Ignition is SCADA software. AlsoEnergy's site commissioning articles cover setting it up on monitored PV sites. To add the KPI Library script, first get credentials for the SourceGear Vault client, then download the latest KPI zip file from the Libraries repository. Open the project in Ignition Designer and use File, then Import, to load the KPI Library zip file. If the import fails, bring in the library by hand: import and copy the code from the JSON folders stored in SourceGear Vault. A separate article covers configuring and updating the FTP script on an Ignition site, including how to find the computer name, and uses the PowerTrack Ignition Library. The KPI article's keywords say the library involves Python and SQL.

An AlsoEnergy commissioning article covers setting up and updating the FTP script on an Ignition site. FTP, PowerTrack and the Ignition Library are listed as keywords.

review note: support check: partial - The article on updating the FTP script for an Ignition site, with those keywords, is in the passage. The passage doesn't say that Ignition SCADA uses FTP push as its protocol, though the FTP script article implies a link.; review: partial - The article title and keywords tie FTP scripting to an Ignition site, which supports the note, but the passage never says Ignition uses an FTP push protocol.
