Synopsis

Build a working HMI on the Ignition platform — even if you've never opened it before.

Ignition is one of the most widely used SCADA and HMI platforms in industry, but on day one its depth can feel overwhelming. Getting Started With Ignition HMI clears the fog. Starting from nothing, you'll install the Gateway, connect to a device, organize your data into tags, and build real operator screens in both Vision and Perspective — the desktop and the browser-and-mobile worlds — one clear step at a time.

No prior Ignition experience is assumed. Every chapter builds something, most close with a Try It task you can do in your own Designer, and more than 100 engineering-style illustrations keep the structure clear instead of burying you in screenshots.

What you'll learn

• Install and navigate the Gateway and the Designer
• Connect PLCs over OPC-UA and model data with tags and UDTs
• Build live screens in Vision and responsive screens in Perspective
• Master bindings, indirect bindings, templates, and faceplates
• Historize data and trend it on charts and dashboards
• Script with Jython and query databases safely with Named Queries
• Raise and manage alarms, and secure users, roles, and audit trails
• Deploy to production with backups, redundancy, and a go-live checklist

Five hands-on projects tie it all together

• A tank monitoring screen
• A reusable pump faceplate from a UDT and template
• A mobile plant overview in Perspective
• A secured, alarm-aware operator screen
• An automated shift report

Who it's for: new automation technicians, controls engineers, integrators, students, and anyone moving to Ignition from another SCADA or HMI platform.

Charles Vance is a Senior Automation Consultant with 30+ years in industrial automation, is Ignition Gold Certified, and is the founder of LearnSCADA.com and author of Foundations of Jython Programming.

Open the Designer — and let's build.
