SNMP Agent

Product Overview

Making industrial automation application data and information accessible to IT and Network Management Systems (NMS) is a challenge for the IT and Infrastructure Industry. Because most industrial automation devices and systems do not support SNMP (the IT standard), there are limited ways to identify these devices and systems within NMS applications.

The SNMP Agent provides an easy to use software platform for IT professionals to access automation systems and devices. It is a single application with over 150 communication drivers specifically built for industrial applications like Building Automation, Oil & Gas, IT and Infrastructure, Power & Utilities, and Water & Wastewater. The SNMP Agent enables most NMS to communicate with automation devices and automation systems.

The SNMP Agent enables IT professionals to monitor network-attached devices for conditions, avert and remedy failed internal processes, and fix unexpected external events. Monitoring and managing these devices and systems are critical to improving the reliability and performance of industrial automation networks.

All Kepware drivers are sold separately from the SNMP Agent.
