  • ThingWorx Kepware Server (legacy) 8.0 to 6.17

Description

  • After a reboot or restart, the Advanced Tags links are dead until launching/connecting any Client(including Quick Client)
  • Advanced tags are not functioning properly but start working when disabled and then re-enabled
  • I am having issues with the Advanced Tag configuration on an installation of KepServerEX v6.15
    • I have ~100 advanced tags configured to read values from different devices and write them into my main Allen-Bradley PLC
    • I have run into an issue multiple times where I found the values have stopped updating in my main PLC
    • When this happens, I go to the device for my main PLC in Kepware and launch the quick client so I can see the values
    • As soon as the quick client opens and connects, my values start updating again in the main PLC
    • Is there something that can cause the advanced tags to lock up?
    • Why does opening the quick client cause it to start working again?
