Anyone else who wants to add extra resources is welcome to, this is not yet an exhaustive list. Alternatively DM me a link to the project and I will add it.

[Alejandro_Alaco]

Thanks!
Can you add a guide on how to add these modules on our Ignition? or I find it somewhere else?

I don't think ApexCharts are free any longer. Pricing – ApexCharts.js

@hw79

I don't think ApexCharts are free any longer.

See this post for more details:

Musson Industrial’s Embr-Charts Module

Corresponding to the launch of 8.3, the Embr 8.3 branch is now also out of beta! Embr v8.3 - 2025.9.17 Bad News ApexCharts@5.0.0 introduced a change to the way ApexCharts is licensed. As of 5.0.0+ it is no longer MIT licensed; instead, it's now an annoying "dual-license" model. Currently, Embr Charts includes ApexCharts@3.54.1 which is licensed under an MIT license. Our goal is for all Embr modules to remain free and open. We will not pursue any upgrades to versions of ApexCharts that wou…

TLDR: We can’t upgrade to v5+ because of the license change, so we won’t.

PS: The Kyvis-Labs ApexCharts module is deprecated, all improvements and fixes are now happening inside Embr Charts.

[David_Stone]

There are links under the "Module" column for many modules here that will give you a .modl file you can install on a gateway in the "Modules" section of the gateway config pages.

Some modules will need to be compiled, there are instructions on this, but it is a little complex. I normally encourage projects to include a signed module file as a "Release" on GitHub. Look for the Releases link on the right hand side of the GitHub page for a project to find this area.

If you have never added a module, spin up a new copy of Ignition and try out the Embr-Charts module, super easy to use, and if you use perspective and have charts set up, you will find a lot of rich features you could never find on the built in charts.

BIJC Plotly 2D and 3D Charting Module

Plotly Module - BIJC Module Support

[Alejandro_Alaco]

Wow, great module.

I guess is safe?

[Eric_Knorr]

BIJC is a reputable module developer. However, you're right to use caution before installing random modules. Don't use a production server to test.

[David_Stone]

I have added this to the initial post as well. Thanks.

Big one is missing

Phil says: Fine, I'll make this mine.

Automation Professionals' Integration Toolkit Module

Automation Professionals is pleased to announce the immediately availability of a major upgrade to its free Simulation Aids Integration Toolkit module. The new feature justifying the "major upgrade" language is the implementation of eleven thirty-one new expression functions which use iteration to accomplish complex transforms of datasets and lists, to or from other datasets and lists, applying filtering, ordering, and computed new columns along the way. While there are certain operations that…

Phil says: This belongs here, too (also free):

Automation Professionals' Blob Server Module

Automation Professionals is pleased to announce an alpha release of its new Blob Server Module. Available only for Ignition v8.1, here. The Blob Server Module provides a simple way to deliver images, PDF files, or other binary content from a database to your Perspective clients or other web applications. Without needing the WebDev module. All you need is a Named Query that has appropriate security settings and returns a single row with two columns: Content, and ContentType. Modest documentati…

Great post @David_Stone! Awesome to have a spot for a complete list of 3rd party modules in one spot!

It might be worth adding if the module is compatible with Edge as well, although these are extremely limited

[pturmel]

Maybe belongs in 3rd party modules instead of Ignition? Thoughts?

[nminchin]

I think it has more visibility here and will therefore be more useful to more people here I really only go to the 3rd party modules category if i've got questions about specific modules I already use. It's rare that I'll actually find new modules from there unless I accidentally stumble upon them in my other searches

[David_Stone]

Not a bad idea, definitely worth advertising.
Also to note, this is FREE modules only, a lot of the other modules at BIJC are paid from what I read.

[michael.flagler]

PIDbot isn't free, and I'm sure there's others in the list that may not be also. Just because something works in trial mode doesn't mean it's free.

[David_Stone]

Also to note, anyone who values the open source modules is encouraged to contribute to the projects, its a great way to give back to the community and also learn Java if you haven't done so before.

[David_Stone]

Ah, its odd because the Github is MIT license but the PID tuning part is not.

[nminchin]

Ah yes, I got carried away! Most of the paid ones are likely already in the module showcase on IA's site
