Description:
Kepware's 32 bit Yaskawa MP Ethernet device driver works in conjunction with our OPC Server KEPServerEX, to provide data exchange between OPC Clients and Yaskawa MP 920 PLCs using the 218IF card. KEPServerEX automatically optimizes your data acquisition based on client demand. Data integrity is ensured with our extensive error handling. This driver is part of the Yaskawa OPC Server Suite.
