Device Mirroring Module
Safe DEV Gateways with Live Production Data — Zero Risk to Your Plant
Ideal for teams that need to keep DEV environments disconnected from physical devices, while continuing to build and test with live PROD data—without risking production stability.
The module allows to stream live OPC tag changes from PROD to DEV in real-time.
Build, test, and troubleshoot in complete isolation without any PLC connections.
Build, test, and troubleshoot in complete isolation without any PLC connections.
Start building safely in an isolated gateway using real data, backed by real-time feeds from active devices
Get a plug-and-play solution that will listen for Production devices OPC tag changes, will replicate them in a destination gateway, while having absolutely zero-risk of impacting production whatever happens in development
Comparing Ignition Architecture Options
Connecting production systems involves balancing security risks against operational complexity. Below is a side-by-side comparison of how each solution impacts your environment.
Device Mirroring Module is the only option providing Zero Security & Operational Risk with low setup/maintenance complexity.
How to get it working ?
Device Mirroring module has been built with one thing it mind: Make it easy for the end user. Everything is automated and you should be up in 5min
1
Install Device Mirroring Module on source & destination gateways
On Source, configure destination gateway.
Optionally configure blacklist/whitelist to limit scope
On Source, configure destination gateway.
Optionally configure blacklist/whitelist to limit scope
2
On destination, accept the connection request.
All source devices are then created/updated automatically as virtual OPC-driver with identical naming to source.

Design & code in a secondary server using real device data, without having to configure anything, and without risks to impact main server
Used in 20+ factories.
For Control Engineers
Develop with real live tag changes without needing physical hardware or manual tag exports.
For Plant Managers
Maintain strict 'No Dev on PROD' compliance while eliminating accidental write-backs to production equipment.
For Quality & Compliance
Stream raw, un-processed tag data for offline auditing, testing, and forensic analytics.
