2. Tapping the Power of Your Historical Data
Robert McKenzie
Director of Training / Inductive Automation
This session talks about the how to control your data with an emphasis on using the SQL Bridge Module.

3. Historical Data Types of Historical Storage Tag History
Simple Logging with Existing Tags
Data Managed by Ignition
SQL Bridge Module
Fully Configurable Transaction Groups
Bi-Directional
Manual Data Management
Tag history
automatic configuration, just make a few selections and data is stored automatically
uses existing tags, piggybacks off of existing realtime scan rates
data is managed automatically by Ignition
SQL Bridge Module
transaction groups that allow you to configure how data is stored
bi-directional data synchronization
you decide how to store data
this means you can retrieve or merge data with any program

4. Tag History Simple, Efficient Historical Storage Simple Setup
Store in any database without SQL knowledge
Partitioned tables created automatically
Auto generated indexes
Querying data is handled by Ignition
Set up multiple tags at the same time with just a few clicks
Data is stored in the database for you, no SQL knowledge needed
Data is partitioned for you with just a few options to select from
Indexes are automatically created based on timestamps and tagids
Queries to return data are handled by ignition

5. SQL Bridge Module Simple History Stored Procedure Block Data
Basic Data Storage
Simple History Stored Procedure Block Data
Simple History
extremely simple logging
get started in a few minutes
configure any way you'd like
Stored Procedure
leverage existing or new stored procedures
store/edit/remove data based on any criteria
Block Group
large amounts of data into blocks
efficiently store, update, or synchronize blocks

6. Bi-Directional Synchronization
Bi-Directional Data Synchronization
Push data between PLCs
Share date between historical DBs and ERP systems
Synchronize data between as many devices and databases as you want
Between devices and databasees
Device to devices
Synch database tables

7. Interact with Anything
Connect more than just PLCs and databases
Barcode Scanners
Scales
ERP systems
Cloud Storage
OEM devices
Auto Generated Files
barcode and QR scanners
serial devices like scales
connect directly and interact with ERP systems
push data to cloud storage
use automated file output systems like OEM devices to store data

8. Access Data from Anywhere
Databases are universally accessible. Once your data is stored you can connect to it with almost any software and view any data collected.
Use your data to:
Create custom websites
Interact with Warehouse and ERP systems
Export files for accounting or other departments
Feed other Ignition modules
databases are universal, use other systems to access data
websites to display data
existing warehouse and ERP systems
create file exports for other departments or storage

9. Solve Problems Meet Any Requirement
Pull data from barcode scanners to track inventory
Push stored recipes to your lines
Trigger data capture on any condition
Record big data efficiently
Read OEM output files for data entry
Take it a step further
Solve any problem/Meet any requirement
Use this tool for anything you can think of
Examples
Pull in data from barcode scanners and scales to track inventory in and out
push stored recipe values to your lines at operator requests
Use triggers to capture data for any condition or rate
use block groups to transfer huge amounts of data efficiently
read OEM output files and automatically enter that data in the database

10. Add Functionality Over Time
Start small: SQL Bridge is a very cheap part of Ignition. It can be used as a stand-alone system or paired with the rest of Ignition.
Once you start using Ignition you can expand it to
include other modules
Create PDF reports
Set up alarm conditions
Develop interactive HMI screens
View data on Mobile devices
Start small, low cost
modules can be added later
get going fast
Use other Ignition modules
reporting to create rich PDF reports
vision to create screens to view and interact
mobile to view data on tablets and phones

11. Creating Transaction Groups
Get Logging Quickly
Simple drag and drop
Change targets and data types
Visual execution set up
Hour and Event Meter options
Automatically create tables
Set Trigger events
Create complex Expressions
Use the visual editor in the designer to set up groups
simple drag and drop tags
change item targets and types with drop-down lists
visual interface to set execution rules
Ignition automatically adds/edits tables
set trigger events
create complex expression items
create hour meter or event meter options for any or all tags
