Overview

Ignition Edge Panel by Inductive Automation transforms any screen into an IIoT-capable HMI, bypassing supply chain shortages and rising prices of new HMI hardware and network edge devices. This software can be installed directly on a device to develop robust HMI solutions that connect and transmit data to an MQTT broker or other data sources or applications. Edge Panel includes powerful development tools for creating custom HMI screens, fast connections to any industrial device, and built-in designer capabilities for future-proof Industry 4.0-compatible local control systems.

Features

• Unlimited Tags & Devices: Connect unlimited tags and devices with included drivers, and act as an OPC UA server to connect with most PLCs.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly with most computing platforms and can run on virtually any edge device.
• Data Transmission & Synchronization: Transmit data to any MQTT broker using the Sparkplug specification and synchronize data with a central Ignition system.
• Remote Synchronization: Acts as a limited remote server that synchronizes data from the edge to a central Ignition server.
• Remote EAM Agent Gateway: Functions as a remote EAM Agent Gateway at the edge, working with a central Ignition server that has the Enterprise Administration Module (EAM).
• Script Execution at the Edge: Run scripts and create REST APIs for interfacing with third-party applications from the edge.
• Internal Tag Historian: Store data locally for up to 35 days or 10 million data points, whichever comes first.
• Alarm Notifications: Stay aware of facility and site activities with alarm notifications.
• Event Logging: Capture and store critical event information at the edge.
• Included Native Drivers: Includes a variety of drivers for connecting with virtually any PLC and device, such as UDP, TCP, BACnet, Serial, Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Modbus, DNP3, Omron, Opto 22, and IEC 61850.
