Blockchain-Based Operator Logs and Ignition Auditing

Type:  Community   

Most automated processes require tracking of system status and performance, including operator responses to process upsets. Typically, this is accomplished using a physical notebook, as it is relatively tamper-proof. Using Ignition’s built-in Audit Log, this process can be done digitally, but it’s possible to alter and tamper with after data has been entered. In order to prevent tampering of the digital operator log, Corso Systems has built a tool using blockchain technology to ensure records are not changed, including distributed validation to ensure data integrity and limit the impact of bad actors trying to interfere with the system. This session will cover the implementation and methodology of this technology, real-world use cases, and show how this tool helps keep Ignition at the forefront of digital operations.

Ignition Oil and Gas Collective Session

Hosted By:  Ignition Oil & Gas Collective

Dynagraph Cards in Ignition - Deep Fork Automation
Catch a brief demonstration and technical discussion of the details surrounding pulling Dynagraph card data into Ignition via OPC communications providers (Kepware / Autosol). We will give a broad-stroke overview of how it was accomplished, and answer questions, as well as discuss interesting ideas about how to present and store the card data.

Event Management System – CSE ICON - Pioneer Natural Resources
Pioneer Natural Resources’ team was successfully able to migrate from a third-party software package, used for issue management, with Ignition by implementing an Event Management System solution. Built within the SCADA application, it not only provides more flexibility but also improves efficiency. Removing required manual entry from the SCADA system into the third-party software, the solution allowed them to completely automate the process of connecting an alarm and all the associated metadata (in addition to alarm event info), directly with an event log within SCADA. Further allowing improvements by storing SCADA system metadata and event logs within the same database allowed us to generate more robust and detailed shift turnover reports.
