Quick Start Guide

Are you new to Ignition? Here are a few simple steps to get going right away! In very little time, you can get a sample project up and running. 

When getting started with Ignition, it helps to have a general idea about the major steps involved in designing your SCADA/HMI projects. Although there are many creative and innovative ways of using Ignition to do almost anything you want, we outlined some simple steps that can guide you in setting up a project.

1. Download and Install Ignition

Installation is simple and can be done in under 3 minutes! Let's get started and install now.
 

 Install Ignition on Windows

Before you install Ignition, make sure you meet the minimum system requirements:

• Dual-Core Processor (64 bit)
• 4GB RAM
• 10GB free HD space

Also, ensure you have Administrator privileges to run the Ignition installer.

To Download and Install Ignition on Windows

1. Go to the Inductive Automation website at
   www.inductiveautomation.com
   
   
2. Select Download Ignition in the upper right corner of the page. The browser will determine what operating system you're running and will bring up Download for Windows. 
   
   

3. Click Download for Windows. If you want to see what other operating systems are supported, click on the Other operating systems and versions link. 
   
   
   
   
   

4. Run the downloaded file Ignition-X.X.X-windows-x64-installer.exe (found on the lower-left of the window if using Chrome), or go to your downloads folder and double-click the file to start installation.
   
   
5. The Ignition Installer window welcomes you to the Installer Wizard. To being the installation, click Next.
   
   
   
   
   
6. The Installation Location window will be displayed. By default, Ignition is installed under your Program Files folder: Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition. This is usually a good choice. You also have the option to choose another location. Simply click on the folder on the right side of this field to browser for another folder location. You can accept the default Gateway Service Name or enter another name. Click Next.
   
   
   
   
   
7. The Installation Options window will be displayed. Select either the Typical or Custom mode. The Typical installation includes Ignition with most of the most commonly used modules. The Custom installation lets you control and individually select the modules that you want installed. (Both options are shown in this step).  If you selected a Typical installation, click Next.

   If you select Custom mode, check the box for the modules you want to install and uncheck those modules you don't want installed as part of your Custom Ignition installation. To see a brief description of the module, click on the module name.

   Select the modules to install, and then click Next. 
   
   
   If you want to install additional modules, select the Additional Modules tab and the plus  icon.  This will open your browser. Navigate to the location of your modules, select the modules you want to install, and click Open. This will bring you back to the installer wizard, then click Next.
   
   
   
   
8. The wizard shows Ignition is now Ready to Install. If you decide to change your selections, click Back to go back and make your changes. Click Install to continue.
   
   
   
9. A splash screen appears indicating the installation of the selected modules is in progress. There is a progress bar at the bottom of the window showing the status of the installation.
   
   
   
10. Once the Installer window shows that the Ignition installation is successfully installed, make sure that the checkbox for Start Ignition Now is selected, then click Finish.
    
    
    
11. Once Ignition is installed, your default web browser will open and you will be greeted with a Welcome to Ignition.  You will be presented with a message to select a version to install.  Select Ignition.
    
    
    
    
    
12. The End User License Agreement (EULA) window will be displayed. Click the button acknowledging you read and agree with the terms and conditions, then press Next.
    
    
    
    
    
13. An Account Setup window will open for you to enter your first user. This first user will be the main / administrator account with full privileges in Ignition. Enter a username and password, and click Next.
    
    
    
     
14. The HTTP Configuration window will open for you to configure the HTTP and HTTPS Ports. The default HTTP Port is 8088, and the default HTTPS Port is 8043. Click Finish Setup.
    
    
    
    
    
15. The Setup Completed window will be displayed, and now you can Start the Gateway.
    
    
    
    
    A splash screen informs you that Ignition is starting. This may take a few minutes to finish
    
    
    
    

16. That’s it! Ignition installation is complete and the Gateway is launched. Your web browser opens the Gateway Homepage at http://localhost:8088.  Sign in using the credentials for the administrator or user with full privileges for the Gateway as shown in Step 13 above.
    
    
    
    

    Ignition installs itself as a Window Service (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Ignition Gateway), so it starts automatically when your computer starts up.

To learn more, go to Windows - Install!

2. Launch the Gateway Webpage

The Ignition Gateway is a web server. When it is running, you access it through a web browser in just two steps.

If you're not already logged into Ignition, enter the credentials for the administrator or user with full privileges for the Gateway. 
 

 Launch the Gateway Webpage

3. Connect to a Device

With the Ignition OPC UA module and device drivers installed, connecting to a device is simple. 

 Click here if using the Programmable Device Simulator introduced in version 8.0.8

4. Connect to a Database

After you install your database, you can connect it to Ignition. 

 Connect to MySQL

5. Open the Designer

Now that you set up a device (Step 3) and database (Step 4) connections, let's open the Designer and create a project.

 Launch the Designer and Create a Project

6. Create Tags

With the Designer open, a great first step is to create some Tags. You'll use these Tags for realtime status and control and to store history with the Tag Historian. You can use Drag and Drop to bring Tags into Ignition with the Designer. Once there, Tags are all configured in the Tag Browser panel.
 

 Click and Drag Tags into the Designer

7. Add History to Tags

Storing history for your Tags is simple, and once that's done we can display it on screen in a variety of ways. If you are connected to a database in Step 4, you are ready to add history to some of our Sine Tags.
 

 Add History to your Tags

8. Adding Components

Building your industrial application starts by adding components. Whether you're using the Perspective Module or the Vision Module, adding components is easy, but they each have their own visualization system. It's for this reason, the Quick Start Guide dedicated separate Perspective and Vision pages for how to add components and configure live values. Click the link below to navigate to the respective module's page. 

• Quick Start - Perspective Session
• Quick Start - Vision Client

When you open the Designer interface for the first time, the Perspective Page Configuration opens assuming you have the Perspective Module installed, as shown in the Perspective Session image below. If you don't have the Perspective Module installed, the Vision Designer window will open.
