Ignition 8.1 Module v2.0.0
This version of the module is a near-complete rewrite to bring new features, improved performance, and support for the
latest SDKs.
Major Changes
- Updated to Java 11 and Ignition 8.1 SDK
- Ewon metadata (i.e., tag names, descriptions, data types) is now updated on module startup, and at a configurable
interval.- After module startup, the Ewon metadata is updated in the background at the configured interval.
- Ewon metadata is now retrieved from the Ewon device directly, using M2Web API requests, instead of relying on the
DataMailbox API.
- Added support for buffered tag writes to Ewon devices (i.e., write multiple tags in a single request)
- Added support for Ewon tag groups to organize tags in Ignition
- Implemented asynchronous Talk2M/M2Web API requests to improve performance
Minor Changes
- Improved documentation
- Improved logging output
- Implemented stateful authentication for Talk2M/M2Web API requests to reduce connection overhead
- Resolved a long-standing issue with pre-tag realtime properties being lost
