Ignition Server Sizing and Architecture Guide

This guide is intended to provide some tips to help you determine the correct architecture depending on your requirements. It is important to note that any architecture that you come up with needs to be fully tested and verified. Throughout that process you can observe the performance characteristics of the server in order to make any necessary adjustments to the architecture. There is no guarantee on performance since it is based on your design choices.

Better Asset Monitoring for Dublin Airport

The Dublin Airport Fixed Electrical Ground Power (FEGP) system gathers aircraft ground power usage data. It compiles, stores, and sends the resulting records to the Dublin AOS system (a part of the Airport billing system). This data is collated with the stand allocations and used to generate billing for airlines' ground power usage.

Virtualization at the Edge

Digital Transformation is accelerating as manufacturers double down on onshoring and near-sourcing while adding KPI’s focused on resilience and adaptability, strengthening the ROI of digital transformation projects. We’re now well into OT/IT convergence with IT technologies permeating OT, reducing costs and increasing the speed and scalability of deployment. This session will explore the leading technologies moving to the industrial edge of OT. Driving virtualization technologies to the edge of networks is a key enabling technology that will soon become one of the keys to success in digital transformation.

15. Discussing Architectures

Lauren and Shay invite Co-Director of Sales Engineering Travis Cox to walk us through architecting an Ignition system, and to show how Ignition can be used anywhere from a local HMI client to a full enterprise solution and everything in between. Travis shares best practices for getting started, building a foundation, asking the right questions, and building out an architecture. Travis begins with the structure of a basic Ignition architecture and explains the process of when and how to build out from there. We cover adding new functionality, adding redundancy, store and forward, Ignition Edge, MQTT, scale-out, adding a load balancer, streaming data to the cloud, and having visibility across an enterprise.

Ignition Edge Changes

As you know, Ignition Edge is a line of lightweight, limited, low-cost Ignition software solutions designed specifically for embedding into field and OEM devices at the edge of the network. Ignition Edge has been extremely popular, however, some of the limitations, such as no Gateway scripting or 3rd party OPC-UA access, have been too restrictive at the edge. Inductive Automation continuously listens to our customers and we are excited to announce some changes and additions to Ignition Edge that will start in December of 2019 to address these pain pints. In this session, we will cover the Ignition Edge changes and additions and answer any questions relating to Edge.
