Ignition Edge IoT and Event Streams

Ignition 8.3 Early Access
1

I couldn't find any concrete information about this: Will Ignition Edge IoT license come included with Event Streams?

Thanks for reporting this! Currently Event Streams isn't supported with Edge, and I've requested the docs team to update the information accordingly. To utilize this, you'll want to use Platform or Maker.

Hi,

It's really a shame that it's not supported... We are using MQTT between a central Standard Ignition and Edge Ignition instances and need to handle messages published by central to Edge...

Is there any plan to allow the Event Streams module to work on Edge?

Thanks

Edge is a deliberately cut down platform to justify the absurdly low price point. :man_shrugging:

Use system.util.sendMessage() via the GAN.

Yes, we would of used system.util.sendMessage() but the client wants it over MQTT.

@Sfenwick has the doc update stating the incompatibility been made?

I don't think there's docs for every single module or feature that doesn't work in Edge.

Instead, Edge documents its core functionality: Ignition Edge | Ignition User Manual

if it's not here, it's not supported (or the docs need an update).

But in your case, Event Streams aren't here because they aren't part of Edge.

Ok, understood thank you
