Features
Rapidly Build Industrial HMIs
Ignition Edge Panel gives you a choice between the Vision or Perspective modules. Ignition Edge Panel comes standard with the Ignition Designer, the most powerful integrated development environment in the industry. Ignition Edge Panel comes with everything you’ll need to rapidly build beautiful HMIs that optimize operator performance.
See and Control Your Processes
With Ignition Edge Panel, you can build and deploy a local HMI that lets you quickly see the status of your machine in real-time and start and stop processes with the push of a button.
One-Way Alarm Notification
Ignition Edge Panel can send one-way alarm notifications by email through your company’s SMTP server, so you can stay alert to what’s happening at the edge of the network.
Basic Trending
Ignition Edge Panel includes storage for one week of data buffering; this can be perfect for including basic short-term trending on your HMI client.
Local-Client Fallback
In the event of a failed network connection, a client re-targets from a central Ignition server and connects to the local Ignition Edge Panel, providing access to one week of data buffering and maintaining local data visualization and control.
OPC UA Connectivity
For easy PLC connections, all Ignition Edge solutions come with unlimited tags and are
equipped with native drivers. Ignition Edge acts as an OPC UA server when used with the
included Ignition native drivers and can connect to an OPC UA server as an OPC UA client.
External access (from a third party) to Ignition Edge’s OPC UA server requires Edge IIoT.
