Ignition 8 Platform

Web-based, Cross-platform, Mobile access, Unlimited licenses, Real-time control, Secure and stable, Easy to integrate, Scalable.

Description

Ignition 8 is a software solution that integrates Scada–HMI (control, supervision, data acquisition and visualization), MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management) and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) functionality in a single environment. Successfully used in tens of thousands of applications implemented in over 100 countries in the most diverse industrial sectors (Automotive, Food,

Bottling, Consumer Goods, Steel Mills, Environment and Territory, etc.), the Ignition software platform has been chosen by the largest companies in the world, including 46 of the Fortune 100: Coca Cola, Walt Disney, FCA, Morgan Stanley, Shell, Goodyear and many more.

Based on the most performing database access technologies, Ignition 8 allows you to respond to the growing needs for data collection, real-time analysis and integration with IT systems coming from the world of industrial automation, and to fully implement the principles of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things.

The new and revolutionary release 8.1 has been expanded with numerous new features, which have increased its levels of flexibility and scalability, as well as a higher level of security and complete openness towards the mobile world.

The Perspective module for the 'mobile' world

lgnition Perspective is the biggest new feature in lgnition 8: specifically optimized for mobile devices, it allows you to create the next generation of responsive web applications for the industrial world. It is a completely new module, designed to enable the creation of responsive mobile applications, running natively on any handheld device or web browser.

Perspective is fully compatible with HTML5 and CSS3, allows you to exploit the full power of the device's touch inputs and, if used via the Mobile App, also allows direct access to the integrated sensors (GPS, video camera, accelerometer, etc.).

With lgnition Perspective you can easily design complex page layouts that automatically adapt to different screen sizes, all in a single design environment: lgnition Designer.

Vision Module

The Vision module allows you to create HMI pages for viewing and analyzing data, both historical and real-time, as well as for controlling the system, using summary pages, animated synoptics, tables and interactive graphs.

Since all clients are connected to the central server, everyone will have constant access to up-to-date data.

SQL Bridge Module

Data Recording (periodic or event-based) and Data Exchange between PLC and Database (also bidirectional) functions, configurable in a simple and intuitive way, without writing code:

  • Unlimited Tags
  • From any data source {embedded drivers, OPC-DNUA, databases, files, webservices, etc)
  • To any SQL Database
  • No data loss {Store&Forward)
  • Automatic creation of tables in the database
  • Freely accessible “clear” data

Tag Historian Module

The Tag Historian module allows you to transform any SQL database into a high-performance Tag Historian. Integration with the development environment allows for easy configuration and automates table creation and management, allowing even those with no experience with SQL databases to use it.

The Tag Historian module supports compression, partitioning, interpolation and aggregation for any SQL database, making it the ideal choice for storing valuable historical information of any application.

Report Module

  • Graphic editor for creating reports, including parametric ones
  • Possibility to integrate custom models
  • Logos, Graphs, Tables, Barcodes, etc
  • Real-time data visualization
  • Automatic generation of reports (scheduling) in different formats
  • Print, Save to file, Send email, FTP, etc..

Alarm Notification Module

Alarm notification module via email, SMS and voice call, also standalone:
  • Flexible and dynamic alarm configuration
  • Graphical editor for defining notification and escalation logics (pipelines) (multiple notification, delayed, etc.)
  • Alarm notification based on Roles, contact information of each User (language, notification type, etc.) and on Work Shift Planning
  • Consolidating multiple alarms into a single notification message
  • Notification with acknowledge (2-way)

SFC Module

Graphical editor for creating logic and sequences using the SFC formalism (phases, transitions):
  • IEC 61131-3 Standard
  • Running multiple instances of the same sequence simultaneously
  • Ability to monitor the progress of each sequence in real time
