Step into Industry 4 with MQTT

Unitronics’ latest innovation is your entry point to Industry 4

Unitronics, a leader in the programmable logic controller arena, features MQTT in the latest release of UniStream, the award-winning PLC+HMI series.

Lightweight, simple, MQTT (Message Queueing Telemetry Transport) runs over TCP/IP, based on a publish- subscribe structure.

UniStream supports MQTT as a ‘client’ that can both publish and subscribe to messages.

UniStream can:

  • Publish data to a defined Broker according to a configured Topic. For example, the Topic may be Machine; the messages can include application data such as temperature or pressure. UniStream can publish periodically, according to a time period set in the configuration or a periodically, according to event.
  • Receive data from a defined Broker on a defined Topic, to which UniStream is subscribed.
