Step 2. Installing MQTT Server

Every MQTT solutions needs at least one MQTT Server for the MQTT Clients to connect to.  There can be Edge Clients typically data producers and Host Clients typically data consumers, however they are both Clients connecting to the MQTT Server.  There are three options here depending on the size of the system:

• MQTT Distributor - supports up to 50 clients connections and installs as a module on the Ignition Gateway.
• MQTT Distributor Plus - supports up to 250 clients connections and installs as a module on the Ignition Gateway.
• Chariot - supports unlimited clients connections and installs as a module on the Ignition Gateway.

Step 3. Installing MQTT Engine

MQTT Engine is a host client that allows Ignition to connect to MQTT Servers and receive MQTT Messages.  MQTT Engine support Sparkplug B which enables the auto discovery of devices and tags with the rich tag meta data.
