Major Features
Connect Practically Any Device with Powerful Protocol Drivers
Ignition is a versatile SCADA platform to manage and control power usage for microgrids, substations, and edge devices across enterprises. Built-in IEC 61850, Modbus, and DNP3 protocol drivers help establish fast and easy connections to switchgear, relays, PLCs, and more.
IEC 61850 Driver
The IEC 61850 Driver provides a way to connect to any IED that supports the IEC 61850 protocol for use in Ignition.
Driver DocumentationDNP3 Driver
A TCP/IP DNP3 master implementation that can connect to any DNP3 slave device. Supports DNP3 Level 1, 2, and 3 implementations.
Driver DocumentationModbus Ethernet
The Modbus TCP Ethernet Driver provides a way to connect to any device that supports the Modbus TCP protocol for use in Ignition.
Driver DocumentationBACnet Driver
The BACnet driver provides access to HVAC, lighting and access control, and any other systems or devices that use this network.

Visualize Your Data With
Custom Dashboards
Ignition has a way with displaying data for maximum effect. Leverage the Vision or Perspective modules to build comprehensive and accessible dashboards of live and historical data for a clear picture of power usage. View the data on any plant floor screen, or from your mobile device anywhere. IT interfaces for data streaming are fully supported and enable connection to analytics platforms or machine learning.
Build Scalable Solutions With Flexible Architectures
Use Ignition to establish architectures that scale easily as you grow. Build anything, big or small, from a single site to large-scale operations with numerous edge devices that employ store-and-forward practices. Ignition connects all enterprise assets through a platform you can build upon one module at a time. Its gateway accommodates on-premise site management, cloud hosting, or a hybrid model for all current and future sites on one system.

Ignition helps you connect disparate elements in one place. One dashboard to visualize data from multiple vendors and OEMs. One central gateway to remotely monitor power distribution chains using standard protocols or turn screens into an HMI to enable control of equipment. All this, with full data-stream encryption plus integration with identity security and directory services.
Configure Alarms & Notifications That Maximize Uptime
Ignition’s Alarm Notification Module helps you keep up with what’s going down, and prevent downtime. Configure email, text, and call notifications that allow you to send, receive, and react to problems in real time, protect equipment from damage, and minimize outage durations. Or, set up condition- or period-based Escalation Pipelines to stay alerted about unresolved events.
