The industrial MQTT communication protocol is a powerful tool that allows you to exchange device data freely among devices and applications, with little or no IT involvement.
Its simplicity and flexibility make it a popular choice for today's IIoT applications. Adding the open-source Sparkplug specification to MQTT adds even more structure and better support for industrial applications.
In this new video, Opto 22 engineer Terry Orchard takes you through a tutorial on using MQTT with Sparkplug, and how it enhances the following MQTT functions:
- State Management
- Topic Name Space
- Payload Format
The video explains these differences and shows how they apply to the use of MQTT in industrial automation.
MQTT?
If you're new to MQTT or the publish-subscribe architecture, then you'll first want to check out our MQTT introductory video. This will give you a good overview of how the MQTT model works.
MQTT is also included in groov EPIC (Edge Programmable Industrial Controller). Learn more about the MQTT advantages and see a groov EPIC architecture example using MQTT/Sparkplug.
And as always, our pre-sales engineering team is ready to answer your questions!
