities provide total control of your data flow and application access. Simply "Drag and Drop" to create your links.
#Linkmaster kepware windows#
LinkMaster is a fast and robust Windows application that requires no programming knowledge. LinkMaster acts as both an OPC server and DDE server, allowing it to bridge legacy DDE systems and new OPC-enabled applications.
LinkMaster provides a means of linking data between OPC servers, thus serving as a universal bridge for OPC systems.
