Introduction
With FactoryStudio 9.2 we're releasing new MQTT Tools. You'll be able to use MQTT in your projects to leverage all the functionalities you can find in our software, visualizing, analyzing and transforming data.
In this version, you'll find:
- New Embedded Broker
- SparkplugB Enhancements
- New MQTT Simulator
- Azure IoT Hub
- Store-and-Forward
- HiveMQ Integration
Embedded Broker
Our included MQTT broker and clients help you get connected safely, securely, and economically to a wide and growing variety of devices and systems.
- Run our broker on its own or tied to a project.
- Tied to a project, our MQTT broker can also expose all project namespaces and properties.
- Our broker supports BOTH Sparkplug B clients AND original MQTT clients, which does not use Sparklug B specification such as Mosquitto.
- Easily publish/subscribe – great for data-constrained or cost-constrained networks.
- Great for using as an Edge of Network gateway or communications hub.
MQTT Client Simulator
We are releasing an MQTT Client simulator (with Sparkplug) to make testing easier and faster – testing for projects in general, testing for communication with the software platform MQTT Client, and for testing our new Dynamic Tag Provider functionality with MQTT.
Why struggle with multiple tools? With this simulator, you can easily publish 30k simulated values to the MQTT Broker – all from the same design environment.
HiveMQ
Get in touch to learn more.
We have made choosing A MQTT Broker much easier!
Those familiar with MQTT know that projects using this technology need a MQTT Broker: with our software platform, we connect to any brokers that use MQTT protocols, as well as MQTT SparkplugB and Azure IoT, and also including an embedded MQTT Broker for testing and development.
As your applications expand, or if you want the benefits and support of an enterprise class MQTT Broker, you can buy a bundled HiveMQ subscription license with any product.
Available in multiple configurations.
HiveMQ Industrial Edge – Basic Edition – 250 MQTT Clients.
HiveMQ Industrial Edge – Premier Edition – 1000 MQTT Clients.
HiveMQ Professional Edition – Unlimited Clients.
Edge Store-And-Forward
Canary and MQTT
We added the Store-And-Forward functionality when our software platform publishes data to the Canary Historian or a MQTT Broker, which means we temporary store the data of a message for transmission to its destination at a later time, in case the network is not accessible for any reason.
This functionality is essential in data collection projects, where the data is sent to a remote repository.
MQTT Workshop
In this workshop, you'll find an overview of these tools and how to use them in your projects.
