[00:00] In this school, we're going to learn about Ignition. Ignition is a software platform provided by Inductive automation. In short, Ignition is HMI, SCADA, and MES software. Ignition can be an HMI, or Human Machine Interface, allowing you to build real-time status and control screens that monitor and control your machines. Ignition's also SCADA, which stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, allowing you to acquire data and allow you to store information to a database as well as do alarming, all from a central location. Ignition is also MES which stands for Manufacturing Execution Systems. This is the layer between ERP and the plant floor providing solutions such as OEE downtime, SPC, track and trace and rescue management. Ignition itself is a modular industrial applications server. So it's installed as server software and is web-based, web-managed and has web launch designers and clients. You will need to install software in a single place called the server.
Inductive Automation's Co-Directors of Sales Engineering, Travis Cox and Kevin McClusky expertly guide you through a lengthy and detailed demo of the most po. Ignition Early Access. This Forum is a place for user feedback, bug reporting, and feature requests for the EARLY ACCESS versions of Ignition. These are the downloads that are available from the “Early Access” section of the downloads page, and include Release Candidates (RC) and Nightly Betas.
[01:03] Ignition is also modular in that you can add pieces of software to Ignition called modules to add new functionality. Ignition can do a lot of different things because of the connection points it has. We like to think of Ignition as a communications hub. Ignition can connect any PLC through OPC. In fact, Ignition has a built-in OPC-UA server with drivers to popular PLCs. Ignition can also connect to any third-party OPC-DA or OPC-UA server, allowing you to connect to practically any PLC that exists in the market. Ignition can connect to any web service, typically ERP systems expose web services that we can communicate to. Ignition can connect to any database, SQL database, whether that be my SQL, Microsoft SQL server or Oracle Postgres DB2 and more. So Ignition can connect to other MES and ERP systems. It can also connect to LIMS devices, such as barcode scanners, scales, sensors and special laboratory equipment that companies use.
[02:01] Once you go over the application, it's very easy to get the application to people's hands. Ignition can, you can open up the run time, of the client on any PC regardless of the operating system, on touch panels as well as mobile devices. Ignition can do a lot of different things. Of course it can do the HMI SCADA functionality. We have a built-in high performance historian where you can log data to any SQL database. That includes compression algorithms. Has a reporting engine built in to create dynamic PDF reports. You can build database applications where simply you're run into a database such as a POS point of sale or a CRM, customer relationship management system and even inventory tracking systems. Some customers like to convert Microsoft Access programs to Ignition allowing multiple people to view the data. Ignition has state-of-the-art alarming engine built-in allowing you to create alarms and then notify people via voice, SMS and email. In the alarming system, you have pipelines that allow you to customize how you want to escalate alarms to get them to the right people.

[03:03] You can build MES applications such OEE Downtime, SPC, Recipe Management and more. You can even take all these different features and mix and match them on the same screen. So what makes Ignition so special? First, Ignition has hassle-free licensing. Ignition is sold by the server license and with that, you can add an unlimited number of clients, screens, tags, connections and devices. The designer is included with the product and you can launch as many concurrent designers as you want working on the same project at the same time. Ignition installs in your server in under three minutes. It's very quick and easy to get going with the software. It's also 100% fully cross platform, can run on any flavor of Windows, MAC and Linux.
Ignition 8 Demo Tool
[00:00] The Ignition Perspective app is a mobile application that can be downloaded and installed on any modern iOS or Android operating system. You'll notice that I have an emulated Android device here, and I've already downloaded and installed the Ignition Perspective app on this device. You can find the Ignition Perspective app on your local app store such as the Google Play Store for Android or the App Store for iOS. While a Perspective application can be launched from a mobile device's web browser, the Ignition Perspective app allows us to utilize the tools that the mobile device has available such as the accelerometer, the camera, or any geolocation data. I'm going to open up the app by clicking on it, and it takes us into the application where we can see a list of all of our potential Perspective projects that we can launch. Here we can see that I can actually launch two different Perspective projects from two entirely separate gateways. This first one here is the online demo project which I can launch from the Ignition. 8.0 Demo Server Gateway. The other is a project called test, which I can launch from the Inductive_University Gateway. To add additional Perspective projects that we can launch within the app, we simply need to click the plus button down in the lower right-hand corner. We are then presented with two options. We can either scan a QR code that may have the information that we need to navigate to a Perspective project, or we can do a gateway search where we will search on the network for an available gateway that has Perspective projects on it. Clicking on Gateway Search also allows me to select from gateways that I've used previously or manually input a gateway hostname and port if it doesn't find it automatically. Back on the main screen, we can also filter the list of projects that we see in this list by clicking on the magnifying glass up at the top to filter the list of applications. This allows us to find the project that we want to launch a little bit easier if we have a large list of projects. The Ignition Perspective app also has some settings that we can configure by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Here you can do things like organize the list of gateways or automatically launch a project when you open up the Ignition Perspective app. Let's go ahead and launch one of our Perspective projects now. I'm going to go back to the main screen and to launch a project, I simply need to select it from the list. I'm going to click on the Online Demo to launch this Perspective application. Here we see our Perspective application in our mobile device. Just like within the web browser, The applications launch within the mobile device are mobile responsive, so if I change the orientation of my device, the application will automatically adjust with my new configuration. As I mentioned earlier, because it's a native application that's running within the mobile device, it does have access to extra features that the mobile device has available such as a camera, accelerometer and a geolocation.
