Power monitoring on a platform you can keep.
We build power and energy monitoring in Ignition rather than a proprietary product, so the system outlives the relationship that created it.
Ignition from Inductive Automation is licensed per gateway rather than per client. For monitoring that matters a great deal: putting a dashboard in the maintenance office, on the plant manager's phone and on a wall display does not multiply the licence cost the way older SCADA products did.
The architecture is deliberately ordinary. Meters publish over Modbus, the gateway polls them on a schedule and writes values into a SQL historian with proper timestamps. Perspective dashboards and the reporting module read from that historian. Every component is a standard, widely supported product.
That means the system can be maintained by any competent Ignition integrator, not only by us. Licences are issued in your name, projects are handed over unlocked, and your history sits in a SQL database you control.
Why Ignition for monitoring
- Licensed per gateway, unlimited clients and screens
- Perspective works properly on phones and tablets
- SQL historian you own and can query directly
- Built in reporting module for PDF and CSV output
- Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, BACnet, OPC UA and EtherNet/IP drivers
- Licences in your name, projects handed over unlocked
What this involves.
Perspective dashboards
Responsive screens that work on a phone, a laptop and a wall display from one project.
Historian & trends
SQL backed history with retention and resolution set per tag group rather than one blanket policy.
Reports & alarms
PDF generation, CSV export and alarming on any measured value, delivered on screen, by email or text.
Already running Ignition?
Power monitoring can usually be added to your existing gateway rather than built as a separate island.
