Ignition 8.3
New in Ignition 8.3
The most powerful, most open and most flexible version of Ignition so far – these are the highlights.
Historian Module Suite
The universal historian solution
The new Historian Module Suite brings two modules: the Historian Core Module – a zero-maintenance historian backed by QuestDB – and the SQL Historian Module for external databases.
- Use it right out of the box – no external database required
- Open, cross-platform technology
- Storage and queries up to 10 times faster than the previous internal tag history provider
Event Streams Module
Streamline your DataOps
Handle tag changes, database events, alarms and more from one central place – and route them to scripts, databases or external systems.
- Centralize events management
- Subscribe to message queues, brokers and buses
- Process data with Apache Kafka – in Ignition or beyond
Perspective Module
Forms, graphics and offline data entry
Build validated, responsive forms in a flash with the new form generator, create and edit vector graphics with the Drawing Editor, and enter data offline in the Perspective mobile app.
Gateway
Built-in REST API
The first of its kind in industrial SCADA: Ignition’s built-in REST API makes the platform programmatically configurable – plus a redesigned Gateway web UI with combined configuration and diagnostics.

Built for large systems
Streamline build-test-deploy processes and protect your data.
- Gateway deployment modes: dev, test and production on one server
