Web-based HMI using Automations's "Ignition"
Primary Systems, Inc has found Inductive Automation’s Ignition HMI to be a package incorporating new technologies into the automation process. The benefits it has brought to our customers include:
- Web-based package runs on a central server. This means only one place to administer the software, even with multiple users.
- Ease of adding users. A client does not need to have an expensive view package – only a conventional web browser and Java. This means to add another node only means giving that user a password.
- Unlimited number of users. Adding one or 10 more clients means zero additional software cost.
- Unlimited number of “assets”. Whether monitoring and controlling one PLC or dozens, the same software package, with the same cost, will accomplish what needs to be done.
- SQL database. This means it is very easy to interface with other systems.
- Ease of integration with other systems.
This architure opens possibilities anavailable with convention systems. Please contact PSI with possible applications.
