Applies To

  • Kepware Server (formerly KEPServerEX) 5.20.396.0 to 6.4.321.0
  • MySQL Connector/ODBC

Description

  • The KEPServerEX DataLogger Plug-in will insert Value, Quality, and Timestamp parameters for a tag into an ODBC-compliant database
    • Is it possible to concatenate three KEPServerEX String Values to create a custom Timestamp for a database insert?
      • Example
        • Tag "Channel1.Device1.Tag1" Value changes from 0 to 1
          • This triggers the log group to start logging
        •  At that moment, these Values are present for these tags:
          • "Channel1.Device1.Tag2" Value = 12
          • "Channel1.Device1.Tag3" Value = 20
          • "Channel1.Device1.Tag4" Value = 50
        • "12:20:50" is logged in mySQL
