Unitronics features MQTT in the latest release of UniStream, the award-winning PLC+HMI series. Lightweight, simple, MQTT (Message Queueing Telemetry Transport) runs over TCP/IP, based on a publish-subscribe structure.
Applications
UniStream supports MQTT as a 'client' that can both publish and subscribe to messages. UniStream can: Publish data to a defined Broker according to a configured Topic. For example, the Topic may be Machine; the messages can include application data such as temperature or pressure. UniStream can publish periodically, according to a time period set in the configuration or a periodically, according to event. Receive data from a defined Broker on a defined Topic, to which UniStream is subscribed.
Facing Industry 4.0
In addition to MQTT, UniStream series programmable controllers support a range of communication channels and protocols that supply the connectivity required by Industry 4.0 including SQL, built-in webserver that enables the controller to be accessed via any browser, and more.
