Lynn Martineau

Information Technology Project Lead

Autoliv

Configuring devices with user-defined type (UDT) tags on servers at multiple production sites can be challenging; in this session you'll learn how to do it in Ignition. The Ignition Enterprise Administration Module (EAM) is a powerful management tool that gives you the ability to manage not only servers and project objects but devices across the enterprise. Join Lynn Martineau of Autoliv to see how he's using centralized tools to configure devices, reducing the need to access multiple Ignition Gateways and Designers and simplifying training and support.

Practical Smart Water Solutions Capitalizing on the Digital Wave

The demand for reliable, secure, and scalable automation technology is growing exponentially in the water/wastewater industry. Municipalities struggle with “data silos” that limit the flow and availability of information to the various stakeholders and systems, limiting insights that can be gleaned from the operation. At Brock, we are using Ignition to break open these silos and aggregate disparate data sources into a connected central point, providing a complete view from tap to treatment of the water operation.

Creating Tag Tools in Ignition for Porting From Other SCADA Platforms

The client is Continental Cement, a continuous-process cement plant located in Hannibal, Missouri. The project involved porting a Citect SCADA platform project based on TOP Server as the OPC server. The Citect system is a legacy system with various iterations enhanced over time by various parties. Each party had their own methodology, naming conventions, and standards for graphic objects. The goal of the port was to move the entire legacy system to Ignition, and, as part of the process, normalize the tag tree and naming conventions with uniform HMI navigation behavior. As there was no overall documentation for the legacy system, the port consisted of reverse-engineering the entire Citect system. Due to this, for functional validation to be effective, the ‘new’ Ignition windows had to contain graphics objects with a look, window placement, and behavior equivalent to the Citect system.
