IGS Connections

Overview

To use the IGS feature in Configuration Hub, you must have a license for IGS: Industrial Gateway Server - Basic or 100. Also, be sure that for the IGS Settings, on the Configuration API Service, that both the Enable and Enable HTTP fields are set to Yes.

Steps to Enable IGS Settings

  1. In the Windows system tray, select the IGS Server icon.
  2. Right-click and select Settings. The Industrial Gateway OPC Server Settings dialog box appears.
  3. Select the Configuration API Service tab.
  4. Set the 'Enable' and 'Enable http' fields to YES.
  5. Restart the IGS Driver.
  6. If the IGS is configured with a user name and password, in the iFIX install folder, double-click iFIXConfighubSettingsUtility.exe.
  7. Select the IGS credentials tab, and then enter the user name and password for your IGS server (as shown in the fields displayed in the following figure) and click Apply.

Tip: If you need to troubleshoot IGS issues, you can find the IGS log file (igs-browse-config.log) located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\GE\iFIX\ folder, by default.
You can now configure channels/devices in the IGS (devices must be added to show Server details), and then Configuration Hub should display the configured channels/devices.
