It looks like the Vision module isn’t running.

In the Status tab of the Gateway, choose Modules in the left hand column. Scroll down to Vision, and check the status. Normally, it should say Running.

Thanks for the reply but I am not at work right now. What should I do if it is not running?

It depends on what you see on that page. If Vision isn’t listed at all, it’s likely that all you need to do is reinstall it. You can download it from our downloads page (make sure you download for the version of Ignition you have.)

If it’s there, but shows something other than running, take a look at the logs for a clue as to what is happening. (Gateway -> Configure -> System -> Console -> Logs tab) If that doesn’t give you a clue, post anything that looks likely here (or email it to tech support) and we can help you figure it out.

Best,

Thanks. I have another question. I am a brand new Ignition User.
I also have a software at home and MySQL is faulted ("PoolableConnectionFactory). I have it connected to an actual CompactLogic with IP address 192.168.1.4. Any thoughs?

The MySQL connection should be connected to a MySQL database that you’ve installed, not a PLC.

To connect your PLC, go to Configure -> OPC-UA -> Devices

Best,
