Whois & Analysis for inductiveautomation.com

Inductive Automation is a Folsom, California based supplier of web-based industrial automation software.

The Ignition SCADA platform is the company's main product line.

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a control system architecture that uses computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level process supervisory management, but uses other peripheral devices such as programmable logic controllers and discrete PID controllers to interface to the process plant or machinery.

The operator interfaces which enable monitoring and the issuing of process commands, such as controller set point changes, are handled through the SCADA supervisory computer system.

However, the real-time control logic or controller calculations are performed by networked modules which connect to the field sensors and actuators.

Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention.

Some processes have been completely automated.

Ignition is an Integrated Software Platform for SCADA systems released by Inductive Automation in January 2010.

It is based on an SQL Database-centric architecture.

Ignition features cross platform web based deployment through Java Web Start technology.

The Ignition platform has three main components: the Ignition Gateway, the Designer, and runtime clients.

Independent modules provide separate functionality in any or all of the platform components.

Ignition SCADA modules provide features such as: Real-Time Status Control, Alarming, Reporting, Data Acquisition, Scripting, Scheduling, MES, and Mobile support.

Computer software, or simply software, is that part of a computer system that consists of data or computer instructions, in contrast to the physical hardware from which the system is built.

In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs and data.

Computer software includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data, such as online documentation or digital media.

Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used on its own.
