Build Industrial HTML Applications For Desktops, Mobile, Touch Panels, And Workstations Built For Big-Time Projects Right from the beginning, Perspective was intended to handle the needs of the next generation of automation projects. That’s why it's currently being used in thousands of projects around the world, including some of the biggest and most critical applications in many industries. Vantage Data Centers used Perspective to design and deploy screens for system control and monitoring across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Plant-Floor Ready Fully Mobile-Responsive Perspective Mobile puts the power of your plant floor in the palm of your hand by empowering you to create beautiful, mobile-responsive industrial applications that run natively on any mobile device so you can see and control your processes from anywhere. “The Perspective Module opens up the power of the web and finally gets industrial automation systems up to the level of the rest of the world. Whereas before, everyone was fighting just to get into 2009, Perspective finally takes industrial automation to today's technology and sets it up for growth from there.” – Alex Marcy Corso Systems Major Features Add the Magic of Mobile to Your Applications Perspective Responds to You Design for Screens of Any Size Streamline your development process with robust design components and features that enable you to design for mobile, desktop, large displays, and touch panel screens all at the same time. With responsive-optimized container types, you can easily customize the user experience in the Ignition Designer with a simple selection. Run in Kiosk Mode With the Perspective Workstation, you can run your clients in full-screen kiosk mode which eliminates any distractions from the underlying OS and keeps operators focused on what’s important. Unlimited Accessibility Perspective runs on any device, including phones, tablets, and touch panels. You can deploy an unlimited number of clients from any location with a single click. And, in addition to the native apps, you can even send secure web links to your application that anyone can view in a web browser. Perspective is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge, fully HTML5 and CSS3 compliant, and does not require Java installation or plug-ins. Secure Systems with Cutting-Edge Protocols Ignition Perspective was built from the ground up with modern cybersecurity protocols at the forefront of development. It supports industry-leading encryption protocols, and is compatible with today’s federated identity infrastructure. Its permissions model enables role-based security for complete system protection. Easily Configure Components with Message Handling Build robust systems with ease by leveraging message handling, a system that allows components to receive messages directly from one another. This makes it easier than ever to create strong, flexible, and complex connections between components, and requires less code. “Ignition’s mobile capabilities allow Streamline engineers to more quickly and accurately diagnose problems in the field, all without opening up their computer.” — Haley Brown Streamline Innovations Design Graphics With Native Drawing Tools With Perspective’s native drawing tools, you can easily design and edit dashboards, HMIs, and mobile-responsive screens with custom graphics. Create graphics, bind them to tags, and even add animations, all without leaving the Ignition Designer. Add Data-Driven Symbols Level up your HMI by adding components for motors, pumps, sensors, valves, and vessels. Perspective Symbols have dynamic data models, so binding them to process values is as easy as drag-and-drop. Symbols come in three styles, and you can customize them with supporting text, animation, and device orientation. Draw Pipes Easily Perspective comes with a dedicated tool for drawing pipes that visualize how materials flow through your process. It’s easy to draw pipes between components, bind them to properties, and customize them with a variety of colors, styles, and lines. Generate Forms Quickly Nobody likes filling out forms — and creating forms can feel just as tedious. Perspective’s flexible Form Builder makes it easy: Just configure the sections, fields, and validation rules, and the Form Builder will create the layout, internal data logic, and client-side validation for you. Enter Data Now, Sync It Later With Offline Mode Don’t let a lack of network connectivity affect your productivity. With Perspective’s Offline Mode, you can enter data from remote sites, which will be uploaded and synced with your systems when reconnected. “Smartphones have overtaken traditional computers as the dominant type of computing device in the world. To keep up, industrial applications of the future must be mobile, and Perspective makes it easy to build mobile-responsive industrial applications today.” – Carl Gould More Features Leverage CSS3 for Cross-Project Styling Use strong and flexible CSS3 styles to change the appearance or position of anything in your application, and enable changes throughout the entire system. With Perspective, creating consistent styles across large projects is simple and fast. Native Client Launchers With native client launchers for Windows, Mac, and Linux, you can easily launch clients to any major operating system without needing plugins. Instantly Add Powerful Ad Hoc Charts The Perspective Power Chart component quickly and easily creates runtime-configurable time series charts from Tag Historian data. Now you can easily generate ad hoc charts within a Perspective session. Choose Or Create Visual Themes With Theming in Perspective, you can achieve a consistent look across your whole project. Choose from six built-in themes, create custom themes, and make project-wide visual changes with minimal effort. Instantly Update Your Applications Data is delivered directly to a Perspective application over a persistent communications channel so that any visualization or tag changes show up instantly in your application. Easy to Learn Built for optimal effectiveness and easy adoption, Perspective’s design environment is intuitive and easy to use. Buttons, charts, displays, and graphics take on current SCADA sensibilities with additional mobile capabilities enabled right in the design environment. Use Any Major OS — Even iOS and Android Ignition Perspective clients can run on any major OS and run natively on iOS and Android with the Ignition Perspective App. One Universal Platform Perspective runs on Ignition’s universal platform and works seamlessly with all Ignition modules including Vision, Alarming, Reporting, and more. You can easily build any kind of industrial application and deploy it anywhere, all with one platform. Transform Your Data With More Powerful Data Binding The powerful Transform feature makes property bindings more flexible by allowing users to transform an input value as a different type of output value; improving data binding for a variety of situations such as mapping, scripting, expressions, formatting and more. Unlimited Clients With Perspective, you can launch an unlimited number of rich runtime clients natively to as many mobile devices, HMIs, industrial panels, PCs, and laptops as you need.
