How-To: Designing Perspective Dashboards in Ignition SCADA for Multi-Monitor Control Rooms
When transitioning from legacy Vision modules or older SCADA systems to Inductive Automation’s Ignition Perspective, engineers often try to force pixel-perfect absolute layouts onto a responsive, web-based platform. This approach breaks down rapidly in a modern control room featuring varied monitor resolutions and aspect ratios. Building dashboards for multi-monitor setups requires a fundamental shift towards […]
