Hi There, We have MQTT infrastructure with Ignition Perspective 8.1. We have been successful to connect Atlas Copco controller to its torque wrenches on same network. I know that Atlas supports Open Protocol. Is there a middlware we can use to communicate from ignition to Controller or Torque wrench using MQTT? I am aware of Kepware. Is there any alternative? The goal is to enable torque wrench and send PSET when operator is on the task. Please help! Thanks ---

Why does it matter if the communication happens via MQTT instead of OPC UA? ---

We are trying to use only MQTT because thats how we have setup the architecture. All of our devices are through MQTT. The question i have is, how do we communication with Atlas controller which is open protocol? What is the standard way? ---

You can write back as well trough Kepware? ---

Presumably, yes. You'd have look at the Kepware documentation or ask them about it to be sure. ---
