6 Reasons Why Ignition is Unique

Panelists

• Big Data, IoT are challenging companies to deal with larger volumes of data and make it actionable

The Demand for Data

• Companies consistently want to get more data to more people

The Demand for Data

• Larger enterprises with locations across the world need to share data constantly

• Within industrial organizations, there is a need to share operational data throughout the enterprise

The Demand for Data

• SCADA = Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

• Millions and millions of businesses use SCADA but it does not meet their increasing data needs

• You can’t acquire data if you can’t connect to it!

The Problems with Getting Data

• Data is hard to query when stored in proprietary systems

• Lack of interoperability leads to data silos

• Can’t get data in real time

The Problems with Getting Data

Ignition: The Ultimate in Data Acquisition

• Data acquisition is the main purpose our customers use Ignition for.

• Collect as much data from as many different sources as possible. Then query it, analyze it, or use it in any way that will benefit the organization.

Ignition: The Ultimate in Data Acquisition

• Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) capture data from the plant floor by monitoring inputs and outputs

• Ignition can also connect to just about any device through a range of drivers and modules.

Connect to PLC and Device Data

• Allen-Bradley Drivers Module

• Siemens Drivers Module

• Modbus Driver Module

• UDP and TCP Drivers Module

• DNP3 Driver Module

• Omron Driver

OPC-UA Driver Modules for Ignition

• Connect to Allen-Bradley CompactLogix/ControlLogix (including v21+), Logix, MicroLogix, SLC System, PLC-5, SLC PLCs with Ignition’s Allen-Bradley Driver Suite

• Connect to Siemens SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200 & S7-1500 PLCs with the Siemens Drivers Module

Connect to Allen-Bradley & Siemens PLCs

• The Modbus application protocol helps manage and pass data between various layers without having it be affected by the protocol used by the next immediate layer.

• The Modbus Driver allows the Ignition OPC-UA server to communicate with any device that supports the Modbus TCP protocol.

Connect to Modbus Devices

• Collect data from barcode scanners, weigh scales, analytical equipment & similar devices with the UDP and TCP Drivers Module.

• UDP and TCP Drivers connect and passively listen to one or more ports on a given IP address.

Connect to UDP & TCP Devices

• The DNP3 protocol is used by many electric and water utilities in North America to communicate between SCADA master stations and remote outstations.

• Communicate with devices that support the DNP3 protocol by using the DNP3 Driver Module for Ignition.

• Driver can also be used to set up Alias Point lists for DNP3 devices.

Connect to DNP3 Devices

• Connect to Omron NJ-series controllers with the Omron Driver Module for Ignition.

Connect with Omron Controllers

• Get data from legacy OPC servers that use DCOM by using the OPC-COM Module.

• Connect to third-party OPC-UA servers such as Kepware, Matrikon, or Beckhoff.

Connect to Third-Party OPC Servers

• Send and receive information over a serial port by using the Serial Module for Ignition.

Connect with Serial Ports

• Use the SECS-GEM Module for Ignition to connect with semiconductor fab equipment.

Collect Data from Field Devices with Ignition & MQTT

SQL Bridge Module:

• Connects and synchronizes PLCs with databases • Allows data to be posted to a SQL database• Allows data to be logged across all sites to a central

location• Moves data bidirectionally

Connect PLCs with SQL Databases

• PLCs are the devices best suited for moving plant-floor data to a database

• SQL databases make PLC data easily accessible by getting it into an open format

Move PLC Data From Plant Floor to Database

Ignition Connects with SQL Databases

Ignition is the 1st database-centric SCADA solution:

• Unlimited connections with almost any type of database, including SQL

• SQL databases are the most commonly used in the world

• Most standard enterprise systems use SQL databases

• SQL databases known for simplicity, speed, flexibility, ease of connectivity, and quick querying of related data

Ignition Connects to SQL Databases

Ignition Connects to SQL Databases

• Old SCADA doesn’t let you access real-time data easily

• Most SCADA software uses proprietary historians to compresses and store data

• Pulling data out of proprietary software and putting it into a usable format takes hours or days

• This keeps time-series data detached from the rest of the enterprise data

Time-Series Data

• Ignition uses SQL databases to log and store data in real time. You don’t have to pull it out of proprietary historian software.

• Get real-time, plant-floor data from anywhere while it's still relevant.

• It gives you answers in milliseconds, not in hours or days.

• See real-time trends and cross-reference any number of data sets.

Get Time-Series Data in Real Time

Connecting to Databases is Easy in Ignition

Connect SCADA, MES, and ERP

• Downtime• Quality • Recipe • Traceability • Scheduling• Genealogy• And more

Connect to MES Data

• When SCADA software utilizes SQL databases, getting SCADA and MES to communicate is fairly simple because both systems are speaking the same language.

• Ignition connects to and collects information at the MES level.

• Add third-party MES modules to your Ignition platform or easily integrate it with an existing MES system. Then connect to your ERP system.

Connect to MES Data

• Supply chains• Procurement• Human resources• Financials• Sales• And more

Connect to ERP Data

• Connect to either REST or SOAP web services

• Ignition can communicate with ERP systems to pull production orders from an ERP, update the ERP at the end of a production run, etc.

• It can also access work orders, schedules, product definitions, asset information, and more.

Connect to Web Services

Ignition Demo

Acquiring data is just the beginning …

• Once you’ve gathered data from multiple sources onto the Ignition platform, there is a whole set of powerful development tools you can use.

• Ignition has rapid application development tools, and a web-launched Designer application that provides concurrent design clients and a uniform design experience.

• Collect all of the data that you need and then build lots of great applications with it.

Get More Data and Do More With It
