Ignition & MQTT Distributor Module Question

Ignition
1

Hello All,

For the MQTT Distributor module I want my Ignition instance to act as an MQTT Broker so that I can publish to Ignition from other MQTT compliant instances (WebCTRL etc).

What is the process for enabling these instances to show up in the tag provider in the Ignition designer?

Does it automatically translate the published messages into tags?

Along with the Distributor module (which is just an MQTT Broker that happens to run in Ignition), you need the MQTT Engine module to bring the actual tags from the Broker into the Ignition tag provider.
