Installation

This page is for the person who looks after the Ignition gateway.

Download​

Download the .modl file for your Ignition version line from the latest release. There is one file for each line: see requirements.

Install the module​

Both module files are signed with the same certificate. The first time, Ignition asks you to accept the Nedama Integrated Solutions certificate. Compare its thumbprint with this one before accepting:

SHA-1 thumbprint: 65:83:84:55:22:06:7C:CC:F9:C6:9B:C6:F3:C6:41:98:3A:28:BD:20
SHA-256: 1C:3C:66:C6:FE:02:27:85:63:29:9B:0F:E0:3B:F4:FA:11:EB:87:8F:21:C9:7D:92:3B:54:ED:59:97:B6:BE:DF

Ignition shows the SHA-1 thumbprint as pairs separated by spaces instead of colons.

  1. Go to Config > System > Modules and choose Install or Upgrade a Module.
  2. Select the ...-Ignition-8.1.modl file.
  3. Ignition shows the module's certificate, with the warning "This certificate is self-signed". This is expected. See why it says self-signed.
  4. Compare the Thumbprint Ignition shows with the one above. If they differ, stop and do not install the file.
  5. Accept.

Why it says "self-signed"​

Ignition checks the signature of every module when it is installed, and refuses a file that has been changed since it was signed.

Psychrometrics is signed with a certificate issued by Nedama Integrated Solutions to itself, not by a certificate authority. That is what "self-signed" means, and it is why Ignition shows the warning. The thumbprint is how you check that the certificate is ours: the same thumbprint is published in the psychrometrics-ignition README.

Upgrade​

  1. On the Modules page (Config > System > Modules on 8.1, Platform > System > Modules on 8.3), choose Install or Upgrade a Module (on 8.3, Install or Upgrade Module +), and select the new .modl file. If the gateway refuses it, uninstall Psychrometrics first (below), restart the Ignition service, and install the new file.
  2. Compare the thumbprint, as for a new install, and accept.

Uninstall​

On the Modules page (Config > System > Modules on 8.1, Platform > System > Modules on 8.3), uninstall Psychrometrics.
