Publishes OPC data to MQTT brokers for IoT applications
MQTT Publisher is a dedicated Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) extension that makes it easy to securely send OPC UA formatted data to the following cloud providers: Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud
The following diagram illustrates a typical architecture built using MDB and the MQTT Publisher extension
| Use Case |
| Secure & Scalable OT Data Sharing: Data is often published over MQTT in one-to-many scenarios where an MQTT publisher makes data available to MQTT subscribers. The connectionless aspect of MQTT makes it a popular choice for WAN (internet) based applications because it avoids the types of security threats associated with point-to-point connection-based transports. |
| Maximum Sustainability: MDB MQTT Publisher uses OPC UA PubSub-compliant JSON data encoding to maximize interoperability. This minimizes future sustainability challenges associated with supporting custom JSON encoding. |
Unlock the power of your OPC data with ease!
Securely publish your OPC UA data to leading cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud using our dedicated Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) extension. Elevate your IoT applications with seamless, real-time data integration.To securely publish Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) data to a cloud provider of your choice using the widely-used Message Que Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, use MQTT Publisher - a dedicated MDB Extension. This extension makes it easy to securely send OPC UA formatted data to the cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.
