Requirements & Compatibility

Ignition Compatibility

System Requirements

• Ignition: One Ignition gateway with the Perspective module installed.

  • Supported versions:

    • Ignition 8.1.30 or newer in the 8.1 line.

    • Ignition 8.3.x.

  • Supported configurations:

    • Standalone gateway running Perspective.

    • Redundant gateway pair running Perspective.

    • Development, test, and production gateways using the same compatible Ultra Charts build.

• OS: Any 64-bit operating system supported by the target Ignition version.

• Databases: None required by the module. Chart data must be provided by the Perspective project through properties, bindings, scripts, queries, or other project-owned data sources.

• Other Required Modules: Ignition Perspective module and Ignition base gateway.

Deployment Notes

• Install the Ultra Charts module on every gateway where Perspective Designer or Perspective sessions need to use the chart components.

• The module registers components in the Perspective Designer palette under the Ultra Charts category.

• Chart configuration, bindings, and event handlers are stored in the Perspective project. The module does not maintain a separate chart database or external chart server.

• For Ignition 8.3 upgrades, validate the project in a development or test gateway before production and verify that all required third-party modules are compatible with the target Ignition version.

Compatibility Notes

• Ignition 8.1.33 and newer use Java 17; earlier supported 8.1 versions use Java 11. Use the Java runtime bundled with Ignition unless a project-specific support decision requires otherwise.

• Custom project scripts, external libraries, or Expert-mode D3 code should be validated against the target browser and Ignition version.

• Ultra Charts renders in the Perspective browser session, so client browser performance and data size directly affect chart responsiveness.
