Add TwinCat-MQTT interface
What is the issue/what feature do you want to develop?
- The already existing MQTT-ADS-interface allows to send MQTT messages over Python
- As an alternative, the TwinCAT 3 IoT Communication MQTT enables the direct MQTT communication from the SPS without further use of external software.
What are the requirements?
- A TC3 IoT Communication MQTT license is needed
How do we want to solve it?
- Add a template to use the TC3 IoT Communication blocks
- Write wrappers around some blocks to simplify usage
Did you already add the example function block? @FelixStege
Is there any fully free (OSCAT based or other) TwinCAT V3.1 MQTT library that does not use paid Beckhoff optional licenses and packages ?
The AixOCAT provides one solution utilizing the TwinCAT MQTT library and one solution via Python (no paid licenses needed). I don't know if there are other options in other libraries.
