Host Agent Module
An Ignition module to add client-OS related functions to the gateway like file operations, serial ports management, and many others
For people that are looking to make deep-integrations like read/write files, barcode-readers in serial mode, callipers, weighing scales, or printers and more
The module brings instant capabilities of doing great integrations, even Vision or Perspective sessions are not even started
Get ultra-reliable OS level integrations for your Ignition Perspective or Vision clients
Perspective is fantastic, but the browser layer forbids doing anything related to the operating system. Get back in control of your client OS directly, from the gateway, even a session has not yet been started
Tired of using barcode ready in Key Wedge?
Tired of building bypass to read/write files in your apps?
Users and operators need high-speed HMI integrations, especially when using locally connected peripherals and also running applications on their machines. Unfortunately the browser barrier makes this impossible, even with a great UI as Perspective. Developpers are then forced to use barcode readers in key wedge, to develop alternatives to file management, which at the end make applications not user-friendly, and/or not reliable at all
Host Agent Module
The host agent module consists of two components
A module that is installed on the Ignition gateway
A executable (macOS, Windows, Linux) to be installed on target host
At first start, a configuration needs to be done on host client to allow/forbid access to local ressources.From that time all allowed resources will be visible in a tag provider of the gateway allowing remote management by the gateway if the host exe is running."
