MQTT IIOT Recipe

The Diagram below will step you through the process of installing and setting up an end to end solution to gather industrial Internet of things data and send to the cloud while also provide a superior OT solution using Inductive Automation - Ignition platform.  The minimum requirements for this end to end solutions are:

1. Ignition Gateway platform
2. MQTT Server - either MQTT Distributor running as a module on the Ignition Gateway or standalone Chariot Server
3. Host Client - MQTT Engine running as a module on the Ignition Gateway
4. Edge hardware - select appropriate edge hardware platform
5. Edge Client - Ignition Edge
6. Protocols - gather OT data from existing field equipment RTU's / PLC's using native protocols
7. Cloud Injectors -  to transmit OT data to the cloud for big data analytics

Step 1. Installing Ignition Gateway

The unlimited platform for SCADA and so much more.

Ignition Gateway is the SCADA host platform, which performs all the traditional SCADA functions as well as allowing other MQTT Modules such as the MQTT Server and cloud Injector modules to be loaded.

Quick Start Guide

Step 2. Installing MQTT Server

There are three options here depending on the size if 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.
