Corso Systems sets up a dashboard HMI screen using the groov View HMI package included free with every Opto22 groov EPIC PLC. Our brief tutorial covers configuring tags, value displays, tag history, and trends using the groov View platform.

Corso Systems shows how to configure a Keyence KV-8000 PLC internal OPC-UA Server to expose tags to Ignition. The tutorial continues with connecting Ignition to the PLC and bringing tags into the Ignition Tag Database.

Corso Systems describes a brief history of OPC-DA and OPC-UA. We explain why Kepware's KEPServerEX suite was prominent earlier in the century, why it has fallen out of ubiquity, and why you might want to still use it today.

On 6/28/22 Corso Systems participated in Round 2 of the Build-a-Thon Challenge for the Ignition Community Conference in September. We held our 5th place in this challenge and made it through to the next round. Here’s how we solved the 11 challenges of the Second Round!

Corso Systems explains the Availability component of OEE and how to start tracking downtime reason codes and equipment states. We start small and move into complex strategies to leverage your PLCs, SCADA, and MES systems to automatically generate data to help drive your OEE Implementation.

Corso Systems dives into the new signature pad component in Ignition's Perspective module, including how you can use it with the authentication challenge functionality released in Inductive Automation Ignition 8.1.16 to require signatures along with user authentication actions in your application.

Corso Systems has helped many companies implement successful OEE solutions. Leveraging existing SCADA and PLC infrastructure obtaining the data is easy. Calculating the OEE and implementing data analysis tools is a little more complex. The culture shift to see a great ROI is the hard part, and Corso Systems is here to help make that as easy as possible!

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.

On 6/14/22 Corso Systems participated in the Build-a-Thon Challenge for the Ignition Community Conference in September. We came in 5th place in this challenge and made it through to the next round. We break down the 11 challenges in total and give some hints about what is to come!

Corso Systems has worked extensively with Inductive Automation's Ignition platform, and Rockwell's FactoryTalk View SE. If you are familiar with FactoryTalk View, this post will describe how to leverage your experience as you dive into the world of Ignition.

Corso Systems has helped hundreds of companies select SCADA platforms over the years. Here you will find the most important questions you should be asking when considering a new SCADA solution to help narrow down your choices.

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.
