MQTT Client Driver
Read and write data from edge-of-network devices.
The MQTT Client Driver can transfer information to and from an MQTT broker, either on your local intranet or on the Internet. You may then log, view, alarm and report on values from devices connected to that host, in your VTScada system.
- Read information from edge-of-network devices.
- Write data (publish) to edge-of-network devices.
- Store, trend, alarm, and report on this information within your application.
- Subscriber only. Requires third-party MQTT server (a.k.a. Broker).
- Supports being a SCADA Host for devices using Sparkplug B protocol.
SparkPlug B
Accelerate development by auto-generating tags for edge devices.
Sparkplug B is an open standard that enhances the MQTT protocol for the Industrial Internet of Things. It helps ensure interoperability between devices from different manufacturers by defining a common data formatting standard. VTScada can use SparkPlug B to automatically create tags based on information pulled from compliant PLCs.
VTScada’s MQTT Client Driver supports being a SCADA Host for devices using Sparkplug B.
