Transfer HMI running on Edge instance to Full instance

Ignition

Hello! I have an opto22 PLC that is running ignition edge and is also hosting a perspective webapp.

The HMI is very complex and takes up a very significant amount of resources on our opto22 PLC.

If I were to setup a full ignition instance on a different host, can I transfer the perspective app to run off the full ignition instance and not on the PLC (ignition edge)?

My edge edition is v8.1. The full ignition server would be v8.1 or greater. Please let me know if I can provide anymore info, thank you!

I believe you would be able to export the project from your edge server, and import it into your full ignition server. You also need to transfer over all the tags and devices to the full ignition install. Tags can be imported/exported from the designer.

You might need to modify some tag bindings in your project as the only tag provider on edge is [edge], but on a full Ignition install you can have multiple providers, and the default provider is [default].
