OPC to Microsoft Azure IoT Hub via MQTT
Free Guide
The DataHub® integrates data from a wide array of diverse data sources, and provides many ways to then utilize that data and flexibly integrate with other systems. This includes MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) one of the leading standards for IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things).
DataHub's IoT Gateway functionality makes it easy to connect your OPC-enabled systems to virtually any MES, device cloud or Big Data analytics platform via MQTT - pre-configured interfaces for Azure IoT Hub, Google IoT and Amazon IoT Core allow you to get started quickly.
This guide is intended to serve as a quick start reference for configuring the DataHub for bi-directional data sharing between OPC UA/DA servers and the Microsoft Azure IoT Hub using the MQTT client functionality of DataHub.
Covers the following in detail:
- Benefits of using the DataHub IoT Gateway
- Configuring an OPC UA / DA connection to an OPC server
- Configuring the DataHub MQTT Client to publish any data in the DataHub to Azure IoT Hub
- Configuring the DataHub MQTT Client to monitor published data from the Azure IoT Hub as example of how to transform MQTT data back to OPC DA & UA.
