• Enable Tag Latching
  • Whether or not to enable Tag latching to synchronize MQTT Tag updates with events in Ignition.

• Latch Timeout

  • The amount of time to wait for a Tag latch to be released before timing out.

• Latch Tags

  • A semicolon separated list comma separated list of Trigger Tag and Latch Tag pairs.
• Filtered Properties
  • A semicolon delimited list of Tag properties to filter/ignore on received Tags.
  • By default the filtered properties list contains:  accessRights;clampMode;deadband;deadbandMode;formatString;historicalDeadband;historicalDeadbandMode;historicalDeadbandStyle;historyEnabled;historyMaxAge;historyMaxAgeUnits;historyProvider;historySampleRate;historySampleRateUnits;historyTagGroup;historyTimeDeadband;historyTimeDeadbandUnits;opcItemPath;opcServer;permissionModel;rawHigh;rawLow;sampleMode;scaleFactor;scaleMode;scaledHigh;scaledLow;tagGroup;valueSource;expression;expressionType;ConfiguredTagPath;eventScripts;readPermissions;writePermissions;eventScripts;parentEnabled;sourceTagPath
  • Tag properties are only published from Transmission if different from the default Ignition tag property settings and are only published in BIRTH messages.

• Enable BD Sequence Validation

  • Whether or not to enable BIRTH/DEATH sequence number validation (required by Sparkplug specification).
• Enable Metric Timestamp Validation
  • Enables/disables validation of metric timestamps against the current tag value timestamp before writing. If enabled, tag writes will only occur if the new incoming metric timestamp is newer than the current tag timestamp.
• Custom Properties
  • Do not use unless instructed to by Cirrus Link personnel.
• Primary Host Control Tags
  • A semicolon separated list of comma separated Primary Host Control tags triples (e.g., tagPath1,tagDataType1,tagValue1;tagPath2,tagDataType2,tagValue2). Review MQTT Engine Primary Host Control for additional information.
  • Supported tag DataTypes are: Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, Boolean and String

• Client ID
  • Optional MQTT client ID to use.  If specified this will be used in the MQTT Engine connect packet when connecting to the server.  If left blank, a random client ID will be create created of the form 'IgnitionTargetME-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx'.

    
    

    Warning
    Caution: MQTT Clients IDs must be unique and if two clients attempt to connect with the same client ID, one will be forcefully disconnected from the server to allow the other client to connect.

  KeepAlive KeepAlive

  Keep Alive
  • The maximum interval in seconds (5-65,535) between any two MQTT protocol control packets sent by the client to the server.
  • Minimum Keep Alive for MQTT Engine is 5.
  • If the client is idle and has no control packets to send, it will send PINGREQ protocol packet and the server is required to respond with a PINGRESP packet. If no response is received from the server within 1.5 times the Keep Alive, the client will close the connection.

  • If the server does not receive, at minimum, a PINGREQ message from a client within 1.5 times the Keep Alive, it will terminate the connection and send the client's LWT message if defined.

  • For MQTT Engine with Primary Host enabled, this is a message of format spBv1.0/STATE/primary_host_id with a payload {"online" : false, "timestamp" : 1668114759262}

  • For MQTT Engine with Legacy Primary Host enabled, this is a message of format STATE/primary_host_id with a payload of OFFLINE
• Filtered Namespaces
  • A comma separated list of namespaces that will be filtered/disabled for connections to this MQTT Server.
  • The default namespaces are Elecsys, Xirgo, Sparkplug A and Sparkplug B.
• Include Sparkplug DataTypes
  • Whether or not to include Sparkplug DataTypes for Metrics in Sparkplug CMD payloads
  • Enabled by default

Server Settings - Advanced Legacy State

...

• Enable Legacy STATE messages
  • Whether or not connections to enable legacy STATE messages (e.g. STATE/[host_id]). This is false by default unless upgrading from a previous module version.

• Enable Primary Host Subscriptions

  • Whether or not to enable MQTT Engine subscriptions on legacy STATE/# and State/# topics.
  • Requires that Enable Legacy STATE messages is TRUE and Primary Host Enabled is FALSE and/or Primary Host ID is null.
  • This setting is for debugging purposes only.
• Username
  • Optional MQTT username to use in the MQTT connect packet.  This is required if the MQTT Server to connect to requires it.
• Password
  • Optional MQTT password to use in the MQTT connect packet.  This is required if the MQTT Server to connect to requires it.
• Client ID
  • The MQTT Client ID for connections to the MQTT Server. If left blank one will be auto-generated .of the form ME-LS-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx
• CA Certification File
  • CA Certification file currently in use.
• Client Certification File
  • Client Certification file currently in use.
• Client Private Key File
  • Client Private Key file currently in use
• Password
  • Optional password associated with the certificate's private key.
• Hostname Verification
  • Enable TLS Hostname Verification. This is true by default.
• TLS ALPN Extensions
  
  • Optional TLS ALPN Extensions to use with this connection
