Hello everyone,  
My database updates from the transaction groups even when the PLC-Ignition connection is interrupted. The database continues recording constant values for the data tags from when the connection is interrupted. How can I ensure the database is only updated when the Ignition-PLC connection (wired or wireless) is true?

You will need to have the connection status as part of the trigger for the group.
