This tutorial will provide step-by-step instructions for the following:
Upon completion of this module you will have an Ignition Gateway connected and publishing live Tag data to an Azure IoT Hub.
Ignition is an Industrial Application Platform that can be used to create SCADA and HMI solutions. A fully functional Ignition system can be downloaded and run in trial mode.
Go to the Inductive Automation download page and download the desired Ignition installer for Windows, Linux or MacOS;
https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition
Once the Ignition installer has been downloaded, follow the instructions provided by Inductive Automation to install and startup Ignition.
Go to the Inductive Automation download page again and select the 'Strategic Partner Modules' tab. Find the Cirrus Link modules section and download the Azure Injector Module.
https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition. The download links should look similar to what is shown below.
Once you have Ignition installed and running, and the Azure Injector module downloaded, browse to the Ignition Gateway console (e.g. http://localhost:8088). Login using the default credentials of admin/password. Click on Configuration tab and then click on the Modules tab on the left side of the page. Scroll to the bottom of the Modules section and click on the Download/Upgrade modules button. When prompted, select the Azure Injector module from the file browser and install it. When complete, the Ignition Gateway Web UI module section should look similar to what is shown below:
Select the "AZURE INJECTOR" → "Settings" link on the lower left of the page to navigate to the Azure Injector Module's configuration page. A detailed explanation of each configuration tab can be found here. For this tutorial, we will only be adding a new Azure IoT Hub Setting.
Click on the "Create new Azure IoT Hub Setting..." link to bring up the following configuration form:
For the Setting Name you can enter any unique identifier, we will use "TestSetting".
For the Connection String you will need to obtain an IoT Hub Device Connection String from your Azure IoT Hub. This can be found by navigating to a provisioned Device within the Device Explorer of the IoT Hub that you wish to use (see below).
