Ignition System Requirements

[cboin]

Hello
I was looking at the OS requirements for Ignition. Does Ignition work on Windows 10 IOT Enterprise?

As long as it's an x86 architecture, then yes.

Here's the current published requirements for 8.1.5, found in the download page:

Operating system suggestions for new small Ignition deployment

I’m in the process of building a small system to run 4 steppers and perform a scan of some products and I’m going to use Ignition to command the motors, trigger the sensors, and record data. Very little performance required here, but the previous system lasted 20 years. I want to choose a fanless industrial computer to be the gateway and I want it to last a long time. What operating system would you suggest for this. I’m leaning toward a version of Windows due to the support staff that will …

I can confirm that it works well with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC. I installed it on a system in the Summer of 2019 and have had no problems with that system.

Advantech has nice fanless PCs. I would almost always use windows, but thats just my preference.

Could you please confirm if you have installed the full Ignition or Ignition Edge?
Thanks

There’s no difference between the two of them when it comes to system requirements.

Edge is a special license and a whole bunch of logic checks to see what edition it is, but otherwise the same software with the same base requirements.

I want to purchase a computer from Onlogic which has the OS (Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC Entry (Atom) - 64 Bit with Ignition Edge). I was wondering if I decide to install Full Ignition and MS SQL Server, would it be possible?

[Kevin.Herron]

Yes that should be possible, but it’s a pretty weak system to be running both Ignition and a DB unless you aren’t building a very big project with it.

Talk to our Sales Engineering department about your needs… they are pretty good at figuring out what kind of hardware will work best.
