Why Enroll in This Course?

Want to learn how SCADA systems work and start building projects with Ignition? This beginner-friendly course gives you a practical introduction to Ignition SCADA by Inductive Automation, one of the most widely used platforms for building industrial HMI and SCADA applications.

You’ll start with the basics of SCADA and Ignition, then install the software and learn how the Ignition Gateway, Designer, and Perspective work together. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll create tags, bind them to HMI components, work with simulated device data, build a tank-level display and alarm, and track historical data using a database.

By the end of the course, you’ll have built two Ignition projects and gained practical experience creating and testing HMI applications. You’ll also receive a certificate of completion from RealPars after completing the course.

With a RealPars membership, you get access to all current courses in our training library for one low monthly or yearly fee. You’ll also get access to new courses that we publish regularly, so you can keep building your industrial automation skills as our library grows.
