Cloud Templates Templates are a great way to speed up project development, and now you can use, store, and share many more templates in Ignition v7.7. You’ll be able to access a new, extensive Cloud-based template repository from within the Ignition Designer. Share your templates publicly with the whole Ignition community, or share them privately (for example, within a group of co-workers). Use more templates, save more time. Cloud Templates are a great way to share templates with your entire team.

Template Repeater Create dynamic windows in Ignition v7.7 with the new Template Repeater component. Simplify your development process by repeating a template automatically any number of times. Now both the components and window structures in Ignition can be dynamically variable, and you can enjoy greater flexibility and speed in your SCADA projects.
Make your templates dynamic with the new Template Repeater.
Local Client Fallback Use Ignition’s central-server architecture model and feel fully confident about local control. If a client loses communication with your central Ignition Gateway, it can automatically fall back to a local Gateway. This aspect of Ignition v7.7 maintains the connection between local clients and machines even if the central Ignition server connection goes down temporarily.

Sequential Function Charts (SFC) Module2 By adding the powerful Ignition SFC Module to Ignition v7.7, you can streamline the creation, organization, and visualization of robust logic systems. Now you can visually script logic for large processes by leveraging a standard programming method familiar to many PLC programmers. This separately-sold module works seamlessly with Ignition v7.7, and brings whole new capabilities to SCADA.
Drag and drop powerful components to create robust logic systems.
Transitions: Conditions that evaluate to true or false, either allowing the flow to proceed or blocking it.
800.266.7798 www.inductiveautomation.com
Steps: These elements perform a variety of useful functions.
Jumps: Set up connections without crossing links.
Directed Links: Use these to connect steps and transitions to each other.
Parallel branches/syncs: Use these to set up parallel actions.
