Tapping the Power of Your Historical Data Robert McKenzie Director of Training / Inductive Automation This session talks about the how to control your data with an emphasis on using the SQL Bridge Module.

Historical Data Types of Historical Storage Tag History Simple Logging with Existing Tags Data Managed by Ignition SQL Bridge Module Fully Configurable Transaction Groups Bi-Directional Manual Data Management Tag history automatic configuration, just make a few selections and data is stored automatically uses existing tags, piggybacks off of existing realtime scan rates data is managed automatically by Ignition SQL Bridge Module transaction groups that allow you to configure how data is stored bi-directional data synchronization you decide how to store data this means you can retrieve or merge data with any program

Tag History Simple, Efficient Historical Storage Simple Setup Store in any database without SQL knowledge Partitioned tables created automatically Auto generated indexes Querying data is handled by Ignition Set up multiple tags at the same time with just a few clicks Data is stored in the database for you, no SQL knowledge needed Data is partitioned for you with just a few options to select from Indexes are automatically created based on timestamps and tagids Queries to return data are handled by ignition

SQL Bridge Module Simple History Stored Procedure Block Data Basic Data Storage Simple History Stored Procedure Block Data Simple History extremely simple logging get started in a few minutes configure any way you'd like Stored Procedure leverage existing or new stored procedures store/edit/remove data based on any criteria Block Group large amounts of data into blocks efficiently store, update, or synchronize blocks

Bi-Directional Synchronization Bi-Directional Data Synchronization Push data between PLCs Share date between historical DBs and ERP systems Synchronize data between as many devices and databases as you want Between devices and databasees Device to devices Synch database tables

Interact with Anything Connect more than just PLCs and databases Barcode Scanners Scales ERP systems Cloud Storage OEM devices Auto Generated Files barcode and QR scanners serial devices like scales connect directly and interact with ERP systems push data to cloud storage use automated file output systems like OEM devices to store data

Access Data from Anywhere Databases are universally accessible. Once your data is stored you can connect to it with almost any software and view any data collected. Use your data to: Create custom websites Interact with Warehouse and ERP systems Export files for accounting or other departments Feed other Ignition modules databases are universal, use other systems to access data websites to display data existing warehouse and ERP systems create file exports for other departments or storage

Solve Problems Meet Any Requirement Pull data from barcode scanners to track inventory Push stored recipes to your lines Trigger data capture on any condition Record big data efficiently Read OEM output files for data entry Take it a step further Solve any problem/Meet any requirement Use this tool for anything you can think of Examples Pull in data from barcode scanners and scales to track inventory in and out push stored recipe values to your lines at operator requests Use triggers to capture data for any condition or rate use block groups to transfer huge amounts of data efficiently read OEM output files and automatically enter that data in the database

Add Functionality Over Time Start small: SQL Bridge is a very cheap part of Ignition. It can be used as a stand-alone system or paired with the rest of Ignition. Once you start using Ignition you can expand it to include other modules Create PDF reports Set up alarm conditions Develop interactive HMI screens View data on Mobile devices Start small, low cost modules can be added later get going fast Use other Ignition modules reporting to create rich PDF reports vision to create screens to view and interact mobile to view data on tablets and phones

Creating Transaction Groups Get Logging Quickly Simple drag and drop Change targets and data types Visual execution set up Hour and Event Meter options Automatically create tables Set Trigger events Create complex Expressions Use the visual editor in the designer to set up groups simple drag and drop tags change item targets and types with drop-down lists visual interface to set execution rules Ignition automatically adds/edits tables set trigger events create complex expression items create hour meter or event meter options for any or all tags
