The 6 Fundamentals of Ignition About Ignition The 6 Fundamentals of Ignition Web-Based Deployment Unlimited Licensing Security & Stability Easy Expandability Rapid Development Real-Time Control & Monitoring There are 6 key characteristics that make Ignition different from other SCADA packages: 1. Web-Based Deployment - With Ignition you can instantly launch clients from a central server to any individual machines equipped with a web-browser. 2. Unlimited Licensing - Ignition is unlimited so you have the freedom to add an unlimited number of clients, screens, tags, connections, and devices - at no extra cost. 3. Security & Stability - Ignition is built upon industrial-grade security technology with a solid, unified architecture and built-in redundancy. 4. Real-Time Control & Monitoring - Ignition’s real-time status controls and analysis give you the power to quickly analyze and easily display the status of your facility. 5. Rapid Development - Ignition’s object-oriented rapid development environment allow you to quickly create powerful, dynamic HMI / SCADA projects with ease. 6. Easy Expandability - Ignition’s modular architecture is extremely flexible and scalable to perfectly fit your company’s HMI, SCADA, or MES requirements. Ignition grows with you so it’s the perfect fit for your company today and tomorrow.
Ignition: The Ultimate in Data Acquisition Ignition is a communications hub; it connects with just about anything. As we said, it offers unlimited connections It can connect to all your PLCs and devices through OPC and MQTT protocols, all major databases, historians, any MES or ERP system, and web services We’re going to take a closer look at all of those data sources in this webinar.
What are Modules? Ignition is a modular software platform system offering a high degree of customization. The Ignition platform is made up of individual core modules that are designed to work seamlessly together. This architecture makes Ignition extremely flexible and scalable as individual modules can easily be updated and added to perfectly fit your company’s HMI, SCADA, MES and IIoT requirements.

Ignition IIoT Architectures Private On-Premise Network Solution You can also set this same architecture up as a private on-premise solution. In this architecture, the MQTT server can be hosted on-site instead of in the cloud, and with the MQTT Distributor Module you can launch the MQTT server right from your own Ignition Gateway.

State-of-the-art Alarming What Does Ignition Do? State-of-the-art Alarming
What Does Ignition Do? Streamline the creation, organization, and visualization of robust logic systems. Sequential Function Charts are a standardized programming method. SFCs will be familiar to many users who have experience in programming PLCs, or who have designed windows or alarm notification pipelines in Ignition. We’ve cross-pollinated SFCs into Ignition. Why? Because certain types of complex logic are difficult to write using scripting alone. SFCs help to streamline the creation, organization, and visualization of robust logic systems. The SFC Module allows you to write complex logic in a simpler, more visual way. In addition to using scripting and tags, you can build charts with steps, transitions, and other drag-and-drop elements.

Enterprise Administration Module (EAM) • Control and monitor multiple Gateways from a central Gateway • Schedule, automate, and track maintenance tasks from one central location • Built on an HTTP-based, high-performance, firewall-friendly communication system • Agent Gateway health indicators can quickly monitor for abnormal health in an agent • Simplified tasks across multiple Gateways • Remote project management Remote license activation • Scheduled actions Alarms for agent Gateway failure • And more!
Create an efficient & secure IIoT data pipeline through MQTT. What Does Ignition Do? Create an efficient & secure IIoT data pipeline through MQTT. You can even use Ignition to set up your own IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) solution. With the Cirrus Link MQTT Modules for Ignition you can create an efficient & secure IIoT data pipeline through MQTT. The Cirrus Link MQTT Modules for Ignition add the functionality to the Ignition platform to bidirectionally communicate with edge-of-network devices securely via an MQTT server to publish and subscribe IIoT data throughout the enterprise. Adding these modules to the Ignition platform empowers organizations to create one streamlined pipeline for all IIoT data, increasing throughput and efficiencies of data acquisition. The key benefits of using the MQTT modules: - Increased data throughput & efficiencies - Self-learning data tags - Exceptional redundancy & security - Automatic system health metrics
