Common questions
Is Ignition free to learn?
Yes. Trial mode runs fully for two hours at a time and resets with a click; Maker Edition is free for personal, non-commercial use. Inductive University itself is free.
Vision or Perspective?
Both are covered. Vision is the desktop client used in the batching project; Perspective is the web and mobile module.
Do I need a PLC?
No. A Modbus or OPC UA simulator on your PC provides the data.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a Inductive Automation qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a Inductive Automation credential and is never described as one.
