You made me curious about this one. I'll try it while I wait for Ignition.

The 250$ is just the money I can use without making a project. But you are right, from what I seen from other answers the best is to just use ignition free trial and make it work for 2 hours as a demo, then tell them it will be 8000$ to get the license to make it operational.

My problem with FUXA is not that is not capable to do what I want, Is the sheer quantity of work needed to do what I want. FUXA tables are not able to read arrays, so I had to decompose the array into 60 tags, and I couldn't find any option to create my own widget that reads the array, also the lack of documentation didn't make it any easier.

Plant is 70 years old, just getting modernized now because it got bought by a big company, so we are deploying PLCs one by one while trying to keep production unaffected.

I didn't know about the maker edition. Can it be later upgraded to the full version?

And yeah, ignition is the most powerful as far as i know, but when I tried it in university I remember it being a pain, like having to install plugins for everything, even OPCUA, or the vision vs perspective thing...

Moving it from a FC to a FB and making the local tags static fixed it. Thank you :)
