Hi, I am trying to post data from a csv file to Ignition Scada using python script which reads the data from csv file and publishes it to chariot broker using MQTT Sparkplug B. I have multiple csv files and data from each file is posted by separate python scripts. When I run only one python script the data gets posted in Ignition Scada but when I run two scripts the tags inside Ignition Scada goes “ **bad\_stale** ”. The group id and node id is same for all the scripts but the device id is different. I have also used MQTTfx and Node-Red to subscribe to the the topic and the data is being published there. I think the issue is with Ignition Scada. Kindly help me to resolve the above issue. I am sharing screen shots of scripts and ignition for the reference.

Hi Kevin, Is there a workaround to solve this problem? ---

Sparkplug requires that every MQTT client have a unique combination of the Group ID and Edge Node ID. In your case you have two MQTT clients (one per script) with the group\_id=‘Site A’ and edge\_node\_id=‘Area 1’. If you change one of these to be something different, it should resolve your issue. ---

Actually, the data is being published when I subscribe to the Chariot broker with other applications such as MQTTfx and Node-Red. They also support MQTT Sparkplug B. One node can have many different devices and the device IDs are unique. I don’t think the issue is with Sparkplug B ---

> [@sayyammehra](#): > > One node can have many different devices and the device IDs are unique. I don’t think the issue is with Sparkplug B Yes, but Wes is suggesting that each node be represented by 1 MQTT client connection and by running 2 scripts for the same node you have 2 MQTT client connections for that node.
