Users of Ignition software can now write their own modules using the Ignition Module Software Development Kit (SDK), which is now available for free via the vendor’s Web site.
The SDK is based 100% on Java, so anyone who knows or wants to learn
Java can write his or her own modules. It opens up what can be done with
the Ignition platform. Developers can write device drivers for the free
Ignition OPC-UA Module, create components for the Vision module,
Authentication Profiles for a custom authentication scheme, or even a
completely new module. When developing a new module, developers may use
the module for themselves for free. Or, if they wish to resell the
module, developers may apply to become a partner with the vendor to
become a third-party module author. Interested users can visit the
vendor’s Web site to fill out a developer form and sign up for a free
developer key to download the Module SDK file.Inductive Automationwww.inductiveautomation.com800.266.7798
