U-CON / Typical Applications/ Sensors and Instruments
In many automation applications sensors and measurement devices are connected to the control system via hardwired analog or digital connections. However there are often times where it is not cost effective to hardware sensors and measurement devices. Possibly you need to enhance an existing system control system and you need a less intrusive and more cost-effective way to incorporate new sensor data into your application; or you may want to collect measurement data via a methodology that is completely separate from the existing sytem. For these reasons most sensors and measurement devices used in automation and industrial applications support some type of serial or Ethernet communications. When an open protocol like Modbus is not available, Kepware's User-Configurable driver solution can be the most effective and efficient way to connect to your sensor or device.

Benefits of using U-CON for Sensor & Instrument connectivity:
- Cost-effective: better than custom code, toolkits, or proprietary integration.
- Leverages Proven Technologies: U-CON "plugs in" to Kepware's OPC/DDE server architecture.
- Seamlessly Connectivity: to the vast majority of HMI, Historian, SCADA, ERP, MES, and control systems in the automation market.
- Consistent & Maintainable: additional drivers are available for common protocols for Allen-Bradley, GE, Modbus, Mitsubishi, Siemens, Yokogawa and more.
- Powerful: one license includes Serial and TCP/IP connections.
- Scalability: No device or tag/point limits with complete licenses.
- Complete: License includes support and full documentation.
U-CON data acquisition software is a real-time OPC and driver solution for
