Description

  • How to create simulated tags in PTC Kepware Products
  • How to generate values in Kepserver to test then ThingWorx Native interface connection
  • How to simulate value streams
  • I am using the DDE Client driver for a project
    • However I have a need to create static tags that my program can write to that do not actually go to the device
    • This is for testing purposes until we are ready to write to the real tags
    • They do not have to maintain persistence when the runtime is restarted
    • I have tried creating a Simulator channel which looks like would solve my needs, but I can figure out how to stop it from auto updating (stay static unless my program writes to it), Any suggestions?
