EUCHNER EKS Ethernet ActiveX Module 1.0

EUCHNER EKS Ethernet ActiveX Module Developer: EUCHNER GmbH + Co. KG

The EUCHNER EKS Ethernet ActiveX Module is a Windows COM/ActiveX component that simplifies the integration of EUCHNER’s Electronic-Key-System (EKS) Ethernet readers into software applications. Designed for HMI/SCADA platforms and custom Windows programs, it provides a straightforward API to connect to EKS Ethernet devices, read key data, and implement secure login/logout workflows without low-level socket programming.

Key features:

• Easy integration with ActiveX-compatible environments such as Visual Basic, C/C++, many SCADA/HMI systems, and .NET via COM interop
• Methods to connect to EKS Ethernet readers, retrieve key identifiers, and access user data where supported by the hardware
• Event-driven notifications for key insert/remove, connection changes, and error conditions
• Configurable network parameters (IP, port, timeouts) and diagnostics to aid setup and troubleshooting
• Support for multiple reader instances within a single application
• Documentation and example code to accelerate development

Typical uses include role- and authorization-based access control on machines, operator logins that replace passwords, and traceability for regulated processes. By providing a stable, well-documented interface to EKS Ethernet readers, the module reduces development effort and helps ensure consistent, secure operator access management.

Note: Available functions may vary depending on the specific EKS Ethernet hardware and configuration.
