Hello Ignition Community,
I’m seeking your guidance on whether there is an option in "Ignition Edge" to configure it so that it can forward unchanged tag values with updated timestamps to the cloud. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Requirement:
We need to configure Ignition Edge to capture and forward tag values with unchanged values but updated timestamps to the cloud. This will help us:
- Ensure that we receive tag values with updated timestamps.
- Plot a continuous graph in our front-end visualization.
Exploration and Issue:
We have explored various options and reviewed the documentation. Disabling the setting under Tag Browser > Scripting > Value Events seemed like a potential solution. However, we are facing an issue where this setting does not get saved when we attempt to disable the default.
Request for Assistance:
Could anyone please suggest how we can configure Ignition Edge to:
- Ensure that the Tag Browser forwards tag values to the MQTT transmitter when there is only a timestamp change, even if there is no value change.
Current Setup/Behavior:
- Currently, Ignition Edge only sends tag values to the MQTT transmitter when there is a change in value.
Desired Behavior:
- We would like Ignition Edge to also send tag values to the MQTT transmitter when there is a timestamp change, regardless of whether there is a change in value.
Ignition Edge Version: 8.1.17
Thank you for your assistance!
