Industrial environments are full of different devices, protocols, and generations of technology. Ignition makes it easy to connect them all — even without expensive converters or additional licenses.
Native Support for the Most Widely Used Industrial Protocols
Ignition includes native drivers for devices from leading manufacturers such as Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Omron, and Mitsubishi, as well as for standard protocols like Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, IEC 61850, and others. Thanks to this, devices can be connected quickly — without the need for converters or additional tools.
Universal Connectivity via OPC UA
Ignition features a built-in OPC UA server and client, enabling communication with any device that supports this open standard. Whether it’s SCADA, PLCs, HMIs, or advanced analyzers, everything can work together within a single platform.
Universal Industrial Protocols:
- Modbus Ethernet – support for all devices using the Modbus TCP protocol
- BACnet – support for building automation and control devices (HVAC, lighting, fire systems, access control, etc.)
- DNP3 (TCP/IP) – support for external stations using the DNP3 standard
- IEC 61850 – support for IEDs and electrical devices
- OPC UA
Specific Industrial Protocols:
- Allen-Bradley – Logix, ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PLC-5, Micro800, MicroLogix, SLC
- Siemens – support for S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500 models
