OmniServer's connectivity and data parsing capabilities are its primary job; however, they are only part of how OmniServer helps with integrating non-standard devices with Inductive Automation's Ignition HMI/SCADA. How does the device data actually make it into Ignition and what devices can you connect Ignition to using OmniServer?
In this video blog, I'll show you how to use OmniServer for TPI to integrate vibration data into Ignition via an OPC UA client connection from Ignition to OmniServer - all without the expense and headaches of having to write custom code.
Watch this video to learn how to connect Inductive Automation's Ignition HMI/SCADA to OmniServer for TPI via OPC UA, including basic setup, for integrating TPI vibration monitors from Test Products International without code.
