Drivers “Plug In” to KEPServerEX
The Industrial Data Forwarder (IDF) for Splunk Plug-In is a plug-in device driver for KEPServerEX. A “Plug-in” is a software program (.dll) that extends the capabilities of KEPServerEX to fit the communication requirements of a specific device or system. The plug-in driver handles all of the proprietary communications between the device/system and the OPC layer, KEPServerEX. The KEPServerEX core then handles all OPC and Proprietary Client communications between the plug-in driver and the Client application.
