I’m working for the first time on MQTT data transmission with Ignition.
For my tests i have installed Cirrus Link MQTT Distributor and MQTT Engine on my cloud server and installed Ignition Edge with the Transmission Module on my local PC (as described on this link : https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/Getting+Started%3A+Two+Ignition+Architecture)
I can’t connect to the cloud MQTT server (with a public IP Adress) from the local PC where Edge is installed.
However if i install the Transmission Module on the cloud server, i can connect to the broker easily.
When using MQTTfx on the cloud server i can connect to the broker but when using it on a remote machine i can’t connect to the broker either.
Can the MQTT Distributor Module be used with a cloud Architcture or do i have to use a 3rd party broker ?
Of course it works with a cloud server… that’s the real purpose of an MQTT broker like the distributor.
Just drop an email to your local French distributor to get support support@it-mation.com in your TZ.
They have a lot of experience with MQTT architecture in various scenarios.
But for your actual case, just check if ports 1883/8090 or whatever you’ve are allowed.
Hi, unfortunately, i did not find any solution for that and didn’t have much time to dig further on this subject.
Will let you know if I ever get it working
