MQTT Transmission Module

The MQTT Transmission Module is a crucial tool for companies aiming to integrate their operational technology (OT) with information systems (IT) and utilize data across both OT and IT applications. This module enables seamless data publishing via MQTT, converting Ignition tags and their properties into the Sparkplug format, making them accessible to Edge Gateways, multiple Ignition platforms, and various IIoT applications.

Easy tag management and data transmission

With the intuitive drag-and-drop tag editor, Ignition users can easily select which tags to send to IIoT applications or AWS Greengrass. Leveraging the Sparkplug specification, data is transmitted securely and efficiently, resulting in fast and reliable system updates. This makes managing your IIoT environment simple and straightforward.

Robust store-and-forward functionality

The module offers powerful store-and-forward functionality for data. In the event of a disruption in the connection to the MQTT server, time-stamped data is stored locally until the connection is restored. Once reconnected, live data transmission resumes, and historical data is backfilled. This ensures that no valuable data is lost, even during unexpected interruptions.

Seamless OPC UA to MQTT integration

One of the most powerful features of the MQTT Transmission Module is the ability to create an OPC UA to MQTT bridge. This allows Ignition users to easily share their data with MQTT-based IIoT solutions. It offers a cost-effective and effortless way to expand your existing infrastructure with IIoT capabilities.

Benefits of the MQTT Transmission module

• Data mobilization for IIoT: Seamlessly integrate OT data with IT systems and harness the power of IIoT applications.
  
• Secure and efficient data connectivity: Connect data to one or more Ignition Gateways and other MQTT applications with secure TLS connections for maximum security.
  
• Integration with AWS Greengrass: Easily connect Ignition tags to AWS Greengrass for machine learning and predictive analytics.
  
• Visual tag tool: User-friendly tool for selecting, managing, and scaling tags that are made available to the IIoT network.
  
• Reliable data storage and recovery: Ensures data is stored during network disruptions and resumes data transmission once the connection is restored.
  
• Scalability and redundancy: Supports multiple MQTT servers for optimal scalability and system redundancy.
  
• OPC UA to MQTT integration: Simplify the connectivity of Ignition applications with MQTT, enabling effortless data sharing and utilization within your IIoT environment.
