Core Modules

Build any kind of human machine interface (HMI) or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system using Ignition's powerful offering of HMI/SCADA modules.

What Are Core Modules?​

Core modules are commonly used modules included in a typical installation. Most systems have at least one of these modules installed. Each core module encapsulates a core SCADA or HMI principle such as data-logging or process visualization. These modules are the foundation upon which great projects are built.

SQL Bridge​

Bridge the gap between OPC data and SQL databases and get a highly efficient SQL-based tag historian and transaction manager. Easily log data, call stored procedures, and synchronize data bi-directionally.

Perspective​

Create beautiful, mobile-responsive industrial applications that run natively on any device type such as smartphones, tablets, touchscreens, laptops, and desktop computers. It automatically adapts to fit screens of any size and orientation.

Vision​

Use this module to launch an unlimited number of powerful Ignition Vision clients anywhere on the network. Display charts, graphs, trends, HMI screens, and more.

Historian​

Use this module to create powerful time-series historians in Ignition.

SQL Historian​

Add the SQL Historian, which turns a SQL database into a high-performance time-series tag historian, to the list of historian options already available through the Historian module.

Reporting​

Create dynamic, database-driven PDF reports with ease.

OPC-UA​

Connect to most major PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) with the Ignition OPC-UA Module. This module serves as a totally cross-platform OPC-UA server with an open, plugable driver system.

Alarm Notification​

Configure the logic for how, why and when alarm notifications are delivered, manage alarm notification for groups of users, and send notifications via email.

Event Streams​

This module provides source and handler combination to receive, filter, and transform event-driven data.

SMS Notification​

Add text alerts with the SMS Notification Module for even more options.

Sequential Function Charts​

Streamline the creation, organization, and visualization of robust logic systems.

Web Dev​

Create webpages that are hosted on Ignition's web server.

Enterprise Administration​

The EAM provides a secure and intuitive way to manage many Ignition installations from one location.

JDBC Drivers​

JDBC Driver modules enable database connections by providing the MariaDB JDBC Driver (version 3.3.3), MSSQL JDBC Driver (version 9.4.0.jre11), and PostgreSQL JDBC Driver (version 42.7.2).
