Overview
OverviewKepware's 32 bit Aromat Computer Link device driver works in conjunction with our OPC Server KEPServerEX, to provide data exchange between OPC Clients and Aromat Computer Link protocol compliant PLCs. 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 Aromat Communications OPC Server Suite. Purchasing either the Aromat Serial OPC Server, or the Aromat Ethernet OPC Server entitles you to both drivers.
*Note: The Aromat driver name is used for Matsushita and NAIS drivers.

Aromat/Matsushita/NAIS Serial OPC Driver Revisions| Driver updates below coincide with Server Release V4.270.416.0 (09/27/07) |
| All Drivers |
| - Fixed issue where server menu buttons like 'New', 'Open', 'Exit' would become permanently disabled when attempting to perform auto tag generation on a driver that had missing runtime dependencies. - Fixed issue that could occur when multiple items with the same scan rate are read by exception and another item is added/asynchronously read/removed at that same rate. This issue resulted in stale data for those tags read by exception. |
| Driver updates below coincide with Server Release V4.264.401 (06/01/07) |
| All Drivers |
| - Fixed issue in the driver library where it was possible to delete a tag prior to stopping it. This would result in the accessing of invalid memory which could eventually result in an exception that would prevent a channel from processing any tags. |
| Driver updates below coincide with Server Release V4.210.367 (11/17/06) |
| All Drivers |
| - Fixed issue where a rapid sequence of item add, sync read, and item remove requests could result in bad OPC quality for some items included in a block sync read and/or sync read timeouts. - Fixed issue with Unsolicited UDP Mode Ethernet Encapsulation mode, where driver would stop receiving unsolicited messages after sending a message. |
| Driver updates below coincide with Server Release V4.110.270 (3/22/04) |
| All Drivers |
| - Library fix affecting all drivers. |
| Driver updates below coincide with Server Release V4.90.237 (5/10/03) |
| All Drivers |
| All drivers have been updated to support 32 channels. (Exceptions are DDE Client driver, Modbus Plus, and SattBus). |
