NOTIFICATION!
Effective Immediately:
Infilink-HMI and KEPserverEX Price Increase
New Pricing:
NOTE:
While these prices are effective immediately, we do understand that you may have outstanding quotes at the old pricing. For these situations, let us know, and we will provide the old pricing for the next 30 days.
We do offer Infilink-HMI sold without an OPC server or communication drivers. Please contact KEP if you are interested in this option, as our costs are much lower in this situation.
WHY THE INCREASE?
KEPWare has increased their price on KEPServer from $795 for version 4, to $995 for version 5, to $1095 for version 6. And, they now require a support agreement, which is about $200 per license. Since KEPWare's list price has increased by $500, and we bundle any one KEPServer PLC driver with Infilink-HMI, we need to increase the Infilink-HMI list pricing. For now, we are holding this price increase to $300.
Introducing KEPServerEX Version 6
With new enhancements to core server functionality and user experience, this industry-leading industrial connectivity platform is enterprise-ready, IT-friendly, and secure.
Programmatic Changes via the Configuration API
The new REST-based API enables users to remotely apply programmatic changes to the KEPServerEX configuration via third-party client applications (including SCADA, HMI, IoT applications, and simple web applications). These changes include adding, editing, reading, and deleting objects (such as channels, devices, and tags) in the server. This feature is especially helpful for users with large and constantly-changing projects or companies who want to:
* Programmatically build KEPServerEX project files
* Protect the KEPServerEX project configuration by limiting modifications made by lower-level users
The Configuration API enables programmers to create simple webpages where users can identify the properties that change, and then programmatically create the channels, devices, and tags to the company standard. It also enables the use of templates to standardize creation and naming among different types of devices-ensuring consistency and increasing user efficiency.
