Data From TilliT to Ignition
Read folder - Asset
To read information from TilliT, expand the Read folder. In here you will find:
RunningOrder Folder - Updated automatically during order lifecycle:
Material - Current material being processed
Material Attributes - Properties of the current material
OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness metrics
Progress - Current order progress information
Work Order - Active work order details and associated information
RunningOrder folder
Here is the order and data lifecycle in the RunningOrder folder:
START order → RunningOrder folder populates with current order data
SUSPEND order → Status updates to reflect suspended state
COMPLETE order → RunningOrder folder clears
Events folder
This folder contains subscribed event data and requires MQTT Integration. See MQTT Integration.
Events in Ignition will be displayed with the information available. If the event you are subscribing is an Activity Completed event, then, you will also have access to the form fields that were submitted.
Best Practice: Using Reference Tags
Recommended Approach for events information: Instead of directly using tags from the TilliT provider, create reference tags in your default tag provider.
Steps:
Create a reference tag in your default tag provider
Set the Source Tag Path property to point to the TilliT provider tag
Use UDTs (User Defined Types) with parameters for scalability:
Parameterise: asset name, line name, equipment path
Allows easy configuration across multiple assets
