Learn SCADA from Scratch - Design, Program and Interface

Create and configure OPC and memory tags to link PLC addresses with the scala screen, using Ignition server and item path like M1400 and B30/0, reading and writing data.

Design and test a momentary button in the scatter screen for scada hmi using mascara, linking tag b3:0/0, configuring on/off colors and text, and previewing behavior in run mode.

Pressing the one shot button latches bit B three colon zero zero on with a single pulse and keeps it on until the PLC turns it off.

Learn to label elements on the scatter screen, assign names like motor control recipes, and adjust font size, foreground color, and background color for clear labeling.

Create a numeric label and link it to memory or OPC tags to display real-time values from the PLC data register n7:0, enabling live production counts on the scada screen.

The multi state indicator maps PLC output states to display outputs, using linked OPC tags to show output zero to three and faults, with configurable states and colors.

Demonstrates configuring an LCD display in a SCADA project, including adjusting size and format, selecting colors, and creating tags, timers, and accumulators to visualize PLC data.

Explore reading a 0–5 v analog input via an Allen-Bradley card at address 1.0, and display it with a moving analog indicator, configuring ranges and alarms for real-time scaling.

Explore cylindrical tank level indicators and linear scales by using digital and ultrasonic sensors to read levels, scale analog inputs to percent, and visualize results with interlocked PLC logic.

Display and interpret meter and thermometer readings from a plc in a scada hmi, tagging data, and using a potentiometer to simulate 0–100 values while adjusting min and max.

Learn to design, program, and monitor a virtual PLC-driven box sorting plant with ladder logic, sensors, conveyors, and a SCADA screen.

Create and link PLC tags in a SCADA project by configuring OPC tags, output and sensor tags, and linking them to screen indicators for real-time conveyor and box sorting visualization.

Learn to monitor and control a paint production line with PLC batching, ladder logic, and SCADA visuals, using level sensors and actuated valves to mix RGB colors per a recipe.

Tag start, stop, reset, and batch indicators; monitor plant status with idle, filling, mixing, and final draining. Display current recipe using sequential output position and OPC tags.

Publish your SCADA project using windowed publish to show only the main screen for the operator, after logging in with admin and password.

Save, export, and import a SCADA project in Ignatian Scholar, showing how to save to the default directory, export to desktop, and import saved files.

Install Ignition SCADA from inductiveautomation.com/downloads, configure the OPC UA server, and connect two Siemens PLCs S7-1200 with IPs 192.168.1.106, 192.168.1.100, and 192.168.1.107.

Create an OPC UA server in Ignition SCADA, configure the endpoint with your IP, establish a new OPC connection to read and write tags, and add Siemens S7-1200 devices.

Verify the Siemens PLC and Ignition SCADA connection by configuring the gateway, setting the OPC server and OPC tag, and monitoring the PLC connection status in designer.

Design and implement Siemens PLC tags in Ignition SCADA using DB two, OPC tags, and proper boolean and integer addresses to read and write motor start/stop and speed.

Learn to create database tags for Siemens PLCs in Ignition SCADA using DB2, configuring boolean and integer tags, and enabling read and write with display and control options.
