[00:00] Ignition is a modular platform, meaning that you can add additional modules or applications to Ignition in order to extend its functionality. You can pick and choose which modules you want to add to the software, depending on what functionality you need. Just like you can pick and choose which applications you want to add to your smartphone. As you can see from the list below, we offer a wide range of modules with each module providing different functionality. There are visualization modules like vision or perspective that enable you to rapidly develop industrial applications for your site. And again, you have a choice in which module suits your needs. If you're trying to build mobile first projects and applications optimized for web browsers, then perspective would be the way to go. Alternatively, if you're designing traditional plant floor displays, hmis, and desktop screens, then vision might be the better choice. And of course, if you needed both visualization modules, there's no limitation here.

[01:03] You could build projects in both vision and perspective without issue. Taking a look at the rest of our module categories, we have modules for data and logic. The SQL Bridge and Tag Historian modules allow you to historize tag data into your database. Logical systems can be created inside Ignition with sequential function charts, or you can program against the web server inside the ignition gateway, with web development. We have various notification modules which allow you to notify users when alarms happen within your facility, either through email, SMS or phone call. Finally, we have enterprise wide and connectivity modules. Here you have access to different OPC servers. You have the ability to control many installations of ignition from one location with enterprise administration connections to MongoDB and the addition of system serial functions to Python scripts. Most of these modules here would be considered core modules with each encapsulating a core SCADA or HMI principle, and they are developed in house by Inductive Automation.

[02:06] Now, I didn't cover all of them in depth in this video, however, I have linked the modules page of the Ignition user manual below for more information. Of course, these modules don't make up all that ignition has to offer. We can see here where modules sit in the ignition software stack. You'll notice the modules sit on top of the platform extending the platform's original functionality with new features depending on what modules you install. The core modules are all developed in house by Inductive Automation, but there are also modules that are not developed by inductive automation that can be added to your software as well. These modules can be developed by one of our third party partners or one of the various other module developers. These third party modules can further extend Ignitions functionality outside of our core modules or platform functions. And if what you're looking for isn't available, you can create something custom for yourself or help make ignition better, by creating your own modules. With the many different modules to choose from, it's easy to create a software solution to fit your facilities needs.
