At this point you have a fully functional system that can be expanded or modified as required. Below are some additional activities you may want to try on your own.
- TLS enable the MQTT Distributor module and disable port 1883
- Note production MQTT Infrastructures should never run on the open Internet without using TLS enabled MQTT connections!
- Modify the MQTT Transmission default transmitter tag tree to add additional tags and get them to show up in the Central Ignition Gateway
- Write to a tag in MQTT Engine to show it update in MQTT Transmission
- Disable MQTT Transmission in Ignition Edge MQTT to see the tags go stale in MQTT Engine
- Set up store and forward in MQTT Transmission to show data being saved in Ignition Edge MQTT when the connection goes down
- Use a Custom Transmitter rather than the Default Transmitter to provide more flexibility on the MQTT Transmission side in terms of tag tree/arrangement
- Add a second or more Ignition Edge MQTT instances pointed at the same MQTT Distirbutor instance that was set up in this tutorial
