Connect to a device.
Connectivity is what Ignition is all about. Connect to a PLC on your network using the internal OPC-UA server, or a 3rd party OPC server. Don't have a PLC handy? No problem, you can skip this step or use one of the simulator drivers.
Connect to a database.
Database connectivity is at the heart of Ignition's most powerful features, like Transaction Groups and SQLTags Historian. If you have a SQL database, you can greatly increase Ignition's capabilities by adding a connection to it. No database? You can come back to this step later or skip it entirely.
Launch the Ignition Designer.
This is where the magic happens. Create a project and add windows and transaction groups. Besides the usual status and control functionality, take advantage of advanced charting, tables and reporting capabilities.
Launch a client. Or two. Or twenty.
Web-launched clients can be launched anywhere on your network from the panel below. With Ignition, you don't have licensing restrictions to limit you.
