Guys, I have a compactlogix project that needs to log discrete input tags to an MQTT broker (server). Done a little reading and I don't think I can accomplish this without another piece of hardware but would love some input from others.
Originally planned on adding a redlion cr3000 to easily create csv files and FTP to a network but customer is going with MQTT. Is there a simple solution to communicate straight from the compactlogix on the MQTT protocol or is there support for something like the CR3000 HMI to publish data to the MQTT server?
Unsure atm what the customer is using for their broker, Ignition, Mosquito other, will that make a difference in my options?
whatever the solution is, easier the better (obviously this is new territory for me)
