Opto22 to Ignition over API

Code Samples and Tips
1

Hello all,
To get data from (GRV-R7-MM1001-10) Groov RIO to Ignition over API, do I need to have PAC manager to API settings or opto22 webserver page set up is enough for doing the API configuration and send/receive data?

You can do it all in groov manage on the RIO.

Thank you for the quick reply. So, I have to do that in Node-RED option at the Groov Manager?

Can I find any procedure document to set up and read/write data between opto22 and Ignition?

What exactly are you wanting to get to Ignition?

I am reading a few parameters(temp, pH) from RIO to Ignition , and those data from RIO are being monitoring in Ignition - UI. MQTT is not used here to connect RIO and Ignition, it should be done over API calls.
Opto22 - RIO - generating Json data
Ignition - API call (by using GET instruction)

As of now, I am not writing any data back to opto22. So, I would like to know where to set up API endpoint details in RIO and how to call it by Ignition script.

Elango

I would recommend you take a look at the Ignition Exchange and our groov RIO API Example Project to help get you started.

The latest RIO firmware has a built-in OPC UA server - any reason you can’t use that to get the IO point data?

Hi Philip,

Ignition is on cloud and our client insisted us using API method for communication. That’s the reason.
