Bypass your PLC and connect sensor data directly to Ignition

What if you could bypass your PLC and quickly connect sensor data directly to Ignition?

 Retrieve and visualize sensor data in minutes.

ifm devices are now Ignition ready!

Built and designed for the Ignition Perspective platform, users have been looking for a way to bring even more data into Ignition without having to go through the PLC. These templates allow Ignition users to quickly drop in a dashboard for an ifm sensor containing IO-Link data without any programming or scripting. 

These templates are available on the Ignition Exchange site for any user to view and download

These templates includes UDT tag definitions and Perspective views to provide sensor data and visualization for many ifm sensors. Each sensor has a single UDT tag definition and corresponding Perspective view. A UDT instance must be created for a given sensor prior to using a Perspective sensor view to display the data from that sensor.
