Ignition as a Product Design Development Tool

In this session Chris Taylor of X-Windpower will discuss his use of Ignition as a design development and verification tool in the energy industry. In order to remain in control of wind turbines different strategies need to be employed to account for many unpredictable forces such as wind speed, duration, and rotor speed. Learn how Ignition and python scripting were used to maximize the yield of the wind turbines by creating a continuous data stream.

The presentation will cover system architecture and strategy, various Ignition tools developed by Overbridge Technologies to programmatically migrate the Citect tags, along with enhancements to EasyChart for contextual pen reference trending.

How to Write a Module

The Ignition module API has well over 1,000 classes. Where should you start? This session will dissect a module that drives a fully functional control application constructed from the new Ignition v7.7 block-and-connector classes. The example can be used as a starting point for constructing your own block language. Attendees will leave with a blueprint showing how such an application can be put together and full source code will be provided.
