DESCRIPTION:SCADA platforms have evolved from simple monitoring tools into 
 the backbone of modern industrial operations. Ignition SCADA is one of the
  most powerful and flexible tools in this space. It enables engineers to c
 onnect\, visualize\, and control plant processes with ease while promoting
  smarter\, data-driven operations.\n\nTanuja uses Ignition every day in re
 al industrial projects\, and she has seen firsthand how it simplifies engi
 neering work and makes automation more approachable. This talk is designed
  to be completely beginner-friendly and easy to follow for both young engi
 neers and experienced professionals who want to understand how modern SCAD
 A systems work in practice.\n\nThe session will start with a simple overvi
 ew of what SCADA is and how Ignition differs from traditional platforms in
  terms of openness\, modularity\, and ease of development. She will then w
 alk through the architecture of Ignition and explain how it connects to Al
 len-Bradley PLCs\, manages tags\, and enables real-time control and visual
 ization.\n\nAs an example\, Tanuja will demonstrate a traffic light contro
 l system built in Ignition. This example will show how the interface is de
 signed within Ignition\, how components such as buttons\, indicators\, and
  timers are configured\, and how each element is bound or tagged directly 
 to the PLC logic. Through this simple visual model\, attendees will learn 
 how SCADA screens communicate with PLC data and how changes on the interfa
 ce translate into control actions in real time.\n\nTopics that will be cov
 ered include:\n\n● Understanding SCADA and why Ignition is changing how 
 industries approach automation\n\n● Overview of Ignition’s modular arc
 hitecture and core components\n\n● How to connect Ignition to Allen-Brad
 ley PLCs and configure tags\n\n● Differences between Vision and Perspect
 ive\, and when to use each\n\n● Designing HMI interfaces and binding the
 m to live PLC data\n\n● Example walkthrough: traffic light control syste
 m design and PLC integration\n\n● How SCADA improves plant safety\, reli
 ability\, and data transparency\n\nSpeaker(s): Tanuja Upadhyay\, \n\nAgend
