Morning, everybody,
I am a PLC programmer and I am exploring Ignition as an R & D solution to offer HMI/SCADA interfaces to our customers.
Current Status:
I have configured the Gateway and successfully established communication with my PLC via OPC UA Server.
In the Designer, I created a basic project and verified that the PLC data (tag) responds correctly.
I noticed that the project only appears via Ignition Vision Client Launcher, but I would prefer a browser-based solution for greater flexibility (and not having to install additional software on customers' PCs).
I read that the ideal solution is Perspective. I've been trying to figure out how to "transfer" my Vision project to Perspective or how to set it up for web access, but I can't find a clear tutorial to go from scratch to customer-side implementation.
Specific Questions:
What is the correct procedure for migrating existing resources (tags and logic) from a Vision project to a Perspective one? Or is it better to start again directly by creating Views on Perspective?
I created the project with the Gateway set to localhost. How do I change the address to make the project accessible from other PCs (on the same network) without customers having to make complicated manual configurations?
What is the best approach (and best practices) that the community uses to deploy Perspective projects to external clients?
Any advice or links to specific tutorials on Perspective for Vision/PLC users will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!
