Corso Systems demonstrates how to set up Ignition time of day based triggers for tag change scripts and expression tags in this detailed Ignition 101 tutorial.

Corso Systems built a fun and unique map-based SCADA project with groov Epic controllers from Opto22, MQTT Modules from Cirrus Link, and Inductive Automation's Ignition Perspective. Two of our engineers tracked their cross-country Amtrak journey including pictures and video.

Corso Systems has had a lot of growth since ICC 2021, and we thought it was time to see how conferences could be better in 2022, especially ICC and the Build-A-Thon.

Corso Systems needed to map a value coming from an Automation Direct PLC via Modbus TCP into a scaled integer value in an Ignition SCADA system. Automation Direct uses a non-standard format for their data compared to most Modbus TCP implementations. To accomplish this we used a bitmask, a tag change script, and a UDT in Ignition to get the job done.

Mitutoyo calipers are an integral tool to many QA/QC departments, and are commonly used in SPC applications to track measurements across the lifecycle of parts. In this post we show you how to integrate these calipers with an Ignition installation.

Here’s how Corso Systems uses Ignition Edge as a remote tag provider to get data into a full blown Ignition gateway. It is the first step to a truly fault resistant system architecture. We show you how to set it up.

Corso Systems shows you how to get the most performance out of Ignition's built-in process historian. On top of the basic functionality you can use the Tag History Splitter to store data to make recent data and long term data easily accessible for different use cases.

Corso Systems demonstrates how to set up a local client fallback setup for local control when a network outage occurs between the main gateway and your plant PLCs.

Following up on the first post comparing Ignition to Wonderware we take a deeper dive into the similarities and differences between these 2 platforms.

Read Corso Systems’ Vision vs. Perspective module comparison. Inductive Automation Ignition’s Perspective has widespread usage around the world, what about Vision? Learn when to choose Vision or Perspective.

Logs are a powerful tool in any software platform, especially SCADA solutions like Ignition. Most software doesn’t have a lot of logging built in, and we think it’s time to change that. Here are the best practices we use at Corso Systems for logging for any software we write.

Ignition has taken the manufacturing world by storm, when just a few short years ago Wonderware was the software platform to beat. We compare and contrast the differences in the 2 platforms as they stand today.
