MQTT as the Connectivity Spine
Why MQTT publish/subscribe carries every other protocol off the floor and into OpexMX.
MQTT as the Connectivity Spine
MQTT is the single bus that Modbus, OPC-UA, and FOCAS readings get normalized onto.
Why MQTT
- Publish/subscribe — many consumers, one source of truth.
- Lightweight — works over flaky plant Wi-Fi without choking.
- Hierarchical topics — site/line/asset/metric, easy to filter.
Bridging Protocols
- Edge Connector reads the native protocol from the asset.
- Translates the value into a JSON payload with asset ID and timestamp.
- Publishes to a topic like opexmx/site3/lineA/cnc14/status.
- OpexMX subscribes, persists, and reacts.
Topic Discipline
- One topic per asset per metric.
- Keep topic depth consistent so downstream rules are predictable.
- Prefix with site code to keep multi-site data clean.
Tips
Pick your topic scheme once and document it. Changing topics after fifty assets are live is painful.
