Overview

GE Intelligent Platforms Ethernet Product Overview

The GE Intelligent Platforms Ethernet device driver provides data exchange between OPC clients and GE PLCs. Kepware automatically optimizes your data acquisition based on client demand. Data integrity is ensured with our extensive error handling. The GE Ethernet driver has been updated to support compatibility with major HMI applications making project conversion simple. This upgrade includes bit within register access and string support within register memory.

This driver is fully integrated with VersaPro, Logic Developer, and Proficy ME programming packages. A smart tag import wizard makes loading all of the tags in your PLC application a two-second operation, allowing simple access to all of your application data for any OPC or DDE enabled program.

This driver also supports PACSystems models RX3i and RX7i with Symbolic Variable support.
