Data Connect

Using XLReporter with KEPServerEX - DA


Overview
XLReporter takes process values directly from a PLC to a report without requiring a historian or database. This
is accomplished by “report-as-you-run” technology that automatically populates a workbook, periodically or
on event, without needing Excel. Completed reports are produced in workbook, PDF and web formats.

Prerequisites
Verify Communication
From the Kepware program group, open the KEPServerEX Configuration application then select Tools, Launch
OPC Quick Client.

Expand Kepware.KEPServer.EX.V6, then a folder like _System.


 Verify the tags have a good quality data value.

If at any point you experience an issue with this client, contact Kepware technical support to troubleshoot and
correct these issues.

dropdown list or enter an IP address.

installed verify the following file exists:
 64 - bit OS C:\Windows\SysWow64\OPCEnum.exe

If the components are not installed then they are provided in the tools folder of the installation or from
www.opcfoundation.org.
