capabilities of the Ignition platform
Ignition SCADA Development
Ignition SCADA by Inductive Automation is an integrated, server-centric industrial application platform used for developing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Human-Machine Interface (HMI), and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems. Unlike traditional industrial software, Ignition uses an unlimited licensing model (unlimited tags, clients, and concurrent developers per server license) and standard IT technologies like SQL databases and Python scripting
Ignition HMI Development
Ignition HMI development by Inductive Automation utilizes a centralized, server-based environment to build secure, scalable industrial interfaces. Using the free Ignition Designer, you can instantly drag-and-drop components, configure alarms, and bind real-time or historical data directly to plant floor PLCs and databases
Ignition Perspective
Ignition Perspective by Inductive Automation is a powerful, browser-based module that allows you to build responsive, HTML5 industrial web applications. It operates natively across desktops, mobile devices, and touch panels without needing local client installations, streamlining deployment directly from a web browser
Ignition Gateway Configuration
The Ignition Gateway is managed via its web interface, accessible at http://localhost:8088. To configure your gateway, navigate to the Config tab. Here, you can set up device connections, connect to databases (like SQL or OPC), manage users, and configure high-level parameters under Gateway Settings.
Ignition Module Development
Ignition module development involves creating custom software extensions using the Java-based Ignition SDK. Developers build custom communication drivers, design specialized Perspective components, or add new scripting functions to seamlessly integrate proprietary or advanced features into the Ignition SCADA platform.
Ignition Reporting
The Ignition Reporting Module by Inductive Automation enables you to build rich, dynamic, and automated PDF or CSV reports. Built directly into the Ignition Designer, it allows you to pull data from SQL queries, Tag Historian records, and Python scripts, and distribute them via email or network drives
Ignition Alarming
Ignition SCADA provides a highly customizable and flexible alarming engine directly within its platform. It allows you to define alarm conditions based on tag values, track alarm history, and send real-time notifications to necessary personnel via email, SMS, or voice.
Ignition Tag Historian
he Ignition Tag Historian Module is a database-agnostic tool developed by Inductive Automation that transforms any standard SQL database into a high-performance, time-series data historian. It automates the complex process of data collection, table creation, and storage management, enabling users to log industrial data with a single click
Ignition SQL Bridge
The Ignition SQL Bridge Module is a core SCADA software extension developed by Inductive Automation that acts as a bidirectional data gateway between industrial PLCs (via OPC servers) and SQL databases. It is widely referred to as the platform's "Swiss Army Knife" because it allows engineers to map plant floor tags directly to custom database tables without writing complex code.
Ignition MES Solutions
An Ignition-based Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a unified software solution used to track, monitor, and optimize production processes. It is typically built on the Ignition platform by Inductive Automation, using specialized partner modules (like Sepasoft or SparkMES) to provide out-of-the-box OEE, traceability, and ERP integration capabilities
Ignition IIoT Solutions
Ignition by Inductive Automation is a universal industrial application platform that bridges the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) to deliver robust Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions. It features a unique unlimited licensing model (no extra costs per tag, client, or device) and utilizes standard, open technologies like MQTT and OPC-UA.
