I write PC software that communicates with A-B PLCs via EtherNet/IP and Siemens PLCs via S7 (or OPC-UA if the controller supports it and has the license on it).ДЄs for pricing, even in Siemens PLCs that have integrated OPC-UA servers, you have to pay for an additional license to use that functionality.

You pay for a Rockwell OPC driver because itвЂ™s unlikely that the software you want communicating with the PLC (like a SCADA or historian package) supports EtherNet/IP or PCCC comms, but likely that it supports OPC. The PLCвЂ™s can be communicated with via EtherNet/IP or PCCC directly. Honestly, this sounds too good to be true, considering that other SCADA servers that I have experience with usually start in the $1000's and go up from there based on the number of tags and different modules.Дoes anyone here have experience with using Kepware for a project? How did you find the pricing to be in reality, along with its ease of use, etc.

I was talking to a Kepware Sales Rep this morning, and they are telling me that the only cost we would have for being able to connect to multiple AB PLCs in the plant would be a yearly $452 fee based on their subscription license for the Rockwell Suite of drivers. We will be connecting to several Allen-Bradley PLCs at a single site, and pulling data for dashboards and analytics.

I've only worked with Kepware through its demo software, usually using Ignition or proprietary controls communication for getting data from a PLC in our actual projects.
