I wish Rockwell had that plan... new blood would do them a world of good.
No argument there.

...no longer can export tag in CSV format but CSV is the best way to edit a lot of tags instead of XML.
Probably a bit late to the party but I'd agree with the fella (JaxGTO) above that one of the things I didn't like about Ignition was the SQL handling side of things and the fact that history data is split across multiple tables..
Isn't the FactoryTalk ThinManager system supposed to handle all of the stuff regarding accessing certain screens in defined zones in your factory - for instance as you walk around with a tablet it changes what screens are available as you go from zone to zone - pretty sure I've seen that and had it demo'd at the TechConnect events.
When Ignition first came out, I played with it but couldn't get my company at the time to fund me for a plant wide SCADA project. Now I just got a small project with Ignition Edge Panel.
I got tons of really basic question that's almost embarrassing to ask... one thing that already annoy me a bit is it no longer can export tag in CSV format but CSV is the best way to edit a lot of tags instead of XML.
I have seen (but not investigated any further) an "internal" tag history option. I've always had SQL databases available and not had to concern myself further, but it looks like there's an option for doing tag history without a database now. I'm sure it has some limitations on tag count and/or data retention time, but if it's doing what I think it's doing it'd be perfect for a small system.Does ignition REQUIRE a SQL DB like when they first came out? I went through much of the Inductive University stuff but I missed that. It seems SQL is only needed for history but not for tag database anymore.
