CLICK PLC C2-NRED Aedes MQTT: Revolutionizing Automation Communication
In the rapidly evolving world of industrial automation, efficient communication between devices is crucial for the success of any operation. Enter the CLICK PLC C2-NRED with its innovative Aedes MQTT Broker node. This Node-RED node revolutionizes how we perceive automation networking. You can now install an MQTT Broker in the industrial environment without using a server on your network. This will speed up your MQTT communication.
We will install the Node-RED Aedes MQTT broker on our Click PLUS PLC C2-NRED module. The clients will subscribe and publish to this broker. Node-RED nodes, MQTT In and Out, will be used in the C2-NRED. We will also use the BRX Do-More PLC and the Click PLUS MQTT communications to create three connections. Let's get started.

well what is MQTT
1:23
mqtt or message queuing telemetry
1:25
transport is a lightweight messaging
1:27
protocol for low bandwidth high legacy
1:30
networks mqtt is a widely used in IoT or
1:34
internet of things systems where it
1:36
facilitates communication between
1:38
different devices and applications
1:39
ensuring reliable data transfer and
1:42
real-time
1:43
monitoring the 80s MQTT broker can
1:46
handle a considerable number of clients
1:48
while specific numbers may vary based on
1:50
hardware and configuration AES has been
1:53
designed to be highly scalable and can
1:55
support tens of thousands even
1:57
potentially hundreds of thousands of
1:58
concurrent
2:01
connections integration of 80s with
2:03
Click Plus PLC C2N

4:47
PLC our 80s broker is now set up on our
4:50
C2 and Red module think of the broker as
4:53
a filing cabinet this is a storage
4:56
device for information
4:58
if information is placed in the cabin
5:00
the clients who want it will
5:01
automatically receive it when it changes
5:03
in MQTT this is referred to as
5:05
subscribing and
5:21
publishing MQTT in out in Node Red
5:26
client we will publish the eight point
5:29
outputs of address 101 of our Click Plus
5:32
PLC
5:38
click and drag an inject click read
5:40
function and MQTT output node onto our
5:45
workspace we'll also add debug nodes
5:48
between the click read and the function
5:51
and between the function and the MQTT
5:54
out
5:57
nodes double click on the click read
5:59
node select the memory type as output
6:02

6:44
message this separates the status of the
6:47
read information in the click PLC to
6:49
just the data select done
6:54
double click on the MQTT out
7:12
node our server will be set up for the
7:14
AD server we just configured the topic
7:17
we choose is similar to our filing
7:19
cabinet example in our case we'll make
7:21
it click backslash
7:24
outputs when setting up your network
7:26
consider future expansion and how this
7:28
information will be utilized the unified
7:31
name space can be used for your
7:33
organization qos or quality of service
7:37
responds to increasing levels of
7:38
reliability for message delivery we will
7:41
set ours for two this ensures that the
7:43
messages are delivered exactly once
7:45
without duplication
7:47
we will also set the retain to true to
7:50
ensure that our values are remembered
7:52

8:19
single topic click backslash outputs
8:22
ensure the topic matches to one
8:25
specified in the MQTT output node we
8:28
will set our QoS to two and use the auto
8:32
detect for our output select
8:35
done select deploy to write our flow
8:38
program into the C2N module select the
8:41
inject mode to test our flow
8:44
you will see our output array from our
8:46
click read going to the MQTT out node
8:50
publish the MQTT broker will then send
8:53
the information out to our MQTT in node
8:55
that we are subscribing
9:12
you will also notice that the 80s MQTT
9:14
sends out a heartbeat allowing us to
9:16
know that it is still
9:19
active mqtt communication employs a
9:22
report by exception approach resulting
9:24
in a quick communication method due to
9:26
its low network
