Sometimes the material IO icons don't really have a good icon to represent a screen or other SCADA page. I'm thinking about making a SCADA icons library. I figured I'd reach out to the community for suggestions of icons that would be good to have for Ignition Perspective projects. In the past I h…

Fans 3 way valves Flow Meters: Endress Hauser style, MicroMotion style etc. Various sensors: Flow, Plug, Zero Speed, etc. That is off the top of my head, if you look in the old symbol factory module addon you can get a general idea of what is needed for icons.

Maybe some generic manufacturing process icons: welding, pressing, machining, cutting, etc. (Super generic) machine icons: robotic arm ... drawing a blank here We also use SCADA to monitor building utilities/consumables but we had to get a bit creative in using material icons to represent a gas cy…

Good ideas. I'm saving a link to this ideas thread. I might have spare time on evenings at ICC to work on it.

Having a power systems icon set would be useful as well: Transformer, switch, motor-operated switch, breaker, cap bank, inverter, meter, tracker motor, met station, battery container, battery management system, energy management system, plant controller, etc.

Maybe generic icons for data centers, like coolers/CDUs, racks, etc. There seems to have been an increase in the number of customers using Ignition to monitor data center hardware/buildings. Someone more familiar in the sector would have to pipe up with more specific items. There is probably a lot …

That's a great site. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to go through there and see which ones I can add. I'm definitely going to have a custom pallet for specific industries.

I wonder if it would be possible for an icon management interface to be built into Ignition Designer to allow importing SVG icons for use in Perspective. Could be similar to Image Management but I'd almost prefer it to be exportable with other resources so you could share them on the exchange easily…

@Steve_Laubach , I like to emphasize the importance of Matt Steele's comment on Power Systems icons. The icons can be in two category of 'engineering' targeting Single Line Diagram and IEEE published symbols and also operator category with more modern look. They will serve the community greatly if su…
